Sterling Stays Muted to Brexit Developments
GBPUSD remained rather flat. Price action was seen testing the lower end of the support at 1.2203. It later bounced back higher after testing this level but prices remain caught to the upside of 1.2291. As long as the support holds, the currency pair could remain flat. But the bias is building up to the downside. A breakdown below the support could signal a decline to 1.2082.
