GBP/USD four-hour chart
GBP/USD correction down is approaching the 1.2400 figure while the spot is trading below the 50/100 SMAs but still above the 200 SMA on the four-hour chart. The bulls will attempt to support the market near current levels in order to regain the 1.2500 figure one more time. However, a daily close below the 1.2400 figure can lead to further weakness towards the 1.2300 level. Resistance should emerge near the 1.2500 figure.

Support: 1.2400, 1.2300, 1.2165
