GBP/USD Analysis
Yesterday we saw a bullish move that failed with a double top structure not far below the anticipated resistance level at 1.3101. There was a move down from there and the price may have made new flipped support at 1.3023 although the level is dubious. If it holds, the price should continue to fall further. However, we are seeing some bottoming just below 1.3000 so I would watch what develops in the early part of today’s London session very carefully.
There is nothing of high importance due today concerning the GBP. Regarding the USD, there will be a release of Unemployment Claims data at 1:30pm London time.
