GBP/USD Analysis
The downwards trend is still fully intact but the pair seems to be having some kind of break from the move and is consolidating above 1.4125. If it does not get below that price today or early tomorrow during the London session, it is quite probably going to end the week by rising.
I see strong resistance likely at around 1.4236 to 1.4250.
There is nothing due today concerning the GBP. Regarding the USD, there will be releases of Unemployment Claims data and the Philly Fed Manufacturing Index at 1:30pm London time.
