GBP Futures: bearish note still prevails

According to preliminary data from CME Group for GBP futures markets, investors added just 143 contracts to their open interest positions, reaching the fifth consecutive build. In the same direction, volume reversed three consecutive drops and gained almost 21.7K contracts.

GBP/USD still looks to 1.2480
