Sterling And DAX: Bearish Momentum To Continue?

To the surprise of the market, the Bank of England decided to keep interest rates on hold, which has led to a significant drop in the cable. With no fundamental support from the BoE and the threat of recession in the U.K., the outlook for the pound remains bearish so far. A next lower target is now seen at around 1.2170. Below 1.2140, the focus shifts to the crucial support at 1.20. A short-term resistance is however seen at around 1.2330.
