GBPUSD resistance test ahead of UK employment data, BoE speech

The GBPUSD currency pair price action sentiment appears bearish, supported by the longer-term prevailing downtrend.

The key trading level is at 1.2600, the current swing high. A bearish rejection from the 1.2600 level could target the downside support at 1.2517 followed by 1.2400 and 1.2330 levels over the longer timeframe.

Alternatively, a confirmed breakout above 1.2600 resistance and a daily close above that level would negate the bearish outlook opening the way for further rallies higher and a retest of 1.2650 resistance level followed by 1.2700.
