Looking at GBPUSD on the 1H chart, it can be seen that price has currently rebounded from a recent high made on the 1H on Friday 25th January from around 1.32175. From here there has been a bearish candle, showing room for some downside, after the bullish rally for the GBP following some news on Brexit, which was positive for the GBP.

In terms of a technical structure for GBPUSD, it is currently in a upwards parallel channel, which it could potentially break out of. If it does, this could leave it to melt down towards the regions highlighted on the 1H chart.

Moreover, looking at the RSI on the 1H, 4H and 1D, it shows that GBPUSD is currently overbought, moreover showing room for some downside.

Potential Scenarios that could occur include:
- Scenario 1: Break out of the upwards parallel channel. Price should then look to first head towards 1.30900. It could then rebound off this point and start another bull run.
- Scenario 2: Break out of the upwards parallel channel. Price should then look to first head towards 1.30900. It then tests this level and breaks through further, melting down towards 1.30410 (around this region in price). From here there could be a rebound to the upside.
- Scenario 3: Price may still look to remain in the upwards parallel structure and not go down whatsoever. This could be unlikely due to the sharp strengthening in the GBP recently over the last week, which should mean there should be a slight pullback.

2nd Downside Target missed by 15 PIPS!
Nonetheless, TRADE CLOSED!

This idea took slightly longer than expected due to everyday news headlines on Brexit to act straight towards the downside.
