GBP/USD Analysis
I gave no signal yesterday as I have been finding this pair very hard to predict. It moved up quite sharply yesterday, probably mostly due to the strengthening of the EUR dragging the GBP along in its wake.
I did mention possible support at 1.5033 and that comes into play today, although it is very unlikely that we will get a move down to that price before London closes.
There is also a minor trend line shown in the chart below that may prove to be supportive, and could be scalped. The line is currently sitting at around 1.5144.
There are no high-impact data releases scheduled today concerning the GBP, but there are regarding the USD later after London closes. At 7pm London time there will be a release of the FOMC Statement and Federal Funds Rate. This might have a big impact upon the USD.
