GBPUSD traded lower Tuesday as a short-term correction extends. Support at the 20-day EMA - at 1.3253 - has been pierced. A clear break of this EMA would signal scope for a deeper correction, potentially towards the 50-day EMA at 1.3107. The trend condition remains bullish and moving average studies are in a bull-mode position, reflecting a clear uptrend. A resumption of gains would refocus attention on the 1.3500 handle.
