The GBP/USD daily chart suggests further downside is seen unless buyers achieve a daily close above November’s 22 swing low of 1.2486. This would shift the bias to neutral-downwards and open the door to challenge the next key resistance at 1.2607, December’s 30 peak.
Conversely, if GBP/USD remains below 1.2500, the pair could consolidate within the 1.2480 – 1.2500 range before sellers push prices towards 1.2400.
