Key Quotes:

"Sterling broke under 1.33 in overnight trading and quickly tumbled to 1.3205 before stabilizing."

"Intraday price action suggests a minor bounce, rather than a more meaningful reversal, we think and the broader technical trend remains bearish for the GBOP following Cable’s loss of support at 1.3710/15 at the start of the month."

"We continue to target a drop to the 1.31 area as a result (but would not exclude the risk of a downside overshoot). Near-term, we spot resistance at 1.3300/10."
