GBP/USD Analysis

I got the support level a little wrong yesterday: it really came in lower than 1.5381, at around 1.5364. This pair is often slippery in that way.

Overall the moves are currently small, although that might change with major news items due today for both currencies. I see the resistance at 1.5500 as probably stronger if hit today than the support at 1.5364.
