As seen on the hourly chart, the GBP/USD pair closed below the Fibo level of 23.6% (1.3045) and returned to it, however, on April 18, the bearish divergence of the CCI indicator is brewing, which allows us to expect a reversal in favor of the American currency and the resumption of the fall in retracement of 0.0% (1.2976). On the other hand, the closure of the pair above the level of 23.6% allows us to expect some growth. As a result, confirmation of the beginning of the fall can be considered closing of quotations below the Fibo level of 23.6%.

The Fib grid is built on extremes from March 27, 2019, and March 29, 2019.

Buy deals on GBP/USD pair can be opened with the target at 1.3088 and the stop loss order under retracement level of 23.6% if the current emerging bearish divergence is canceled (hourly chart).
