GBP/USD Technical Analysis: Seems vulnerable to break 1.2700 handle and retest YTD lows
• The pair, on several occasions over the past two weeks, had failed to sustain/build on its momentum beyond 200-hour SMA, indicating persistent selling bias at higher levels.
• Moreover, technical indicators on 4-hourly/daily charts have retained their bearish bias and thus, increase prospects for an extension of the near-term downward trajectory.
• However, oscillators on the 1-hourly chart are pointing to slightly oversold conditions and warrant some consolidation before the next leg of a bearish slide to YTD lows.
