FXStreet (Mumbai) - The GBP/USD pair strengthened to a high of 1.5371 ahead of the data in the UK, which could show the services activity expanded at a slightly slower pace in May.

GBP/USD supported by 1.5330-1.5336

The pair ran into fresh bids at the support of 1.5330 (100% Fib expansion of 1.5813-1.5445-1.5698) and 1.5336 (38.2% Fib R of 1.4564-1.5813). The pair rose sharply in the previous session after the markets sold USD across the board, tracking the sharp rise in the EUR/USD pair over and above 1.11 levels.
