GBP/USD Analysis
As we had broken up above the bearish trend line, I wrote yesterday that things looked bullish, but that there was a fair amount of choppy swing highs above 1.5700 that might make it hard to realy move up.
This is what happened as although we did move up yesterday, the action overnight and this morning has been bearish, suggesting that we are going to fall back to the broken trend line, and possibly through it to the support at 1.5591.
We did bounce off the trend line yesterday very early right to the pip, but trend lines tend to be not very effective with this pair, so I am waiting for 1.5591 before looking for another long.
There are no high-impact data releases scheduled today directly concerning the GBP. Regarding the USD, there will be releases of Retail Sales and Unemployment Claims data at 1:30pm.
