The GBPUSD currency pair broke above the resistance trend line (dotted red) for a bullish breakout, but the price is now struggling at the Fibonacci retracement levels of wave 2 vs 1. Whether the price manages to break or bounce depends on the candlestick patterns, and whether the price will break above the 100% Fib (invalidates wave 2) or below the support trend line (confirms wave 2).
