GBP/USD 30-minute chart

 
 
GBP/USD is challenging the 200 SMA, suggesting a pullback down in the near term. If bears can break 1.2881, then the market could have a drop towards the 1.2814 level, according to the Technical Confluences Indicator.  
 
On the flip side, if the spot regains the 1.2950 resistance, it can open the doors to a retest of the 1.3000 handle.
