GBP/USD Chart Analysis Following a sharp decline, GBP/USD dropped to the 1.21000 level but rebounded strongly after confirming its bottom. However, it faced resistance at the 1.23000 level, giving back some of its gains, suggesting potential for further declines. The downside bias remains, with a possible test of the 1.20000 level. On the other hand, if GBP/USD breaks above the 1.23000 level, it could shift to an upward bias, potentially rising toward the 1.25000 level.
