Technical Market Outlook:

The GBP/USD pair has bounced from the recent lows located at the level of 1.2547 and is heading towards the 100 MA on the H4 time frame chart located at 1.2691. The weak and negative momentum on H4 time frame chart bounced from the extremely oversold market conditions as well, so the market is ready for an up move. Only a strong reversal and a breakout back above the level of 1.2655 would change the short-term bearish outlook, otherwise the price might just bounce up and down in a whipsaw mode for some time. Reversal confirmation comes with the violation of 50 and 100 MA levels.
