Whether GBP/USD will extend the ongoing recovery rally or fall back below 1.26 depends on where the pair closes today.
Daily chart
Cable carved out a bearish outside reversal candle on Tuesday. Put simply, the day began with optimism but ended on a pessimistic note. As a result, that candlestick pattern is considered an early sign of bearish reversal.
A close below 1.2707 (low of the bearish outside reversal) would imply an end of the corrective bounce from the recent low of 1.2373 and put the GBP bears back into the driver’s seat.
On the other hand, a close above 1.2797 (yesterday’s high) would signal a continuation of the recovery rally and open the doors to test of supply around the long-term falling trendline hurdle, currently at 1.29.
