Daily ascendant trend line at 1.4840 area, remains key midterm inflection point.
Support levels: .4930 1.4880 1.4840
Resistance levels: 1.5020 1.5060 1.5100
Pound is falling big after GDP downward previsions, accelerating after breaking past week low of 1.6460, now turned into first resistance level to consider.
