GBPUSD retained a sell-on-rallies theme into the Wednesday close. The pullback from 1.2545, Jun 2 high, highlights a bearish threat and this level represents a key short-term resistance. Note that, despite a brief test above it last week, 61.8% of the May 10 - 25 downleg at 1.2538 remains intact - an important resistance. A continuation lower would open 1.2308, May 25 low and key support. Clearance of 1.2545 would reinstate the recent bull cycle.
