FXStreet (Córdoba) - GBP/USD remains under pressure during the American afternoon as the greenback gathered momentum, dragging Cable to fresh 2-week lows.
GBP/USD made a marginal new low of 1.5118 but lacked follow-through to break decisively below the 1.5120 support area. At time of writing, the pair continues to struggle around 1.5120, recording a 0.46% loss on the day.
GBP/USD technical perspective
From a technical view, Valeria Bednarik, chief analyst at FXStreet noted that the short term technical outlook remains bearish, “given that in the 1 hour chart, the price is developing well below a bearish 20 SMA, whilst the technical indicators present bearish slopes in negative territory”.
