GBP/USD Analysis

The pair has begun to recover and the chart below is now showing swings with higher lows. However the resistance at 1.3000 was strong yesterday and it might hold again, there is also another level only 50 pips above that.

Although some kind of bullish move looks to being signalled by the price action, I still prefer to look for shorts here, as there are plenty of reasons why we can expect the Pound to be likely to weaken further, not least the strength and momentum of the recent fall.GBPUSD
