The GBP/USD pair, before the opening of the European session, is trading below the 21 SMA and below the 7/8 Murrey on the 1-hour chart, showing exhaustion of the bullish force.
The GBP/USD pair is retreating below the 1.41 level after Friday's rally, favored by the weakness of USDX, and also by the fall of the yields of the US Treasury bonds.
The 21 SMA on 1-hour chart could act as immediate support, so if GBP/USD trades below 1.4080, there could be a drop to the 6/8 Murrey, around 1.4038.
On the other hand, a pullback to the 7/8 resistance zone may be a good selling opportunity, targeting the 6/8 Murrey. The eagle indicator is giving a bearish signal.
