GBPUSD is trading in a range. The trend condition is bearish and the Aug 14 low of 1.2621 marks the short-term bear trigger. A break would confirm a resumption of the downtrend and pave the way for a test of the next objective at 1.2591, the Jun 29 low and an important support. On the upside, key short-term resistance has been defined at 1.2819, the Aug 19 high. Clearance of this level would signal a possible reversal.
