The pound sterling has been trading flat over the past few days. The Brexit narrative has taken a backseat, especially in light of the US-China trade war.

Upside Bias is Building Up in GBP/USD
GBPUSD could be seen building an upside bias. This comes as the recent consolidation near the lows has formed a wedge pattern. A breakout to the upside from this consolidation pattern could signal further gains. The pair could be looking to correcting towards 1.2400 level at the very least. A close below 1.2126 will, of course, invalidate the upside bias.
