GBP/USD Analysis
This pair has been chopping around between 1.6000 and 1.6200 without really coming close to any interesting levels for some time now. However the pair is beginning to get interesting as it comes within sight of a supportive level at 1.5900. We may have already made today’s low as the price is rising fairly steadily at the time of writing, but 1.5900 remains interesting as it has been very close to daily highs and lows and seems to have flipped over from resistance into support. This is not very visible on the H4 chart.
The zone is a little flexible and slippery so it should still be valid even if violated to the downside.
There is a triple top at 1.6200 which will probably provide some resistance under normal market conditions, but should be broken quite easily when there is momentum. The real test will be of the flipped level at 1.6275, which is likely to prove resistant.
At 9:30am there will be a release of U.K. Manufacturing PMI data. Later at 3pm there will be a release of U.S. ISM Manufacturing data. It is likely to be a fairly day for this pair as there will be high-impact news releases likely to affect both its component currencies.
