GBPUSD traded sharply lower Monday as the USD strengthened and Brexit related matters weighed on sentiment. The pair recovered though off 1.3188. The sharp sell-off from last week's 1.3264 high on Dec 17 brings into focus key support at 1.3135, Dec 11 low. A break of this level would undermine the recent uptrend and signal scope for a deeper pullback. Cable is likely to remain volatile, initial resistance is seen at 1.3503, Dec 21 high.
