GBP/USD Analysis

I was a little wrong in expecting support and resistance levels to hold yesterday, in fact this pair flipped a resistant area to become probable future support at around 1.5164. This is a bullish sign.

There remains plenty of event risk with the British voting tomorrow in a General Election that still looks very likely to produce an unstable outcome.

GBPUSD 5615

There are high-impact events scheduled today concerning both the GBP and the USD. At 9:30am London time there will be a release of U.K. Services PMI data. Regarding the USD, there will be a release of ADP Non-Farm Employment Change data at 1:15pm followed by the Chair of the Federal Reserve speaking at a Panel Discussion commencing at 2:15pm.
