Overview: Certainly anything can happen as the result of the Brexit vote becomes known. Be on the lookout for high degrees of participation and enhanced volatility facing the GBP across the majors.

For the time being, the GBP/USD is hanging in there above daily support. In the event rates penetrate the Daily SMA (1.2649), we may be in for even more of a downside before today’s closing bell.
