GBP/USD well supported around 1.3050
Cable‘s rejection from 1.3200 and above met strong support in the mid-1.1300s, where sits the 200-day SMA. Friday’s test ad rebound from 1.3050 was amidst increasing volume and a small up tick in open interest, leaving the door open for extra consolidation while another leg lower is not ruled out.
