GBP/USD Analysis

All that can be said is that this pair continues to behave calmly and quite predictably, even with all the wild swings going on in other markets. Yesterday saw a rise up to the resistance at 1.5803 and a predictable short reversal that was given some impetus by the good economic news out of the U.S.

One new development that can be seen in the chart below is the formation of a supportive bullish short-term trend line that is currently sitting at around 1.5660. A break below this would signal a likely further move down to the supportive confluence starting at 1.5544 which could be a really great are at which to get long.

GBPUSD Signal
