Recent fresh cycle lows maintain the price sequence of lower lows and lower highs and moving average studies are in a bear mode position.

  • GBPUSD bears remain in the driver’s seat and short-term gains are considered corrective. The extension lower last week strengthens the case for bears and maintains the downtrend price sequence of lower lows and lower highs.
