The GBPUSD broke its diamond top last week and the trend is down against 16076. The rarity and reliability of the diamond pattern makes the break especially bearish. Given the 3rd of a 3rd count from 16464, the first Fibonacci confluence is not until 14714/62. The reversal occurring at the 38.2% / Elliott channel resistance strongly favors the idea that the rally is a 4th wave. 15338 is where wave v (if it is a v) would equal wave i. Favor the downside.
