The British pound sterling managed to steadily rise towards the resistance level of 1.2643 on Thursday.
But price action failed to breakout any higher, leading to a bearish candlestick on the four-hour chart.
If this trend continues, we expect to see GBPUSD closing lower into the weekend.
The support area near 1.2516 remains the immediate downside target that might keep a hold on the declines for the moment.
