24 hour view: Although GBP/USD rallied to a high of 1.2739 yesterday, there was no significant increase in bullish momentum. That being said, there is a chance GBP/USD will test 1.2755 before the risk of a pullback increases. The main resistance at 1.2800 is not expected to be threatened. Support is at 1.2695, followed by 1.2670.

Next 1-3 weeks: After falling to 1.2591 last Friday, GBP/USD has rebounded strongly in recent days. The recent buildup of bearish momentum has faded. The current price movement is likely to be part of a consolidation phase. For now, we expect GBP/USD to trade in a 1.2630/1.2800 range.
