GBP/USD Technical Analysis: Turning bearish again, break below ascending trend-channel awaited
• The pair had good two-way price moves since the beginning of this week and has been oscillating in an ascending trend-channel formation on hourly charts.
• However, the fact that the pair remains well below important intraday moving averages - 50, 100 & 200-hour SMAs, points to increasing near-term selling bias.
• Meanwhile, technical indicators on hourly/daily charts have just started gaining negative traction and add credence to the bearish outlook amid the recent Brexit chaos.
• A convincing break below the trend-channel support will confirm a near-term bearish breakdown and accelerate the slide towards the key 1.30 psychological mark.
