The GBP/USD currency pair reversed in favor of the British currency as shown on the 4-hour chart. It started to grow in the direction of the correction level of 200.0% at 1.3047. Passing the last low divergence of the pair will work in favor of the US currency and the resumption of a fall towards the Fibo level of 261.8% at 1.2638. The consolidation of the British pound major pair rate under the correction level of 261.8% will increase the probability of the decline to continue towards the correction level of 323.6% at 1.2230.
