GBP/USD short-term view

Below the weekly S1 simple pivot point, there is no technical support as low as the 1.2300 mark and the weekly S2 simple pivot point at 1.2304. Further below, the weekly S3 could slow down the rate at 1.2218. However, note the April low level zone at 1.2345/1.2350.

On the other hand, a potential recovery of the Pound against the US Dollar might encounter resistance in the 1.2390/1.2395 range. Higher above, note the combination of the 50 and 100-hour simple moving averages near 1.2440, the weekly simple pivot point at 1.2459 and the resistance zone at 1.2470/1.2480. In addition, the 200-hour SMA has approached the resistance zone.
