GBP/USD: Navigating Sideways Structure for a Potential Short Opportunity

Market Overview and Technical Rationale

The GBP/USD pair is currently trading at 1.26613, showing a modest 0.09% gain over the last 24 hours. The market has been exhibiting a distinct sideways trend, with price action contained within the daily range of 1.26444 and 1.26782. I observe a clear resistance level at 1.2678, which aligns closely with the recent daily high. While the pair has found some intermittent support at 1.2644, the broader consolidation suggests a lack of strong directional conviction. My analysis
