Technical Market Overview:

The GBP/USD pair has been trading in a narrow range located between the levels of 1.2342 - 1.2268 after moving towards the level of 50% Fibonacci retracement. The bounce from this level was rather shallow, so the price is still under the bearish pressure and the market is trading below the trendline. The next target for bears is seen at the level of 1.2231 - 1.2224 and if violated, then the bears might push the prices towards the 61% Fibonacci located at the level of 1.2195.

Trading Recommendations:

As long as the price is trading below this level, the downtrend continues towards the level of 1.1957 and below.
