Monday, September 5, 2016 3:26 PM UTC
- The GBP/USD pair jumped up towards 1.3372 after data showed Britain's services industry bounced back strongly in August from a slump triggered by June's vote to leave the European Union.
- However, the pair reversed course in quick succession as sterling ran out of strengthens against dollar.
- Further downside is expected to be limited as the pair finds strong support at 1.3222 which should limit downside and bring a rebound back towards higher levels.
- To the upside, the strong resistance can be seen at 1.3420, a break above this level would take the pair towards next resistance level at 1.3481.
- To the downside, immediate support can be seen at 1.3285 levels, a break below this level will open the door towards next level at 1.3222.
