GBP/USD Analysis

At the end of last week we saw a very sharp rise in this pair with the price breaching the 1.5000 level for a time before falling back. I had expected the area above 1.4981 to be resistant and it took a while but the price did fall off from there. However the price has been reluctant to fall any further so far. We have printed plenty of flipped resistance to support levels below with the closest being 1.4878. It could be fruitful playing either direction with this pair. It is likely that support and resistance levels will hold today as there is no high-impact news due.

GBPUSD 42015

There are no high-impact events scheduled today concerning either the USD or the GBP.
