Pair's Outlook
GBP/USD has established a new accelerated down-trend, which has been guiding the pair south since Jan 28, and it is likely to stay intact until the price falls down to the falling support line at 1.4930/20. For the time being the near-term technical studies support this view; however, the longer-term indicators are mixed, and the demand at 1.50 proves to be significant. Nonetheless, eventually the rate is expected to descend down to the 2013 low at 1.48.
