GBP/USD Analysis
The U.S. Dollar weakened yesterday, and although the Euro was the primary beneficiary of this, the British Pound also strengthened, showing some significant bullish technical developments. The bearish trend line is broken, and new a new support level has been established at 1.3178. There is a confluence here, so it might act as strong support as a launchpad for a further rise today, although this is not very likely to happen until the FOMC Meeting Minutes release due later.
The nearest resistance at 1.3296 is likely to be strong, as it is confluent with the round number at 1.3000.
There is nothing significant due today concerning the GBP. Regarding the USD, there will be a release of the FOMC Meeting Minutes at 7pm London time.
