GBPUSD - 4hr Timeframe - Some Needed Clarity

Short
OANDA:GBPUSD   British Pound / U.S. Dollar
The British pound is driving all of us traders a little crazy at the moment. The simple reason for this, is that at the moment it is not possible to forecast the next movements on the smaller timeframes because even the bigger picture remains undeciphered. In other words, in the daily and weekly timeframes, it remains unclear whether the pound will break the trend of the upside correction, or if it will have more movements to the upside in the coming months. Getting our feet back on the ground however, on the 4hr timeframe what is interesting is that the pair, following the highest high seems to be corrective in a leading diagonal pattern to downside (pink trend lines). Getting more into the detail, it seems that after the last impulsive movement to the downside, the pair has had a minute "abc" correction which could be about to be over soon. Should this be the case, the pair could drop fast to the downside, going for a bigger downwards correction on the daily timeframe.
Watch for small (60min) sell setups.
