GBP/USD Analysis

Last week this pair behaved very bullishly and is now trading higher than it was three months ago. It broke through resistance easily and flipped the horizontal level at 1.4971 from resistance to support. The price may be held now however by the key level at 1.5200, especially today which is likely to be slow without much volatility.

Below the resistant spike which peaked at 1.5078 is quite likely to be supportive if reached today or during the next few days.

My colleague Christopher Lewis is more bullish than me, as he is expecting a breakout above 1.5200 that will send the price to 1.5500.

GBPUSD 42715

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