GBP/USD Technical Analysis: ascending trend-channel break confirms a near-term bearish trend

   •  Poor UK manufacturing/industrial production data prompts some aggressive GBP selling, dragging the pair below Friday's swing low and a short-term ascending trend-channel.
   •  A subsequent fall below 200-period SMA on hourly chart reinforces a short-term bearish breakdown and paves the way for a further near-term depreciating slide.
   •  Short-term technical indicators - RSI and MACD, point to additional weakness, especially against the backdrop the recent Brexit rhetoric.
