The British pound reached August price levels around 1.2826, testing the top of the bullish channel formed since December 21. GBP/USD failed to break it and we now observe a strong technical correction. Currently, it is trading below the 21 SMA and is likely to continue its bearish cycle until the price reaches the bottom of the uptrend channel around 1.2740.

As the market is showing strong overbought levels, we expect the British pound to continue falling in the coming hours. If GBP/USD breaks the uptrend channel, the price could reach the 200 EMA located at 1.2704 and could even reach the weekly support level of 1.2650.

There is strong bearish pressure on the British pound, so we can sell at current price levels or wait for a technical bounce around 1.2740 to buy with the target at 1.28.

The fall of the GBP/USD pair is imminent for the next hours because the eagle indicator has entered the extremely overbought zone since December 27th. GBP/USD will likely fall and then resume its bullish cycle, but first, we must wait for a technical correction.
