On January 17th we warned GBPUSD bulls that price was breaking below a key upward sloping support trend line and that a new bearish signal was provided. Our expectations were to see GBPUSD move lower for the following sessions.

Black lines - Fibonacci retracements

GBPUSD is making lower lows and lower highs in the 4 hour chart. Price is now in a short-term bearish trend. Price has already broken below the 38% Fibonacci retracement and is heading towards the 50% level. Next key support levels are found at 1.3457 (50% Fibo level) and at 1.3390 (61..8% Fibo level). Since the 38% level was broken so easily, I would expect price to reach the 61.8% level. There is no sign of a reversal. Bears are in full control of the downtrend in the near term.
