GBP/USD Signal Update
Yesterday’s signals produced a long trade following the bullish pin candle’s rejection of the support level identified at 1.2364. At the time of writing the trade is at a slight floating loss, but it looks as if the support is likely to hold so it is probably worth holding on to.

GBP/USD Analysis
The Dollar is strong but the Pound holds up relatively well. Not well enough to prevent the bearish trend from pushing the price down periodically, but the bid in the Pound emerges from time to time. There are two support levels close by and we have already seen some buying, so I see this pair as supported for the time being and most likely over the short-term to move up.
There is nothing due today concerning either the GBP or the USD.
