A release of better than expected growth rate of the UK Manufacturing Production created an upside momentum that enabled the pair to return back to the 1.3228 level.  

However, then fears of growing political risk in Britain and Trump's participation in the ASEAN summit strengthen the buck and dragged the exchange rate to support area near the 1.3120 mark. 

On the one hand, the further road to the bottom is obstructed by the lower support line and the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement level. 

However, if the current bearish pressure continues this barrier may not sustain. In that case, the cable is going to test the next support zone lying around the weekly S1 at 1.3090. 

It should be noted that recovery of the Pound also looks unlikely, due to pressure from the falling 55-, 100- and 200-hour SMAs.
