<p style=““ class=“text-align-justify“>I think it might be safe to say that we’re in the year-end stretch now. There isn’t much to explain the drop in the pound today, with most other major currencies not doing a whole lot – the kiwi being the outlier as noted earlier <a target=“_blank“ href=“https://www.forexlive.com/news/light-changes-among-major-currencies-for-the-most-part-20221221/“ target=“_blank“ rel=“follow“>here</a>. Equities are faring better on the day but the pound is finding itself offered with GBP/USD falling by 0.7% to 1.2100.</p><p style=““ class=“text-align-justify“>The pair is now running towards another test of its 200-day moving average (blue line) at 1.2083 and that remains a key line in the sand in terms of limiting any further downside momentum.</p><p style=““ class=“text-align-justify“>For buyers, they have to keep price above that level to stay in the game. Otherwise, a firm break below that will see sellers start to flex their muscles and target a push towards 1.2000 first in the next leg.</p>
