Looking ahead, GBPUSD looks bullish as the pair ended higher after Friday trading session.
For the new week, our technical outlook looks bullish, immediate upside resistance level at 1.31 (WR1) with break above could target 1.31 (WR2). On the downside, we are looking at week low of 1.28 as an important support. Break below this level could weaken the current bullish momentum. A break above 1.30 would suggest bullish bias after recent positive movement.
For the month of July, GBPUSD is up by 2.66% or 336.3 pips higher.
