Despite relatively low volatility sellers managed to push the GBPUSD pair below major support at 1.2150, which is marked with previous price reactions and lower limit of the ascending channel. If bears manage to uphold current momentum, downward move may accelerate towards psychological support at 1.2000, which coincides with 200 SMA (red line). On the other hand, if buyers manage to take control, then another upward impulse towards local resistance at 1.2355 may be launched.
