GBP/USD chart on the hourly time frame

As we mentioned yesterday:
The pair has been moving within a symmetrical triangle since the beginning of the week, and we indicated two possibilities: a break of the upper line = a rise towards 1.3560 and then 1.3590 - a break of the lower line = a decline towards 1.3470 and then 1.3415.

What actually happened:
The price succeeded in breaking the upper line of the triangle - the first target of 1.3560 has been reached - the price is currently moving in a narrow range above this level, attempting to stabilize.

Current status:
MACD: Still weak below zero, but has begun to turn horizontal with a possible positive crossover - the price is showing a slowdown in upward momentum, but has not yet reversed.

Expectation:

• As long as the price remains above 1.3520, the possibility of a rise towards 1.3590 remains possible.
• A break of 1.3520 would return the price to test 1.3470, weakening the positive momentum.
