    • GBP/USD Analysis

    The bears ultimately won last week’s fight, pushing the price below a long-term supportive trend line, due mainly to the strengthening of the USD. There are fears over the UK voting to exit the European Union next month, with the polls showing a narrow result, although the betting shops are still giving best odds on a vote to remain. The GBP is the only currency in a long-term downwards trend against the USD, so this is a good pair to be short of when the USD weakens.

    There is probably minor resistance starting right at the next round number, 20 pips ahead of the next key level of 1.4420.

    There are no high-impact events due today concerning either the GBP or the USD.
