GBP/USD is currently trading at 1.2365 - just short of the downward sloping (bearish) 5-day moving average (MA) at 1.2940, which proved a tough nut to crack in the previous two trading days.

As seen above, the 5- and 10-day MAs are trending south, having produced a bearish crossover on Feb. 4. That bearish view would gain credence if the 5-day MA again reverses gains, leading to a deeper drop to 1.2842 (50-day MA).
A close above the 10-day MA would invalidate the bearish setup.
