Daily analysis of GBP/USD for October 13, 2015

On the daily chart, we should note the Monday session was a slow one because of the holidays in most of European countries and the US. GBP/USD has been trading below the resistance zone of 1.5381. Watch for a breakout higher during this week, in order to test the next interest level around 1.5439.

The pair continues to perform pullbacks after the opening bell and this should be an indicator of possible corrections, which could be extended towards the support level of 1.5285 where the 200 SMA is located. Over that zone, we can expect a rebound because of a bullish reaction.
