GBPUSD Faces Medium Term Downside Pressure

[AlpariMox1]

GBPUSD: Having remained weak and vulnerable to the downside, GBPUSD faces medium term downside pressure. Despite its flat close the past week, we think downside risk is not over yet. This is coming on the back of its loss of upside momentum on Friday (see daily chart). Support lies at the 1.4850 level where a break will turn attention to the 1.4800 level. Further down, support lies at the 1.4750 level. Below here will set the stage for more weakness towards the 1.4700 level. Its weekly RSI is bearish and pointing lower supporting this view. Conversely, resistance stands at the 1.4950 levels with a turn above here allowing more strength to build up towards the 1.5000 level. Further out, resistance resides at the 1.5050 level followed by the 1.5100 level. On the whole, GBPUSD faces medium term downside pressure though closing on a rejection candle the past week.
