Technical Analysis of GBP/USD for January 6, 2021

Technical Market Outlook:

The GBP/USD pair has been consolidating in a narrow range around the level of 1.3624 after the 50% pull-back towards the level of 1.3540 was done. Please notice, that one of the candles at the recent top is a Doji candle, which indicates a possible termination of the up trend. The level of 1.3624 will now act as an intraday resistance for the price. The next target for bears is seen at the level of 1.3428. Moreover, the RSI indicator is starting to break down from the neutral level and the market is coming off the overbought conditions. Any violation of the recent local low at 1.3540 might trigger another the pull-back or even a sell-off.
