GBP/USD plunged today after reaching a new higher high or 1.4250 level. The rate dropped as the DXY rebounded. Unfortunately, the pair was rejected by a strong resistance area.
Now, GBP/USD has come back down to test and retest the support levels, downside obstacles. The price could start increasing again if the US Dollar Index resumes its decline after the US data.
The US ISM Manufacturing PMI could shake the markets later today. The economic indicator is expected to increase from 60.7 to 60.8. Worse than expected data could boost GBP/USD.

Despite the current decline, GBP/USD maintains a bullish bias as long as it stays above the weekly pivot point (1.4163) level. Also, the 1.4177 represents a downside obstacle. Technically, only a valid breakdown below the downside sliding line (sl1) could signal a potential bearish reversal.
