Oversold decline has not stabilised; the Pound Sterling (GBP) could drop further to 1.2645. The next major support at 1.2610 is highly unlikely to come into view, UOB Group FX analysts Quek Ser Leang and Lee Sue Ann notes.

GBP may test 1.2780 in short term

24-HOUR VIEW: “We did not anticipate GBP to drop sharply to 1.2674 yesterday (we were expecting sideways trading). While the decline is oversold, it has not stabilised. Today, GBP could drop to 1.2645 before stabilisation can be expected. The next major support at 1.2610 is highly unlikely to come into view. Resistance is at 1.2710; a breach of 1.2735 would suggest that the weakness in GBP has stabilised.”
