GBP/USD 30-minute chart

 
 
GBP/USD is challenging the 1.2935 support. If the sellers can break 1.2881 support, the market could have a spike down towards the 1.2814 level, according to the Technical Confluences Indicator.  
 
On the flip side, a break above 1.2950 resistance can open the doors to a retest of the 1.3000 handle.
