GBP/USD Analysis
I noted yesterday how the GBP was holding up against the USD unlike the other European currencies. The chart below shows how this pair is currently very range bound and this probably will not change during the London session today. For these reasons it does not look like an attractive pair to trade, except for short-term trades targeting a few pips off the support and resistance levels.
There is nothing due today regarding the GBP. Concerning the USD, there will be a release of Building Permits data at 1:30pm London time, followed by the FOMC Meeting Minutes at 7pm.
