GBP/USD is offered on Monday, extending losses from Friday while the dollar index is finishing July down after a similar loss in June.

GBP/USD is pressured below the prior week's lows but remains on the front side of the bullish trendline.
GBP/USD daily and H4 charts
On the daily chart, we are coiling on the front side of the bearish trend and tinkering on the edge of a bearish breakout.
The four-hour chart shows the bears moving from resistance and a 50% mean reversion level.
