GBP/USD down 0.06% after reaching a three-week high of 1.2634. RSI flattening suggests normalization of buying pressure. Support levels at 1.2500, 1.2474, and 1.2466; breach may test 1.2400. Resistance at 200-DMA, 1.2600, and DMAs at 1.2612 and 1.2644. However, buyers lacked the strength to keep prices above 1.2600, opening the door for a test of the 200-day moving average .

A drop below that level would expose the May 2 low at 1.2474, ahead of the latest pivot low at 1.2466. Once those two levels are surpassed, up next would be the 1.2400 psychological level. Conversely, if buyers moved in, the first resistance would be the 200-DMA at 1.2548. Further upside is seen at 1.2600, followed by the 50 and 100-DMAs, each at 1.2612 and 1.2644, respectively.
