Resistance in GBPUSD remains intact and the recent pullback highlights a potential bearish threat. The move down signals the end of the Jan 13 - 27 correction and note that 1.2503, the 50-day EMA, remains intact. Furthermore, MA studies are in a bear-mode position highlighting a dominant downtrend. A resumption of weakness would open 1.2100, the Jan 13 low and bear trigger. A clear break of the 50-day average would alter the picture.
