Technical Market Overview:

The GBP/USD pair has been trading inside of a narrow range for the whole week, but just recently the bulls have managed to move the price a little bit higher towards the level of 1.2118. This level has been violated and the local high was made at the level of 1.2148. Nevertheless, the price is still trading below the short-term descending trendline, so only if this line is violated the bulls will get the chance to lift the prices toward the next target levels located at 1.2209 and 1.2248.

Trading Recommendations:

The best strategy for current market conditions is to trade with the larger timeframe trend, which is down. All upward moves will be treated as local corrections in the downtrend.
