4h
The GBP / USD pair on the 4-hour chart made a rebound from the Fibo level of 61.8% - 1.2969, started the growth of quotations and executed a close above the correction level of 76.4% - 1.3094. As a result, on February 26, the pair continues to grow in the direction of the next correction level of 100.0% - 1.3300. A bearish divergence is at the MACD indicator: the last peak of quotes has already exceeded the previous one, which does not correspond to the indicator peaks. The formation of a bearish divergence will allow us to expect a reversal in favor of the US dollar and a slight decline in the pair. Closing quotes below the Fibo level of 76.4% will similarly work in favor of the US currency.
The Fibo grid is built on extremums from September 20, 2018, and January 3, 2019.
