Investor fears over the United Kingdoms continued membership of the European Union has also increased the negative pressure on the Pound. The Brexit referendum is now looming large on the horizon. Only an overwhelming endorsement by the UK electorate for continued membership of the Union will ease the pressure on Stirling.

From a technical viewpoint, the negative GBPUSD sentiment can be seen by the current monthly Ichimoku chart setup.

GBPUSD is trading under the cloud. The next levels of significant support being found at the 1.3650 and the 1.3500 areas.

The daily timeframe, however, does look bullish with Pound trading higher following its upside break off an inverse head and shoulders pattern. Furthermore, GBPUSD is now trading above its daily cloud.
