GBP/USD Analysis

Yesterday I forecasted that if the first hourly candle following the London open was reasonably bullish, the direction for the London session would be upwards, and I was correct about that. Overnight the price has fallen back a little. The overall short-term picture is weakly bullish right now.

GBPUSD 123114

There are no high-impact data releases scheduled today concerning the GBP. Regarding the USD, there will be a release of Unemployment Claims data at 1:30pm London time.
