The GBPUSD rally was sold into the Thursday close, largely reversing the post-payrolls market reaction posted across the first half of the week. The pullback puts spot back below the 20-day EMA, as overriding USD strength dominates. The longevity of the pullback will be key for informing the viability of the recent base at the Oct 4 low. A return higher opens gains toward the 200-dma above at 1.2441 and levels last seen in mid-September. For now, last week’s fresh cycle lows remain in view, which has reinforced bearish conditions over the medium-term. To return focus lower, 1.2028, the Mar 16 low will be the key downside target. For now, short-term gains are considered corrective.
