GBPUSD traded sharply lower Apr 30 and in the process breached support at 1.3824, Apr 22 low. Despite yesterday's recovery, a bearish threat remains present. The move below 1.3824 and the failure to tackle resistance at 1.4009, Apr 20 high, highlights this threat and the risk of a pullback towards 1.3669, Apr 12 low. Clearance of this level would strengthen a bearish case. Cable needs to clear resistance at 1.4009 to reinstate a bullish theme.
