GBP/USD Analysis
The anticipated support I had marked at 1.5381 did hold for almost a day or so, but ultimately broke down. This level has now probably flipped from support to resistance so we could seek a short trade there if there is a bearish reversal.
The bigger story in today’s chart below is the bullish trend line which has already had two touches and which has been forming since the beginning of October. This pair does not always respect its trend lines very precisely, but it is confluent with a round number right now, and looks like a very tempting target to make the low of today.
There is nothing due today regarding either the GBP or the USD.
