GBPUSD maintains a softer short-term tone following this week’s sell-off. The pair has breached support at the 20-day EMA and has pierced the 50-day EMA at 1.3113. A clear break of this average would strengthen a bearish threat and open 1.3049, a Fibonacci retracement. For now, the medium-term trend condition remains bullish. Initial resistance to watch is 1.3242, the 20-day EMA. A break of it would signal a possible bullish reversal.
