GBP/USD Technical Analysis: Wedge still in play - 1.2800 can be on the cards

  • Cable bears are at work trying to resume the main bear trend. 
  • GBP/USD created wedge and double top pattern. Bears are trying to break below the bull trendline and the 4-hour 50-period simple moving average. If sellers are able to break below the bullish trendline the first target is located at 1.2800 followed by 1.2700 figure. 
  • A bull breakout above 1.2937 (August 22 swing high) would invalidate the bearish bias.
