The price needs to break the support and on a retest of this area, the bears will be looking for it to hold and confirm the downside bias towards the target area.

The pound is often regarded as a riskier currency to hold at times of stress due to the nations twin deficits, so this too could tip the balance the bear's favour for the opening sessions this week.
