GBP/USD starts year by weighing on support
GBP/USD still hovers above its eight-month low of $1.2475. The early to mid-December lows and last week’s high, ranging from $1.2607 - $1.2617, serve as technical resistance.
A decline through $1.2475 would target the 9 May low at $1.2446 and the 16 April low at $1.2406. Conversely, a rise above $1.2617 would likely aim for the mid-December high at $1.2729.
