- GBP/USD inched higher on Monday, as traders bought back the currency after it fell below $1.30 for the first time in a month on Friday.
- A weaker U.S. dollar also added to gains for the Sterling as the dollar slipped on jitters ahead of U.S. Federal Reserve monetary policy meeting.
- Currently, the pair is trading in overbought condition, a short rise towards 1.3100 should be viewed as selling opportunity.
- To the upside, the strong resistance can be seen at 1.3133, a break above this level would expose the cable to next resistance level at 1.3200.
- To the downside, immediate support can be seen at 1.3000, a break below at this level will open the door towards next level at 1.2923.
