The pair is posting more declines below the 1.3000 psychological level, and we can see further weakness toward the support level of 1.2798. The 200 SMA on the H1 chart is pointing to the downside and it can put pressure on GBP/USD. However, if we see a rebound, then the next hurdle will be the 1.2950 level.
