GBP/USD Analysis
This pair again made a new 7 year low on Friday and the 20 year low at around 1.3500 is not so very far away from the current price. This is something to think about as on the one hand the British Pound has tended to trade within a certain range against the USD for a very long time and we are definitely close to the low edge of that band. On the other hand, when a currency pair is moving so strongly as to be making multi-year record prices and is backed by sentiment and macro as the fall in the British Pound is, the odds are in going with the flow.
It appears this pair has found some support at 1.3850 and will probably get at least a little higher during early London trading. There should be good resistance between 1.3920 and 1.3950 which could give a good shorting opportunity if the move up stalls there.
There is nothing due today concerning either the GBP or the USD.
