- GBP/USD seems poised to extend its corrective advance in the near-term.
The GBP/USD pair trades near a daily high of 1.3934, recovering from a fresh monthly low of 1.3785. The pound rallied despite comments from UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson, who said that cases of the coronavirus Delta variant are still going up, adding that they need to be cautious on easing restrictions. He added that data is looking good ahead of the July 19 deadline, although noting that traveling will be “difficult.”
The UK published the June Rightmove House Price Index, which was up by 7.5% YoY. On Tuesday, the country will publish May Public Sector Net Borrowing, previously at £30.962 billion. The main event this week will be the Bank of England monetary policy meeting next Thursday.

In the 4-hour chart, the pair is above a bearish 20 SMA, while the Momentum indicator advances within neutral levels. The RSI indicator, however, is flat at around 48. Bulls could have better chances once above 1.3960, the immediate resistance level.
