Early in the American session, the British pound is trading around 1.2373 below the 21 SMA and within the downtrend channel formed since January 9.

We can see that the British pound is consolidating in a symmetrical triangle pattern. If GBP/USD pair breaks this technical pattern in the next few hours, we could expect it to continue falling, but to do so, the instrument will have to break the bearish channel sharply and consolidate below 1.2360.

In case the British pound falls and trades below the 21 SMA located at 1.2381, there is a strong probability that it could fall and reach the strong support around 1.2207 (6/8 Murray) and finally reach the 200 EMA located at 1.2197.

Our trading plan for the next few hours is to sell the British pound if it consolidates below 1.2360 with targets at 1.2305 and 1.2207(6/8 Murray). In case GBP/USD consolidates above 1.2415 on the 4-hour chart, it will be a clear signal to buy with targets at 1.2451(7/8 Murray) and 1.2500.

The eagle indicator is showing an extreme oversold signal. In the event that the GBP/USD pair falls and a technical correction occurs, it could resume its bullish cycle. The key point could be the 6/8 Murray zone, a level that converges with the 200 EMA around 1.22.

# GBPUSD tests 61.8% and swing area The GBPUSD is in an up and down day. The    GBPUSD  moved higher earlier. That move was helped by better than expected retail sales. However the high price today stalled near the high price from last week near 1.3643, and rotated back lower on the USD buying. The subsequent move lower now has the price back toward the 61.8% retracement along with a swing area between 1.35969 and 1.36034. As I type, the price has dipped below that swing area. What next? If the price can stay below the 1.36034 area, that would be the best case scenario for the sellers with the next major targets coming in at the 100 hour moving average 1.3569 (blue line), and the 200 hour moving average at 1.35609 (green line). The 50% midpoint of the 2022 trading range is just below those levels at 1.35526 and would be a another target on further weakness. A move back above 1.36034 with momentum would have traders looking again toward 1.3618 to 1.36271 and then t...
