GBP/USD Analysis
This pair had a quiet day yesterday as the spotlight was fully on the JPY. Nothing interesting happened and that chart did not really change or print any new developments.
Therefore the logical “levels” trade to wait for will still be the possible long trade off likely support at 1.5900.
There may be some minor resistance above at the round number of 1.6100, but there is no major flipped resistance above before 1.6275. Of course, there is a triple top close to 1.6200, so this area should also provide resistance during relatively quiet market conditions, although it should be broken easily if there is sufficient momentum.
At 9:30am London time today there will be a release of U.K. Construction PMI data, which is likely to have an impact upon the GBP. Later at 1:30pm, there will be a release of U.S. Trade Balance data, which is likely to affect the USD.
