A bearish theme in GBPUSD remains intact. Support at 1.2519, the Feb 5 low and a bear trigger, has been breached. The clear break strengthens a bearish theme and highlights a stronger reversal signal. Moving average studies are in a bear-mode set-up and this highlights a downtrend. Scope is seen for an extension towards 1.2364, a Fibonacci retracement. On the upside, initial firm resistance has been defined at 1.2709, the Apr 10 high.
