In the 4-hour timeframe, GBP/USD appears to be favoring a short-term selling position following the completion of Elliott Wave's C point and a breakout below the ascending trendline. The price is currently forming an Elliott Wave pattern with waves 1 to 4 complete, featuring a 50% retracement. With the price now moving towards the 5th wave, traders may consider shorting opportunities to capitalize on the anticipated continuation of the downtrend.
