Technical Market Outlook:
The GBP/USD pair bounce was capped at 1.2447 and since then the market has been moving in a trading range located between the levels of 1.2344 - 1.2403. The level of 1.2262 will now act as a technical support and the bottom for the corrective wave W. The overall corrective cycle is now evolving onto more complex and time consuming WXY pattern and wave X is in progress and wave Y is still missing. The momentum is weak and negative, which supports the short-term bearish outlook for GBP, however, the recent breakout above the technical resistance seen at the level of 1.2335 might be a trigger to test the level of 1.2447 again. The deeper technical support is seen at the level of 1.2171 and 1.2210 (H4 time frame 100 MA).

Trading Outlook:
The bulls are temporary in control of the market and the next target for bulls is 61% Fibonacci retracement level (1.2760). So far the level of 1.2443 was too strong resistance to break through, so a potential Double Top price pattern might be in play. The confirmation of the pattern comes with the level of 1.2089 breakout with a potential target at the level of 1.1840.
