GBP/USD Analysis
I wrote yesterday that “trading the range off rejections of either side of the range should be the best strategy”, and so it proved to be. The 1.5554 level was very supportive but the price did not bounce cleanly so it would have been hard to find the best long trade entry except on a very short-term chart. Both of these currencies are strong and no high-impact news is expected today concerning either of them, so a continuation of the range is also probably and my commentary yesterday holds. However there appears to be a slightly greater chance that the price will break down below 1.5554.
There is nothing due today regarding the GBP or the USD.
