GBP/USD is climbing after forming several spinning top bars on the four hour time frame and rebounding from the support at 1.2380 and under different circumstances I would've opened a long position, but with the US elections looming on the horizon I think I will refrain from any kind of trading.
On Wednesday, the dollar strengthend growth relative to other currencies as the US currency recovered from losses incurred on the background of the shocking news of the victory of Donald Trump in the presidential elections in the United States. GBP/USD rose by 0.32% to 1.2417, falling from a one-month high at 1.2548, reached earlier.
The British Pound was up against the US Dollar on Friday. By the close of US trading GBP/USD was trading at 1.2599, gaining 0.40%. I believe that the support is now located at the level of 1.2349, Wednesday's low and resistance is likely at the level of 1.2674 - the maximum of Friday's trading.
The British pound record third consecutive day of gains against the dollar on Friday and second positive week. The price climbed by 45 pips for the day to 1.2597. The daily limit values were reached respectively at 1.2672 and 1.2524. RSI develops in positive territory as the price remains above the rising moving averages, supporting positive attitudes.
Pound / dollar last week continued its upward movement, formed a peak of 1.2673 but closed lower at 1.2597 and hit 1.2491 earlier today. Trade signals are neutral, but as long as price remains above 1.2330, the pair is still in bullish phase as part of the bullish scenario of the formation hammer (daily chart) with goals in the region of 1.2790. First support is 1.2450. Intraday resistance at 1.2600 followed by 1.2650.
The British pound erased some of its gains last week on Monday. GBP/USD broke three-day winning streak yesterday, reporting a drop of 88 pips to 1.2485. The pair traded within the extreme values 1.2591 and 1.2443. Despite the decline, the bulls remain in the leading position. Break 50-period average, however, will test their capacity by a further test of 1.2350.

GBP/USD bounced off the support at 1.2420 which coincides with the (MA)89 indicator on the four-hour time-frame after forming spinning top bars above that level on both the daily and four-hour time frames. Next target is likely at 1.2600.

The GBPUSD stalls at the moment, but it may fall to the 1.2200 level.
On Thursday, the dollar was almost unchanged at 14-year peak against other major rivals amid lingering optimism over the US economy, while trade volumes remained fragile due to Thanksgiving. GBP/USD is stable at 1.2447. Nearest levels of support and resistance are respectivly at 1.2320 and 1.2500.
