GBPUSD maintains a softer tone and is trading at its recent lows. Thursday’s move lower resulted in a test of the 50-day EMA which intersects at 1.2408. This average represents a key support and a clear break would strengthen current bearish conditions and expose 1.2345, the Apr 10 low. On the upside, initial firm resistance is seen at 1.2547, the May 16 high where a break is required to signal a possible reversal.
