GBP/USD Technical Analysis: Cable finding some footing near the 1.3000 figure as bulls want a Friday rally

GBP/USD is trading in a bull trend above the 200-period simple moving average on the 4-hour chart.
GBP/USD lost some ground in the last three days as bulls are trying to limit losses at the 1.3000 figure and 50 SMA. The decline seems to have run out of steam for the time being and upside pressure above 1.3050 can be on the cards on the last trading day of the week.
A break below 1.3000 on a daily closing basis would see the bear trend resuming.
