GBP/USD Analysis
As anticipated in yesterday’s forecast, it was a quiet day. Today will probably be more volatile as we have some key U.K. data due this morning that could impact sentiment about the GBP. Technically, there are no changes from yesterday. The best opportunities remain potential long trades, either from a bullish bounce off a retest of the broken trend line below the current price, or from flipped resistance to support close to the whole number at 1.5100.
There are no high-impact data releases scheduled for later today concerning the USD. Regarding the GBP, there will be a release of U.K. Manufacturing Production data at 9:30am London time. Therefore it is likely that the London session will be more active than the later New York session today.
