GBPUSD continues to trade closer to its recent lows and the trend condition remains bearish. Moving average studies are in a bear-mode set-up, highlighting a dominant downtrend. A recent support at 1.2665, the Aug 8 low, has recently been cleared, paving the way for a move towards 1.2568, a Fibonacci retracement. Initial firm resistance to watch is at 1.2826 the 20-day EMA. A short-term bounce would be considered corrective.
