Bearish trend conditions in GBPUSD remain intact although activity is likely to stay volatile near-term. Monday’s low of 1.0350 is a key short-term support. The primary trend is down and a break of this level would confirm a resumption of bearish activity. Note that Monday’s price pattern is a hammer candle and a potential reversal signal. A break of Monday’s 1.0931 high is required to strengthen this signal and this would highlight a short-term base.
