Yesterday (May 31), the GBP/USD fell to within 1 pip of our ‘strong support’ at 1.2560 (low 1.2561) before recovering.Although there is no clear break of our ‘strong support’ level, the bullish momentum has dissipated from here GBP/USD is likely to consolidate and trade between 1.2530 and 1.2670 for several days before retrying to 1.2700.”
