GBP/USD Analysis
Yesterday saw this pair behave bullishly, as it bounced off a supportive area close to 1.4700 before breaking resistance at 1.4800. The price has not yet returned to 1.4800, and it may well be that this place has flipped from resistance to support, so it can be used as a launching pad for a long trade today.
Above there is the old and very strong resistance at 1.4981 up to the key psychological area at 1.5000.
The USD has lost a lot of its strength and the GBP is coming up against it with surprisingly strong bullishness.
There are high-impact events scheduled today concerning the USD but not the GBP. At 1:30pm London time there will be a release of Building Permits and Unemployment Claims data, followed later at 3pm by the Philly Fed Manufacturing Index.
