GBP/USD has met fresh bearish pressure in the second half of the day on Friday and declined below 1.2350. Although the greenback weakened with the initial reaction to the US April jobs report, it managed to erase its losses amid the souring market mood.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) indicator on the four-hour chart stays near 40, confirming the view that sellers remain in control of the pair's action. On the upside, 1.2400 (psychological level) aligns as the next resistance before 1.2430 (static level, former support) and 1.2460 (20-period SMA).
In case safe-haven flows start dominating the markets in the second half of the day, the pair could test 1.2300 (psychological level) and extend its slide toward 1.2275 (daily low) and 1.2250 (static level coming from June 2020).
