GBP/USD Analysis

I wrote yesterday that this pair is flat and trapped within a consolidating triangle, and the situation has not changed, with both the bearish trend line and the nearest support level both holding over the past 24 hours. Therefore there is no change to the situation at all.

GBPUSD Forex Signal

There is nothing due today regarding either the USD. Concerning the GBP, there will be a release of the Average Earnings Index and Claimant Count Change data at 9:30am London time.
