GBPUSD traded higher Monday extending the bounce from last Wednesday's 1.0924 low. The recent move lower between Oct 5 - 12 appears to have been a correction. A continuation higher would signal scope for a test and possible breach of 1.1495, the Oct 5 high and bull trigger. Clearance of this level would strengthen bullish conditions. On the downside, key short-term support has been defined at 1.0924, the Oct 12 low.
