GBP/USD Analysis
I wrote last Thursday that there was room for the price to rise further without meeting friction, although there was a psychological level at 1.3250. I was ready to take a bullish bias if the price could break above that area, but I would remain generally bullish above 1.3183 and a little bullish above 1.3128. This was a good call as the price remained above 1.3183 and kept rising from there.
The price has pulled back. There is little trend and low volatility. The price here is mostly driven by the British Pound and news on a potential Brexit deal between the U.K. and the E.U. and I have no directional bias today. If the price remains capped by 1.3128 for several hours, it will probably fall.
There is nothing important due today concerning the GBP. Regarding the USD, there will be a release of Retail Sales data at 1:30pm London time.
