GBP/USD Analysis
The GBP rose during the second half of last week, breaking cleanly through the anticipated support at 1.5381 which has now probably flipped to become support. This looks to be a good area at which to seek a long trade if the price returns there today. Above, there is good resistance at 1.5500 and also beyond that at 1.5557. As overall the action in this pair is fairly choppy, trading reversals off these levels should work quite well. Keep an eye on this pair today, as news items are due for both currencies.
Concerning the GBP, there will be a release of Manufacturing PMI data at 9:30am London time. Regarding the USD, there will be a release of ISM Manufacturing PMI data at 3pm.
