Immediate resistance is at $1.261. From a technical perspective, the current uptick in momentum could extend to a higher resistance level if bulls pull GBP/USD above this resistance. In this scenario, prices could test the 50.0% Fibonacci retracement level, the 1.265 mark, as resistance.

Traders and investors should monitor the 1.261 and 1.265 marks for bearish signals, such as candlestick patterns because they offer a decent and low-risk entry point into the downtrend.

Furthermore, the downtrend will likely resume if bears close and stabilize below $1.256. In this scenario, the next bearish target could be $1.249.

Please note that the bearish outlook should be invalidated if the GBP/USD prices exceed the critical resistance level of $1.273.
