Chinkou Span line of Ichimoku indicator is crossing historical price on the open daily bar for now.

By the way, GBP/USD is still on bearish ranging zone for W1 and MN1 timeframes (it means - nothing seriously happened in the medium- and long-term situation).
There is the other way to estimate the market condition (using 200 SMA for example).
As we see from the chart below - the daily price reversed to the daily primary bullish market condition with the secondary ranging breaking 200 SMA few days ago from below to above, and the price is breaking 55 SMA for now to be totally reversed to the bullish area of the chart.
But if we look at weekly (W1) and monthly (MN) timeframes so we can see that nothing happened in medium-term and long-term situation: the price is still located in the bearish zone of the chart to be too far below from 200 SMA rmeversal line.
"Monthly GDP growth was negative 0.1% in March 2019, as the services and construction sectors contracted."
"The monthly growth rate for GDP is volatile and so it should be used with caution and alongside other measures, such as the three-month growth rate, when looking for an indicator of the longer-term trend of the economy. However, it is useful in highlighting one-off changes that can be masked by three-month growth rates."
GBP/USD - bearish breakdown; 1.28 is the key(based on the article)
