  • The previous twenty-four hours of trading activity saw the GBP/USD take a spike into the 1.3100 technical handle last Friday, but ongoing Brexit concerns has investors cautious, and the Cable is continuing to trade close to 1.3070 as buyers await signs of concrete improvement.
  • Bulls aren't ready to call it quits quite yet on the new trading week, and the GBP/USD's rising intraday trendline is holding from the day's swing low into 1.3050.
