- GBP/USD started the week by attempting to breakout above last Friday’s high without any success yet. Cable is currently in a 40-pip range near the 1.3120 level.
- GBP/USD received a considerable boost at the end of last week and bulls will try to build on the current momentum. On the other hand, bears are seeing this pullback as a bargain to short from higher prices relative to the 2018 low at 1.2957
- Cable bulls objective is to breakout above 1.3155 while bears want a resumption of the main bear trend. As of writing, the bullish correction is slowly losing steam and a bearish breakout below 1.3100 could open the gates to 1.3049.
