GBP/USD Analysis
Yesterday was another quiet day for this pair, which did little except for chop around within quite a tight range.
Overnight things have become a little interesting with a sharp downwards move during the Tokyo session, as the USD continues to strengthen.
We are now approaching a local support level at 1.5940 which has held over the past few days. If we break through that and reach 1.5900 it will become a long more interesting as this has been a key pivotal point for a long time.
There is local resistance above at 1.6020 and possibly stronger resistance at 1.6085.
At 9:30am London time today there will be a release of U.K. Services PMI data, which is likely to have an impact upon the GBP. At 1:15pm there will be a release of U.S. ADP Non-Farm Employment Change data, followed later at 3pm by ISM Non-Manufacturing PMI data, both of which are likely to have a strong impact on the USD.
