GBP/USD trading below a 1.5000 a negative

According to the Technical Analyst at ICN.com, “The GBP/USD broke below the previous low at 1.5008, causing a strong bearish wave that is likely to extend, whereas trading below 1.5008 is currently accompanied by a negative crossover on Linear Regression Indicators. The pair isn’t responding to oversold signals on momentum Indicators. Therefore, trading below 1.5000 this week will be considered negative.”
