GBP/USD Analysis

We got a meaningfully bullish bounce yesterday off previous multi-month lows, but this eventually was broken to the downside on Friday as a new 5 year low was made by this pair. However it seems we are now coming up from the big round number at 1.4500 and at the time of writing it seems we are heading for at least 1.4557 and possibly beyond that. The downwards trend remains strong so pullbacks to these areas should be good opportunities to look for shorts.

GBPUSD

There is nothing due today concerning either the GBP or the USD.
