Technical Market Outlook:
The GBP/USD pair has bounced from the new yearly low seen at 1.1802 towards the 50 DMA, but bulls are struggling with the bounce continuation. The market remains under the bearish pressure (higher time frame trend is down) and the next target for bears is seen at 1.1635. The level of 1.2141 will now act as a technical resistance as well, so a breakout above this level of needed in order to terminate the down trend and rally higher. The level of 1.2141 remains the key short-term technical resistance. The momentum is now positive, but not that strong yet, so if there is no breakout higher, the local pull-back is welcome.

Trading Outlook:
So far the level of 1.2443 was too strong resistance to break through, so a potential Double Top price pattern is still in play. Moreover, the level of 1.2297 which is 50% Fibonacci retracement level of the last big wave down had been hit, so the bears resumed the down trend. The down trend was confirmed with the level of 1.2089 breakout (50 WMA), so now the potential target for bears is seen at the level of 1.1840 or below.
