GBPUSD remains bearish and short-term gains are considered corrective. Recent fresh cycle lows confirmed an extension of the sharp sell-off on May 5 - a break that confirmed a resumption of the downtrend. This also maintains the bearish price sequence of lower lows and lower highs and note that MA studies are in a bear mode condition. The focus is on 1.2081 next, 76.4% of the Mar ‘20 - Jun ‘21 uptrend. Initial firm resistance is at 1.2406, high May 9.
