GBP/USD Analysis
This pair remains very established within a range bounded by 1.2350 and 1.2610, with the centre of gravity at the psychologically key level of 1.2500. The price found some support yesterday around the round number of 1.2400 at the lower end of the range. As long as the range dominates, it does give an opportunity to trade reversals at the extremes for conservative profit targets.
There is nothing due today concerning the GBP. Regarding the USD, there will be a release of Preliminary GDP data at 1:30pm London time, followed by CB Consumer Confidence at 3pm. President Trump will be speaking before a joint session of Congress at 2am.
