The GBPUSD is in a bullish channel and the 55 day EMA (purple line) is showing a good angle of inclination which is a sign of a strong trend, but at the moment it is trying to consolidate between the 1.2900 and the 1.3000 levels.

GBP/USD bounced off from 1.2988 after forming a shooting star candlestick at that level on the four-hour time-frame as well as a double top, also at that level. The pair is testing the support at 1.2850 and a breakout below that level will likely lead to a further move to the downside towards 1.2800.
 
Gbp/Usd bearish consolidation movement capped under 1.29 level, the pair needs clear breakout of 1.3000 level to confirm further gains, on the downside support zone are around 1.2830/20.
 
Initial sales on Thursday clearly showed a negative attitude on the part of market participants regarding the GBPUSD currency pair. This, however, was followed by a sharp and rapid change in sentiment, which triggered the price over the 13-year moving average.
The bounce was strong, although the "cable" managed to correct only half of the downward movement from the previous day. The upward momentum remains up to date, indicating that the price has the potential to realize another ascending impulse.
 
The British pound was up against the US dollar on Friday. By the close of US trading, GBP/USD was trading at 1.2889, gaining 0.02%. I believe that support is now at around 1.2845, the low of today's trading, and resistance is likely to come in at 1.2992, Monday's high.
 
GBPUSD - Buy at 1.2887
BASIC PARAMETERS

• Entry: 1.2887 (per market)
• Stop: 1.2850
• Limit: 1.2966
 
My mistake: wrong currency :D
Key levels to watch for:
Support: 1.2700; 1.2516; 1.2360;
Resistance: 1.3090; 1.3270.
 
The pair has no enough directional strength, any further gain would require break above the immediate resistance level around 1.2920/30.
