Sterling traded heavily on Tuesday and retains a weak undertone today.

Technical momentum is accumulating bearishly for the GBP on the intraday and daily oscillators. Sterling has not made a new low against the USD on this move down, however – in contrast to many of its peers.

The early February low at 1.2519 remains intact and a grouping of support points around the 1.2500 zone suggests USD gains may be held up for now.

Resistance is 1.2610.
