Technical Market Overview:
The GBP/USD pair has been testing the lower channel line from below and failed to move above it. In this situation, the bears have taken control of the market and push the price towards the level of 1.3017 as anticipated. This is the local technical support level and might be broken with ease. On the other hand, in order to continue the move higher, the bulls must break through the level of 1.3171. The momentum has changed from neutral to negative, so the odds for another move up are low. The target for bears is seen at the level of 1.2988 and 1.2962.
