4h
As seen on the 4-hour chart, the GBP/USD pair resumed the growth process and closed above the Fibo level of 76.4% (1.3094).

The closure of the pair below the Fibo level of 76.4% can be interpreted as a reversal in favor of the US currency and expect some fall in the direction of the retracement level OF 61.8% (1.2969).

As seen on the hourly chart, the GBP/USD pair has achieved significant growth and closure above the retracement level of 76.4% (1.3117). However, the pair also performed a reversal in favor of the US dollar on this chart and a return to the Fibo level of 76.4%. The retreat of quotations from this level of correction will allow traders to count on a reversal in favor of the British pound and the resumption of the growth process in the direction of the retracement level of 100.0% (1.3195). Consolidation under the Fibo level of 76.4% will increase the chances of a further fall in the direction of the retracement level of 61.8% (1.3069).
