GBP/CAD Daily Chart
GBP/CAD will probably respect the borders of the pattern and continue rising in line with the medium and long-term bull trend. The short-term trend is less clear and could be classed more specifically as sideways.
A decisive break below the lower trendline of the Rising Wedge would probably signal the start of a steeper descent. Such a breakout lower would be confirmed by a close below 1.7700, and would probably result in a move down to support at the 200-day SMA at around 1.7445.
