Very good move last week. I'm expecting the upside trend to continue in the next.
On Tuesday, the pound-dollar currency pair lost 40 pips of its value. The day was opened at a price of 1.3001 and began with the prevailing power of the bears. Just before noon, they recorded a bottom of 1.2953. The next few hours were volatile for the currency pair. The bulls managed to make a bigger move, breaking the resistance at 1.3030 and recording a peak of 1.3032, but at the end of the day the quote stayed away from these values at a price of 1.2961.
Pound / dollar attempted to decrease yesterday, reaching bottom at 1.2926, but closed higher at 1.2975. The couple adhered to the trendline of support. The signals are neutral, possibly with light bullish signals for testing the key resistance 1.3050, which should be clearly pierced for the sequel to the bullish scenario. Intraday support we have at 1.2930 / 25. A clear breakthrough below this zone may cause further bearings to test for 1.2880.

GBP/USD is stuck in a wide range between 1.3050 and 1.2925. So far there is no indication for a breakout, but the target to the downside should the pair fall below 1.2925 is likely 1.2850.

Good move last week. I expect a change in trend for the short-term.
The British pound was down against the US dollar on Friday. By the close of US trading, GBP / USD was trading at 1.2804, losing 1.07%. I believe that support is now at around 1.2776, the low of Friday's trading, and the resistance is likely at 1.3044, Monday's high.
I agree with you, risk remains on the downside.

GBP/USD fell all the way to 1.2775 before it finally bounced off from that support after forming a hammer candlestick on the one-hour time-frame. Currently the pair is retracing and it will likely reach 1.2890 - 1.2900.
Pound / Dollar attempted to rise up yesterday, reaching a peak of 1.2850, but traded down earlier this morning, sliding below 1.2800. Expectations remain downside to testing support 1.2780, which is a good long-range area with narrow loss stops. A clear break below this level can clear the way down to 1.2700 - 1.2670 or lower. The first resistance is at 1.2850, whose breakthrough can take the price to a neutral zone with testing at 1.2900 / 25.
The British pound recorded a volatile session against the US dollar on Tuesday. The currency pair added only 20 pips at a closing price of 1.2857. Daytime extreme values were reached at 1.2793 and 1.2887 respectively. If the bearish trend of the last few sessions continues, we can expect a first support test at 1.2700.

GBP/USD relatively unchanged after the NFP and Jobs report. Dollar index, however, down significantly.

GBP/USD moved to the upside again today and reached a new high at 1.2940 before it bounced off that level. Should it break out above that high it could continue rallying towards 1.3000.
I agree with your point, with UK election today, the result and market reaction towards it are unpredictable. I would be very cautions.

GBP/USD is testing the support at 1.2920 and a breakout below that level is quite possible, but nothing is certain until the results of the general election in the UK come out later today.
The pound-dollar currency pair opened the day at 1.2907 on Wednesday, and by the end of the session the British currency added another 50 pips to its asset. No breakthroughs at key levels were reached. Before noon the bears reached their bottom at 1.2887. The next hour of the course gradually rose to reach a peak at 1.2965.
