US economy has added only 157000 jobs for the month of Jul compared to forecast of 193000 and unemployment rate declines below 4% and wage growth are steady at 2.7%.. But upward revision 248000 shows that labor market is growing at stronger pace. GBPUSD has shown a minor jump after slightly weaker than expected US non farm payroll.
 

On the lower side , near term support is around 1.2950 and any break below will drag the pair to next level till 1.2900/1.2800.

Any minor bullishness can be seen only above 1.3130 and any break above will take the pair to next level till 1.3180/1.3230.The minor resistance is around 1.3050/1.3100.
