Early in the American session, the British pound (GBP/USD) is trading around 1.2755 below the 21 SMA, showing exhaustion. Having touched the psychological level of 1.25 on December 13, the pound reached a high of 1.2793.

This strong move triggered by the policy announcements by the Federal Reserve could serve as an opportunity for the bears to resume selling only if the British pound consolidates below +1/8 Murray located at 1.2817.

According to the 1-hour chart, we can see that the British pound reached the overbought zone. So, a technical correction is expected below 1.28 or below the 21 SMA in the coming hours with the target of 8/8 Murray at 1.2695. If this level is broken, the insrument could reach the 200 EMA located at 1.2621.

Since December 14th, the eagle indicator has been giving an oversold signal and we are waiting for a technical correction of GBP/USD to sell. We can also see the formation of a reversal pattern called double top around 1.2793 which adds to the negative outlook for the pound in the coming hours.

In case the British pound makes a final attempt to continue rising, it is likely to reach the +1/8 Murray zone at 1.2817. If the price fails to consolidate above this zone, it will be seen as a sell signal with targets at 1.2695 and 1.2621.
