GBP/USD Analysis
I wrote yesterday that it should be a quiet trading day for this pair, and it was. There has been no change to the overall technical picture, with little movement in the price. We have formed a smaller consolidating triangle just above the older, larger one, but this can safely be ignored for now. There should be much more movement today, and the best opportunities are likely to be long entries at the pull backs detailed above.
There are high-impact data releases scheduled for later today concerning both the GBP and the USD. Therefore it is likely that today will be a volatile day for this pair. At 10:30am London time the Bank of England will release their monthly Inflation Report. Regarding the USD, at 1:30pm there will releases of U.S. data concerning Retail Sales and Unemployment Claims.
