GBP/USD Technical Analysis: Drifting towards an important ascending trend-line support

   •  The pair stalled its recent upsurge to six-week tops and started retreating from an important confluence region, comprising of 100-day SMA and a short-term ascending trend-line on the 1-hourly chart.

   •  The corrective fall has now dragged the pair back towards another ascending trend-line support, which has been acting as an important support over the past two weeks or so.

   •  A combination of two converging ascending trend-lines constituted towards the formation of a bearish ‘Rising Wedge’ chart pattern, indicating that the recent bullish momentum might have already ended.

   •  A convincing break through the mentioned support, leading to a subsequent weakness below 100-hour SMA will reinforce the bearish formation and prompt some aggressive long-unwinding trade.
