GBP/USD Analysis
It has looked like the price had really broken past 1.5789 but this was not the case and it ultimately held and reversed the upwards move that took place during the first half of last week.
This morning we may have made a triple bottom at 1.5591 which is the bottom of the bearish triangle that this pair is currently trading within.
So far this morning it looks like there will be an upwards move this morning, but there are news events that might push the price around. A spike down to 1.5591 which is then held by bullish price action could be a good long opportunity, whereas another rejection of 1.5789 would be a good location to take a short.
We are still in a downwards trend but a breakout above 1.5789 could be bullishly significant.
There are high-impact data releases scheduled today that will directly affect both the GBP and the USD. Regarding the GBP, at 9:30am London time there will be a release of U.K. Manufacturing PMI data. Later at 3pm, there will be a release of U.S. ISM Manufacturing PMI data. It is likely to be a more active Monday than usual for this pair today.
