In the Asian session, at GMT0300, the pair is trading at 1.353, with the GBP trading 0.07% higher against the USD from Friday’s close.

The pair is expected to find support at 1.3455, and a fall through could take it to the next support level of 1.3381. The pair is expected to find its first resistance at 1.3600, and a rise through could take it to the next resistance level of 1.3671.
