GBP/USD Analysis
The pair is made a double bottom at 1.2212 and has been rising from there, but the rise looks weak and the action still looks bearish overall, so it seems likely that the price will fall again. The next resistance level at 1.2270 is therefore likely to hold if reached today.
Regarding the GBP, there will be a release of Construction PMI data at 9:30am London time. Concerning the USD, there will be a release of FOMC Meeting Minutes at 7pm.
