GBPUSD maintains a sell-on-rallies theme as price failed to retain upside momentum after the 1.2269 print Tuesday. Recent weakness reinforces a S/T bearish theme and signals scope for a continuation. Price has now moved south of the 200-dma at 1.1947 to expose key support at 1.1842, the Jan 6 low. A break of 1.1842 would highlight a potential trend reversal and a double top. Firm resistance is 1.2265, Feb 3 high. Key resistance is 1.2448, Jan 23 high.
