The British pound registered a volatile session against the dollar on Wednesday. The pair opened at 1.2448 and ended at 1.2432. The graphics continue to develop between moving average, while the index of relative strength remained on neutral territory. In the short term outlook remains neutral as overcoming the levels at 1.2516 or 1.2360 will determine prevailing attitudes.

GBP/USD is consolidating sideways above 1.2400 - 1.2410 and if it breaks out below that level it will likely continue falling.

Pound/Dollar tried to lift up in the end of the week, topped at 1.2539. Overall price is still in the downward phase after break below the bullish price channel, but has not yet managed to stay convincingly below EMA 200 and moves in the minor ascending channel. The outlook is neutral for now, perhaps with slight bullish signals for testing 1.2550. The nearest support is at 1.2475. A clear break below that area could trigger further downside pressure testing a key support 1.2375, which needs to be clearly pierced down for the continuation of the bearish scenario.

The GBPUSD goes back above the 1.2500 level but it is still consolidating between the 1.2400 and the 1.2600 levels.
The British pound was up against the US dollar on Friday. By the close of the US trading, GBP/USD is trading at 1.2550, gaining 0.65%. I believe that support is now at 1.2375, the minimum of Wednesday, and the resistance is likely to come in at 1.2618, the maximum of Monday.

GBP/USD bounced off from 1.2555 after forming a doji candlestick and a spinning top candlestick at that level on the four-hour time-frame. It's currently testing the support at 1.2470 and a breakout below that level will probably lead to a further drop towards the previous low at 1.2375.

The pound recorded a second consecutive loss against the dollar on Tuesday. The British currency continued negative momentum from the beginning of the week, but the decrease was not significant. If the bearish sentiment, however, become more intensive, the support at 1.2329 will be overcome soon. The session started at a price of 1.2484, while the pound lost 46 pips to the finish. The trend was volatile but ultimately the downward direction prevailed and the pair hit bottom at 1.2418.
