GBP/USD lost upside momentum after hitting 1.2435, with 4 hour MACD crossed below signal line. Intraday bias is turned neutral first. Price actions from 1.1946 are still seen as a consolidation pattern. Above 1.2435 will target 1.2705/74 resistance zone. But we’d expect strong resistance from 1.2705/2774 to limit upside. Meanwhile, break of 1.2240 minor support will turn bias back to the downside for 1.2108 support. Though, sustained break of 1.2774 will extend the rise towards 1.3444 key resistance level.
In the bigger picture, fall from 1.7190 is seen as part of the down trend from 2.1161. There is no sign of medium term bottoming yet. Sustained trading below 61.8% projection of 2.1161 to 1.3503 from 1.7190 at 1.2457 will target 100% projection at 0.9532. Overall, break of 1.3444 resistance is needed to confirm medium term bottoming. Otherwise, outlook will remain bearish.
