FX:GBPUSD   British Pound / U.S. Dollar
Current trend

The pair has finally managed to break down the important support at 1.2860, which makes the Pound more vulnerable. The British currency has been falling for the last few weeks and now, when the important support area is broken, it is only a matter of time before the pair falls even further to the region of 1.2600.

The Pound will probably remain under pressure in the short- and medium-terms as the process of Brexit is likely to be prolonged. Many important factors such as the country’s access to the European markets yet remains unclear for investors.

Due to the lack of important data from the US or UK today, the pair will continue trading with low volatility.
