This is what a couple of the online FX trading analysts say about the currency pair in the near-term:

FXstreet says in GBP/USD analysis that it sees the pair trading in a range between 1.5250 and 1.5440.

“Intraday woes had also affected Pound, that reached 1.5520 resistance area before slumping strongly to a fresh 3 months low barely below current price zone. A bit exhausted to the downside according to hourly chart, pair seems aiming for a limited bullish corrective movement before next slump, as 4 hours indicators are strongly bearish, still heading towards the 1.5250 price zone,” it adds in intraday analysis.

Meanwhile, Forexcycle notes that GBP/USD continues its bearish movement from 1.5910, and the fall extended to as low as 1.5345 level.

“Deeper decline to test  1.5296 (Sep 7 low) long term key support is still possible, a break below this level will confirm that the long term uptrend from 1.4230 (May 20 low) is complete,” the realtime forex news site adds.
