GBP/USD Analysis
The pair is showing an attempt to rise from these very low prices, but the attempt is quite weak despite the higher lows. There are many support and resistance levels but as much of the structure has formed over the thin holiday period, reliability today is likely to be less than usual.
There is a strong long-term bearish trend so a bearish move will probably give the best probability for profit.
Regarding the GBP, there will be a release of Manufacturing PMI data at 9:30am London time. Concerning the USD, there will be a release of ISM Manufacturing PMI data at 3pm.
