GBPUSD traded weaker for a fifth consecutive session Thursday, marking an extension of the streak of lower lows in the pair and a partial retracement of the late June rally. Markets are on watch for a potential reversal pattern - which gathered strength on the show below 1.2866 - the 50% retracement of the late June upleg. This opens potential for losses toward 1.2801 initially. More broadly, moving average studies remain in bull-mode position, with upside focus on 1.3174, the top of a bull channel drawn from the Mar 8 low.
