GBP/USD Analysis
Yesterday I wrote the following which still applies:
“This pair is still behaving quite weirdly and erratically. It is essentially trendless and subject to strange fluctuations based largely upon political developments in the U.K. which will be voting on whether to withdraw from the European Union on 23rd June. This pair is probably best avoided over the short-term.”
If you are determined to trade this pair, in addition to the support and resistance identified above, note the area from about 1.4500 to 1.4480 seems to be becoming supportive as well.
There is nothing due today concerning the GBP. Regarding the USD, there will be a release of Unemployment Claims data at 1:30pm London time.
