GBP/USD Technical Analysis: Bears waiting near 1.31

The Sterling-Dollar pairing is looking for more bullish momentum despite the US Dollar's broad-market bull moves recently.
The GBP/USD remains trapped under July's peaks and the 200-day EMA, but bulls have managed to push the pair into a firm bullish correction, breaking above the 50-day EMA.
The 21, 50, and 200 day EMAs remain locked in a bearish setup, and short-sellers will likely be waiting just above.
