GBP/USD Analysis
The pair fell yesterday as the USD strengthened, but the GBP held up far better than the Euro and is currently recovering, suggesting that this pair will remain well positioned to rise at a time of any weakness in the USD.
Key support at the psychologically key 1.5750 was taken out, but the support at 1.5700 remains.
The price is currently struggling to break up above 1.5800 as London opens. It if cannot break up fairly quickly past this level, it is likely to fall, so we should get an early clue as to today’s probably direction.
There are no high-impact events scheduled today for the GBP. Regarding the USD, there will be a release of Final GDP data at 1:30pm London time.
