GBP/USD 4-hour chart indicates a medium-term bullish trend, with the pair currently trading at 1.35058 and testing a crucial ascending trendline that serves as dynamic support. Following a recent rejection at the immediate resistance level of 1.35850, the price has pulled back to this trendline, creating a pivotal decision zone while the RSI rests at a neutral 48.50.

Conversely, a hawkish Fed tone leading to a decisive breakdown below the ascending support would signal a deeper correction, bringing the next strong horizontal floor at 1.34200 firmly into play.
