GBP/USD Analysis

This pair remains bullish as the supportive area at around 1.5350 has held over recent days. However we did break down out of the bullish wedge last week, as I had expected following our very close support to what had been identified as strong resistance at 1.5482. We might need to break below 1.5350 and get down to 1.5280 before we are able to break up past 1.5482 – 1.5500.

GBPUSD 22315

There are no high-impact events scheduled for either the USD or the GBP today. It is likely to be a relatively quiet day for this pair.
