The GBP/USD, good technical round number levels

I agree, the pair is still holding well within positive territory while it has temporarily lost its upward strength, bouncing around 1.238 level. 1.2400 level act as important resistance level.
Yesterday the dollar lost 114 pips against the British pound. Opening rate of the day was 1.2358, and the day began with a slight preponderance of bulls before the bears to take the bottom level of 1.2340. This forced bull market players and in the next hour first resistance level of 1.2420 was breached. High of the day was recorded at exchange rate 1.2494. At the end of session one British pound was traded for 1.2472 dollars.
Pound/dollar had a bullish momentum yesterday, formed a peak of 1.2493. Commercial bias remains bullish for now to test 1.2570 as part of the bullish scenario after the rebound of a triple bottom near 1.2135/08. Intraday support at 1.2440 is seen. A clear break below that could bring price to neutral zone for testing 1.2390. The longer, however, the price holds above 1.2300, I prefer bullish scenario at this stage, and any downside pullback should be seen as a good opportunity to buy.
GBP/USD registered a volatile session on Wednesday. The pound has won 6 pips to an asset. The opening rate was 1.2473 and during the day there were numerous fluctuations in the currency pair. In the first hours of the new day, there was a slight majority of the bulls and they successfully took a peak at a level of 1.2505. There was awakening in bearish players and consequently the course reached the bottom at a rate of 1.2423 or just 3 pips from the first support. Eventually a British pound was worth 1.2479 against the US dollar.

GBP/USD continues moving to the upside despite the doji candlestick on the daily time-frame at the resistance at 1.2500. The closest target is likely at 1.2550.

The pair bounced off from 1.2530 after forming a doji candlestick and a shooting star candlestick at that level on the four-hour time-frame, it will likely retrace back to 1.2440 - 1.2430.

A big bearish black candle has formed. Prices closed considerably lower than open. If the candle appears when prices are "high," it may be the first sign of a top. If it occurs when prices are confronting an overhead resistance area, a moving average, trend line, or price resistance level, the long black candle adds credibility to the resistance. Likewise, if the candle appears as prices break below a support area, the long black candle confirms the failure of the support area.
