GBP/USD Technical Analysis: Bears strike back - Big wedge can send GBP/USD to 1.2700 figure

  • Bears are retaking control as the market failed to breakout above 1.2937 (August 22 swing high). 
  • The market is forming a wedge pattern and a double top by the same token (1.2337 resistance). If the bears are able to break below the bullish trendline the first target is located at 1.2800 followed by 1.2700 figure. 
  • A bull breakout above 1.2937 would invalidate the bearish bias.
