The upside move above the 1.2850 is lacking conviction and could soon start to stall. Overall, a confirmed bearish rejection back under the 1.2850 level could prompt a strong decline towards the 1.2720 support level.
• If the GBPUSD pair trades above the 1.2850 level, key resistance is found at the 1.2900 and 1.2920 levels.
• If the GBPUSD pair trades below the 1.2850 level, key support is found at the 1.2770 and 1.2720 levels.
