GBP/USD is consolidating above the support at 1.2760. A breakout below that level will likely lead to a further move to the downside towards the previous low at 1.2690.

Not only did GBP/USD reach 1.2960, but it broke out below that support and continued moving to the downside, reaching 1.2641. A breakout below that level and below 1.2634 could indicate a further move to the downside towards 1.2500.

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.

The British pound lost 107 pips against the dollar. The session was opened at 1.2736, and prior to noon the bulls scored their peak at 1.2757. This was the turning point of the day, as the bears broke the support at 1.2690, bottomed at 1.2602. At the end of the day 1 pound was exchanged for 1.2629 US dollars.
The British Pound attempted to offset the loss from the previous day by adding 43 pips to its asset against the dollar. The opening quote for the day was 1.2628, and before noon the bears recorded their bottom at 1.2589. There was a rapid response from the bulls and the course broke the resistance at 1.2690 to reach a peak of 1.2671. Bulls did not have the strength to keep the course over the resistance, and at the end of the day a pound was exchanged for 1.2671 US dollars.

GBP/USD bounced off from 1.2590, but considering the doji candlestick and the shooting star candlestck that it has formed on the four-hour time-frame at 1.2680 it may test the aforementioned support at 1.2590 once again.
The British pound was up against the US dollar on Friday. By the close of US trading, GBP/USD was trading at 1.2719, gaining 0.29%. I believe that support is now at the level of 1.2587, the minimum of Wednesday, and the resistance is likely at 1.2817, the maximum of Monday.
