GBP/USD Analysis
This pair fell sharply during the second half of last week as the Bank of England gave a more dovish than expected monthly report, and the USD took off following very strong NFP numbers and comments from the Fed suggesting a rate hike in December is more likely than not.
The price has pulled back from its post NFP low and is currently bumping up against the nearest resistance level of 1.5078. A good bearish reversal from here 1 hour after the London open should be a good opportunity for a short trade.
There is nothing due today regarding either the GBP or the USD.
