Technical Market Outlook:

The GBP/USD pair has been seen bouncing from the 38% Fibonacci retracement level located at the level of 1.2141.

The momentum on the H4 time frame chart is back above the level of fifty, so bulls are in temporary control of the market.

Trading Outlook:

The weekly time frame chart shows the Bearish Engulfing candlestick pattern was made during the breakout attempt above the 1.3163, so the bears are in charge of the market and they are pushing the price lower. The market already trades below 50 and 100 WMA. Any sustained breakout below the key long term technical support seen at the level of 1.1802 would dramatically increase the chances of another leg down towards the level of 1.1494.
