GBP/USD Analysis
With the great strength in the U.S. Dollar towards the end of last week, this pair finally started to fall significantly, but has now found support below 1.2450 and looks to be resuming a more ranging type of pattern. It is clear the British Pound is being bought at these historically low levels from time to time by long-term buyers, which seem to be preventing this pair from moving as dramatically in favour of the U.S. Dollar as we are seeing in other pairs.
There are several support and resistance levels close by, suggesting the pair will range over the short-term, and this is particularly likely today in the absence of any scheduled key news releases.
There is nothing due tomorrow concerning either the GBP or the USD.
