Overall, GBP/USD is trending downwards. Recently, GBP/USD tested and failed to break above the key level of 1.29.
Yesterday, UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson won the tabling of the Internal Market Bill in the Parliament, leading to a weakening in GBP after a brief rally before Johnson's victory. The next checkpoint for Johnson will be next week where the MPs will be voting on the amendment that would allow the House of Commons to decide whether to carry out the bill to override the Brexit Withdrawal Agreement.
The UK employment data will be released later at 1400 (SGT).
Look for short-term selling opportunities if GBP/USD breaks the support zone of 1.28000.
