On the daily chart, GBP/USD did a breakout below the support level of 1.5543 and 200 SMA, a move which is currently giving momentum to the bears in order to consolidate, for at least in the mid-term. The support zone of 1.5450 could be tested again and if a breakout happens there, it would be expected to fall until the level of 1.5358.

The short term outlook is turning lower now, as the pair is consolidating below the 200 SMA on the H1 chart with a bearish pattern. If GBP/USD does a breakout on the support level of 1.5484, it could fall to the level of 1.5411 in coming hours. However, a rebound could happen at current levels, pointing to a test of the 200 SMA.

Daily chart's resistance levels: 1.5543 / 1.5640
