Bad inflation data is weighting on the GBPUSD pair (0.3 % vs 0.4 % expected) and that could possibly mean no rate hike anytime soon and it caused a deeper retracement in the price. Technically we can see an uptrend on H4 time frame and the price is reaching deeper retracement zone and important crossroads.
POC (78.6, historical buyers, trend line) 1.4140-55 is important as the price could find now moment buyers that would spike the price up towards L4 1.4220. However only if the 4h candle closes above 1.4220 we could see 1.4350 again. POC is very close to the first leg of bearish M pattern too, so if 1.4115 is lost the price will go for another test of 1.4050 and 1.4000.
