GBP/USD Analysis

This pair made a small pull back yesterday but remained within the range of the big down and up movement that marked the weekly open, so the action so far has been very inconclusive. We have a long way above us before we reach any obvious likely resistance but we are not so far from probably support at around 1.5128. There will be news releases later today affecting each side of this pair, so we may well get some more movement than we had yesterday, but it probably will not be enough to move the price down to the support. Therefore I suspect any good trade in this pair is going to come later this week and not today.
