GBP/USD Technical Analysis: Tight bear channel find some support above 1.2800 figure

  • GBP/USD is down for the fourth day in a row as sellers are keeping the main bear trend intact.  
  • GBP/USD has found some support just above the 1.2800 support and a break below the level is needed to confirm the continuation of the bear leg.  
  • Meanwhile, repeated failure to break below 1.2800 can lead to a pullback up towards 1.2900 figure as bulls will try to break above the tight bear channel (dotted lines)
