GBP/USD Analysis

I have been leaving this pair alone for the past few days, but it has suddenly become interesting again for two reasons: firstly, there has been a lot of bullish interest in the GBP over recent days, which has been driving this pair upwards. Secondly, the price has broken out of both a bearish channel and a narrowing triangle formation, which is a bullish sign. Furthermore, we have been spending time in an area around 1.5000 which has historically been very supportive.

The problem with being bullish of this pair is really that the other side of the transaction is the USD, which is still quite strong and in a long-term bull trend that shows no clear signs of ending.

Nevertheless, there may be a good opportunity to get long at a pull back and bouncing retest of the broken upper, bearish triangle trend line below, even if the support level at 1.5096 is not also touched.

GBPUSD 2915

There are no high-impact data releases scheduled for later today concerning either the GBP or the USD. Therefore it is likely to be a very quiet day for this pair, unless there is unforeseen news.
