GBP/USD Technical Analysis: Down Trend Ready to Resume?

GBP/USD Technical AnalysisPrices are showing a bearish Evening Star candlestick pattern below resistance at 1.5392, the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement, hinting a reversal lower may be ahead. Confirmation requires a daily close below initial support at 1.5281, the 50% level, a move that would expose the 38.2% Fib at 1.5171 as the next downside objective. Alternatively, a move above resistance eyes the 76.4% retracement at 1.5529.
