GBP/USD Signals Update
Yesterday’s signals might have been triggered, as there was a reversal at the resistance level I identified practically to the pip, at 1.4580. However the hourly candle rejecting that level was very long so most traders would probably have refrained from taking it. In any case, it gave at least the minimum 25 pips of profit if taken.

GBP/USD Analysis
This pair swung up and down yesterday, and seems to have begun a period of consolidation. The price has printed narrowing support and resistance and at the time of writing is sitting right in the middle of its natural range. This suggests that trading rejections of key levels could be a good move, but it could be that the price doesn’t really go anywhere.
Concerning the GBP, there will be Inflation Report Hearings at Noon London time. There is nothing due regarding the USD.
