"And with the U.K. elections over, attention will shift back towards fundamentals and Bank of England policy and whether it can head towards hiking rates."

Pair's Outlook
Last Friday, the Sterling extended its rally against the US Dollar for the fourth consecutive day. Even though GBP/USD stretched as far as 1.5522, 200-day SMA was able to provide resistance and force the Cable to close at 1.5415. Technical indicators retain bullish signals, suggesting the pair is to rise again today. 200-day acts as the closest resistance, as it has prevented Pound from surging several times in the past three weeks and might do so again today. As a result, we should not rule out a slump towards 1.5350 (weekly PP).
