Technical market overview:
The GBP/USD market has bounced from the level of 1.2772 and has broken through the technical resistance at the levels of 1.2832, 1.2853 and 1.2876 (all of them are now local supports). The bulls have managed to test the key technical resistance zone located between the levels of 1.2920 - 1.2928, but they did not manage to break through it as the Shooting Star candlestick pattern was made.
