GBP/USD Price Analysis: Bears could be about to make their moves

  • GBP/USD bulls are moving in from key support.
  • Bears could be lurking around a 50% mean reversion. 

GBP/USD is correcting into a potential resistance area, something that was eyed at the start of the week in the following analysis: GBP/USD Price Analysis: Bulls about to make another move? 1.2450 is key

GBP/USD H4 charts, prior analysis

While the above is a theoretical schematic, it identified the key areas of support and resistances in the 4-hour time frame. The micro trendline was under pressure but it was stated that ´´so long as the broader trendline remains intact, meeting 1.2450, or thereabouts, then it would be reasonable to expect the bulls to move in again.´´

The correction is playing out. 

We have seen a move toward resistance and the Fibonacci scale sees the 38.2% ratio under pressure. A subsequent sell-off could be in order if the bears commit at the prior lows that might act as support into a 50% mean reversion.
