GBP/USD Technical Analysis: post-UK jobs uptick fails ahead of descending channel resistance

   •  The UK jobs data-led positive momentum stalls ahead of a resistance marked by short-term descending trend-channel formation on 1-hourly charts.
   •  Brexit uncertainty seemed to cap additional gains, with a follow-through retracement below 50-hour SMA now opening room for a retest of the trend-channel support near the 1.3330 region. 
   •  Short-term technical indicators also failed to move in bullish territory and further add credence to the negative short-term outlook.
