Near-term tone came under pressure again after recovery attempt from fresh low at 1.3968 stalled at 1.4135 resistance. Break below 1.4100 handle opened fresh losses towards 1.4000, psychological support and 1.3968, loss of which would signal fresh phase lower of the broader downtrend from 1.4938. Significant support comes at 1.3904, Fib 50% retracement of 1.2872/1.4938 upleg, ahead of 1.3850 zone, mid-March lows. On the upside, 20 day MA on 4-hour chart, currently at 1.4107, maintains near-term bears, while trendline off 1.4938, currently at 1.4190, limits the upside for now.

GBP/USD
Maintains short-term bears off 1.6745 high, after break below 1.6100, the recent range floor, extended to 1.6057, and subsequent bounce ran out of steam at 1.6200 zone. Renewed attempt below main trendline support, drawn from 1.5404 and currently standing at 1.6140, would signal fresh weakness under way, with break below 1.6100/1.6057 to expose 1.5950/35 zone, previous range bottom. Immediate barriers lie at 1.6180/1.6200 zone, while only break above 1.6300 would improve near-term structure.
