GBP gains capped at 1.2745, disappointing for bulls

A solid rebound off the intraday low on Thursday is a clear, technical warning signal that recent GBP losses have stalled, with Thursday’s low at 1.2620 now important support. 

Intraday price action has turned a little weaker again, with GBP gains capped at 1.2745, which will be disappointing for GBP bulls. Regaining 1.2745/50 and a higher net close on the day will be positive, however.
