|GBP/USD Price Analysis: Bounces off monthly support to defend 1.3800
GBP/USD pokes intraday high of 1.3835, up 0.05% intraday during the subdued Asian session on Friday.
In doing so, the cable pair pares Thursday’s losses following its bounce off a two-week-old horizontal support zone surrounding the 1.3800 threshold.
Even so, MACD conditions aren’t favorable to the pair’s further upside, which in turn suggests fresh pullback from nearby resistances, namely 1.3875-80 and the 1.3900 round figure.
