The British pound currency has continued to fall against the US dollar after more rate hikes from the United Kingdom central bank pushed sterling towards the 1.2100 level.<\/p>

Additionally, the UK is facing economic stress and the prospect of health strikes across the country. So it can be said the mood has turned dark towards the GBPUSD<\/a> pair.<\/p>

Additionally, cross pair pressure also weighs on the British pound. The rising EURGBP<\/a> pair is causing the British pound to generally underperform also.<\/p>

The fact that the GBPUSD pair has sunk so much over the last few days also hints that the GBPUSD pair has rewound from overbought technical conditions.<\/p>

Speaking of the technicals, bearish MACD price divergence is also predicting the GBPUSD pair could start to fall well below the 1.2000 support level soon.<\/p>

The ActivTrader platform also shows that the traders are bullish. The Market Sentiment tool highlights that 61 percent of traders are currently long sterling.<\/p>

Typically, this is a bearish sign as we look to fade traders one-way sentiment. While it\u2019s not so high, it\u2019s still a potential bearish sign for GBPUSD.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

GBPUSD Short-term Technical Analysis<\/strong><\/p>

Looking at the four-hour time frame, clear price range breakout has emerged for sterling, with the break happening above the 1.2200 level.<\/p>

Bearish divergence and a head and shoulders pattern is also seen. According to the overall size of the bearish pattern I would expect that we could soon see a 200-point breakout once we clearly move under the 1.2150 level.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

GBPUSD Medium-term Technical Analysis<\/strong><\/p>

According to the daily time frame it shows that that GBPUSD pair is starting to move towards a rising wedge pattern. If a break under the wedge happens then all hell could break loose.<\/p>

According to the technical analysis a break under 1.2000 and the long-term trend is once again bearish. As mentioned early, this is a very important wedge pattern, and a potential bearish development.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
