GBPUSD continued its short consolidation phase marginally below the 20-day simple moving average (SMA), as it was unable to close decisively above the 1.3600 level over the past week. The 23.6% Fibonacci retracement of the 1.4248 – 1.3411 downtrend is currently keeping the bulls under control around 1.3608 as the technical picture is providing little hope for a change in the downbeat market sentiment.
