Technical Market Outlook:

The GBP/USD pair has made a local low at the level of 1.2406, just above the 61% Fibonacci retracement located at 1.2397. Any violation of this level will open the road towards the next target for bears seen at 1.2310. There is a short-term ascending trend line close to this level, so it might get tough for bears to violate it in one go. Please notice, the momentum indicator is neutral, but when it turn south, then the sell-off might accelerate towards 1.2246 level. It looks like bulls are not strong enough to push the price above the level of 1.2485 and the price is consolidating in a narrow zone before the plunge.
