The pound recorded another neutral session against the dollar on Wednesday. The pair continues to fluctuate around the levels it reached in the middle of last week. It is expected soon that the British currency will prevail and the resistance at 1.2901 will be pierced. Trading on Wednesday was open at a 1.2840, and the trend was neutral almost all the time. A weak bullish momentum was noticed in the afternoon when the pair reached a peak at 1.2862, but the pound quickly lost the lead.

I agree. The retracement could continue back to 1.2890 - 1.2880, or even lower than that, but the trend remains bullish for now.

The GBP/USD keeps its bullish trend, even though it has pulled back to the 1.2900 level, which could act as support. The pair may still try to go and visit the 1.3000 level or maybe try to break the 1.2900 to the downside to go and visit the 1.2800 level.

GBP/USD retraced back to 1.2860 and bounced off from that level after forming an inverted hammer candlestick on the one-hour time-frame. It is moving to the upside again and it will likely test the previous high at 1.2965.

The GBPUSD keeps its bullish trend on the daily chart and takes off from the 1.2900 level, maybe trying to reach the 1.3000 level where it may stall temporarily.
The British pound was up against the US dollar on Friday. By the close of US trading, GBP/USD was trading at 1.2980, gaining 0.45%.
I believe that support is now at around 1.2829, Thursday's low, and resistance is likely at 1.2976, the high of Friday's trading.
