GBPUSD is trading higher today and this has resulted in a test of resistance at 1.2705, the 20-day EMA. The trend outlook is bearish and short-term gains are considered corrective. Last week’s move lower resulted in a break of support at 1.2621, the Aug 14 low and 1.2591, the Jun 29 low. This confirms a resumption of the downtrend and opens 1.2521, a Fibonacci projection. On the upside, clearance of the 20-day EMA would expose 1.2819.
