The pound weakens against the dollar after the Bank of England sees rate cuts on the horizon. Sterling is now trading at around £1.2705 against the dollar after reaching a high of £1.2893 earlier in the month. The short-term bias seems like it is turning bearish with now a potential sell-off towards the 200-day moving average. The support now for the pair sits at £1.2667. A break below this level would then increase the likelihood of a further decline towards £1.2599, which would find the pair just above the 200MA. It would be unreliable to consider any resistance levels at this moment in time unless the support of £1.2667 is upheld followed by consolidation. Looking at the technical indicators, the MACD is negative and the RSI has now faltered as it reads 46.
