The British pound is slipping lower against the US dollar on Monday after buyers failed to move price above the psychological 1.3000 resistance level. Traders now await the releases of important data from the UK economy this morning, with quarterly GDP data likely to move the GBPUSD pair. Sustained weakness below the 1.2890 level will likely provoke a further technical test of the 1.2850 support area.
The GBPUSD pair is only bearish while trading below the 1.3000 level, key technical support is found at the 1.2890 and 1.2850 levels
If the GBPUSD pair trades above the 1.3000 level, key resistance is found at the 1.3055 and 1.3095 levels.
