For now GBP/USD remains very bearish and it will likely test once again the last low it reached after the election at 1.2634.

GBP/USD did retest the support at 1.2634 and formed a double bottom at that level before bouncing off from it. Next target is likely at 1.2750 - 1.2760.

The British pound recorded a volatile session against the US dollar on Thursday. The currency pair opened at 1.2750 and added only 4 pips. Daily extreme values were reached at 1.2690 and 1.2794 respectively. The outlook remains neutral, with the 1.2700 and 1.3090 levels retaining a key role in the short term.
Pound / dollar had another unsettling movement yesterday. Trade signals remain neutral in the near future. The upcoming pin bar, which appeared on June 9, remains valid, but a clear break above 1.2780 is needed to confirm the bullish scenario with targets to 1.2900 - 1.3000 / 50. Immediate support is seen at 1.2725, whose breakthrough can lead to future downward pressure. But only a clear break below 1.2634 will cancel the upside-down scenario on the pin bar, with the first downside target in the 1.2500 area.

The GBPUSD is still having trouble breaking above the 1.2800 level, but a breakout of that zone may take the pair to the 1.2900 zone. The lows at the 1.2634 zone may still act as support.
The British pound was up against the US dollar on Friday. By the close of US trading, GBP/USD was trading at 1.2782, adding 0.20%. I believe that support is now at around 1.2636, Monday's low, and resistance is likely at 1.2818, the maximum of Wednesday.
