London calling

The GBP/USD pair slipped to a fresh weekly low at 1.2418, shattered by the growing risk sentiment and more weighed by a quite Markit construction PMI, which introduced 52.2 for March, lower than February's 52.5 and not matching with market's expectations of 52.4. After Monday's weak data, today’s macro agenda printed lower construction activity in the United Kingdom in March, setting the Sterling under additional pressure. Meanwhile the trade deficit numbers from the United States are down according to the expectations, because exports has increased more than the imports did. 
On the four-hour time frame the 20-day SMA has started to turn to downwards. RSI has switched to bearish mode, as since Monday is marking lower lows and currently is situated at 41. Stochastic is displaying sharp southern slope and is located withing extreme oversold area.
The trend index is bearish, volatility is shrinking and the forecast bias as well points bearishness. 
Quit holding out, draw another breath and stay long at 1.245.
