The Bernoulli equation (for incompressible fluids) says that the sum of the
kinetic energy density, the gravitational potential energy density, and the
pressure is constant along a streamline so that if the speed DECREASES from
point A to point B along a horizontal streamline, the pressure must be HIGHER
at point B than at point A.
But in the rest frame of the fluid at point A, the speed is zero at point A
and, thus, necessarily is higher at point B so that, in THAT frame, the
pressure must be LOWER at point B than at point A.
What's up with that?
