GBP/USD has a midterm bearish direction manifested in the direction of the yellow channel.

During Yesterday, GBP/USD was trending up inside a narrow bullish channel ( Violet).

Now the pair is testing the upper limit of the blue channel, in front of one of two scenarios:

1. The pair breaks the lower limit of the violet narrow channel trading below 1.5490 thus resuming its downtrend.

2. The pair manages to break the upper limit of the yellow channel at 1.5550 targetting higher levels inside the violet channel.

VIOLET CHANNEL represents Yesterday's movement.
BLUE CHANNEL represents the last 2 days' movement.
YELLOW CHANNEL represents the last 3 days' movement.

Based on the previous analysis

It's suggested to take a trade whenever Breakout of 1.5490-15550 takes place in the same direction of the break.

SL should be re-closure beyond the entry level in both scenarios.

TP should be 50-75 pips as this is an intraday trade.
