Nevertheless the GBP/USD pair showed a significant bearish reaction towards 1.5950 - 1.6000 which gave some bearish expectations. The pair has failed to break through the level 1.5800 which allowed the bulls to make a strong push to the upside and break 50% & 61.8% Fibonacci levels at 1.5925 & 1.6090 respectively.
Price levels 1.6262 -1.6300 mentioned yesterday correspond to the backside of the broken short-term uptrend line & previous Supply zone.
