Breakdown Play on the GBPUSD

Short
FX:GBPUSD   British Pound / U.S. Dollar
The price action of the GBPUSD recently broke down below the lower limit of the ascending channel, which signifies the likely beginning of a new downtrend. Afterwards, it rebounded from the 23.6 per cent Fibonacci retracement level at 1.37347 and established a throwback to the channel from below. This behaviour of the price action corroborates the expectations of a trend reversal.

Presently, the price action is probing the 38.2 per cent Fibonacci at 1.36727, which converges with the 200-day MA (in orange). If it manages to penetrate below the two, the price action would then likely head towards the 61.8 per cent Fibonacci at 1.35724.

Conversely, a rebound from the 38.2 per cent Fibonacci would likely be followed by a throwback to the 23.6 per cent Fibonacci from below before the broader downtrend can be resumed.
