GBP/USD four-hour chart

GBP/USD is correcting below the 1.2882/1.2900 resistance zone and the 50/100 SMAs. Buyers would need to overcome this area on a daily basis in order to reclaim the 1.2950 resistance, according to the Technical Confluences Indicator.

GBP/USD 30-minute chart

The Sterling is trading above downward sloping SMAs, suggesting a potential bullish attack in the near term. However, it seems more likely that the market continues to drift lower towards the 1.2835 and 1.2795 support levels, according to the Technical Confluences Indicator.
