Daily chart: The GBP/USD has touched the support level of 1.6851, where it is very likely that this pair begin to form a bearish pattern since the GBP/USD has been oversold in recent days, after a prolonged bearish trend started from the resistance level of 1.7169. If the pair manages to make a breakout at the 1.6851 level, it's expected to fall to the level of 1.6766. The MACD indicator is in negative territory.

H4 chart: The GBP/USD is trying to form a bearish pattern below the resistance level of 1.6900. If this pair does consolidate below the 1.6820 level, it's expected to fall to the support level of 1.6762. However, if the GBP/USD manages to make a breakout at the 1.6920 level, it's expected to rise to the level of 1.7000. The MACD indicator is entering neutral territory.

H1 chart: This pair has made a breakout level of 1.6900, so the GBP/USD is trying to consolidate below the support level of 1.6850. If successful, it is expected to fall to the 1.6800 level in the medium term. For now, the GBP/USD is very strong in the bearish trend. The MACD indicator is in positive territory.

Trading recommendations for today: Based on the H1 chart, place sell (short) orders only if the GBP/USD pair breaks a bearish candlestick; the support level is at 1.6850, take profit is at 1.6800, and stop loss is at 1.6900.
