GBP/USD Analysis
Yesterday we had a small bullish breakout above the upper trend line of the consolidating triangle, however it should be noted that this pair doesn’t really seem to be moving very strongly. There are more attractive trades elsewhere. Nevertheless the support level I gave held accurately as the low of the day so there were long pips to be made. There is resistance not far above that might be the next probable trade, at a reversal from the zone between 1.5665 and 1.5690. Alternatively a pull back to the broken trend line could provide a long at 1.5590 or thereabouts.
There is nothing due today regarding the GBP. Concerning the USD, there will be releases of Retail Sales and Unemployment Claims data at 1:30pm London time
