Technical Market Outlook:
The GBP/USD pair has broken out from a horizontal range located between the levels of 1.2044 - 1.2008 and made a new yearly low at the level of 1.1809. The market remains under the bearish control (higher time frame trend is down) and the next target for bears is seen at 1.1635. The level of 1.2087 will now act as a technical resistance as well, so a breakout above this level of needed in order to terminate the down trend and rally higher. The level of 1.1914 remains the key short-term technical resistance. The weak and negative momentum on the H4 time frame chart supports the short-term bearish outlook for GBP.

Trading Outlook:
So far the level of 1.2443 was too strong resistance to break through, so a potential Double Top price pattern is still in play. Moreover, the level of 1.2297 which is 50% Fibonacci retracement level of the last big wave down had been hit, so the bears resumed the down trend. The down trend was confirmed with the level of 1.2089 breakout (50 WMA), so now the potential target for bears is seen at the level of 1.1840 or below.
