GBP/USD Analysis
This pair was extremely quiet yesterday so there is not really any more analysis to add to the existing picture. There are few clear support or resistance levels anywhere near the current price, with the exception of an untouched supportive inflection point above us at 1.5789, which is likely to provide some resistance.
We will have key news events today from each side of this pair which should create some more volatility. A sudden spike up to 1.5789 could be a good shorting opportunity. Likewise, a spike down below 1.5600 might see a sharp bounce back up.
There are high-impact news releases scheduled today likely to affect both the GBP and the USD. At 9:30am London time there will be a release of U.K. CPI data, which is likely to affect the EUR. Later at 1:30pm there will a release of U.S. PPI data, which will probably affect the USD.
