GBP/USD Analysis
Yesterday this pair had a bullish boost off the support at around 1.5350. If we return to this level it is likely to be supportive again. The obstacle to continuing bullishness remains the confluence of a broken bullish trend line and a strong horizontal support level at around 1.5482. This could provide a good shorting opportunity, especially if news later spikes the price up there.
There are high impact events concerning both the GBP and the USD today. Regarding the GBP, there is an Inflation Report Hearing at 10am London time. Later at 3pm there will be a release of U.S. CB Consumer Confidence data and the Chair of the Federal Reserve will begin her testimony.
