GBP/USD Technical Analysis: Pound hit hard by bears, hovering in 1.3400 region

  • GBP/USD finds intraday resistance at the 1.3470 level and spiked about 100 pips down  now consolidating the bear breakout near the 1.3400 handle.
  • The bears finally broke below the trendline of the rising wedge (blue lines) and while the medium-term trend is still up, a deeper pullback towards the 1.3333 Tuesday’s swing low can be expected.
  • The damage made by the bears suggests a rotation back towards the ascending channel (black line).
