GBP/USD technical analysis for 21/02/2019:

Another sign of weakness made by the market

Technical market overview:

The GBP/USD pair is sending another bearish signal despite the fact the 61% Fibonacci retracement level has been broken and a new local high was made at the level of 1.3108. The price has already broken below the technical support at 1.3042 after the Bearish Engulfing candlestick pattern was made and it looks it is going lower towards the technical support at the level of 1.3012 and 1.2996. The market conditions are overbought and the momentum is pointing to the downside, which again supports the short-term bearish outlook.

The larger time frame trend is still down, so any spikes up should be treated as a local upward correction during the downtrend.
