Technical market overview:

The GBP/USD pair is trading sideways between the levels of 1.3108 - 1.3012 as the battle of the longer-term trend line continues. Another BEarish Engulfing candlestick pattern was made recently, so it is clear the bears are trying the push the prices below the horizontal support at 1.3012 towards the key technical support located at the level of 1.2958. The market conditions are overbought, which should help to move prices lower. Momentum is not supporting as well as it baraly holds above the neutral level of 50.

The larger time frame trend is still down, so any spikes up should be treated as a local upward correction during the downtrend.
