GBP/USD AnalysisThis pair is in a long-term bullish trend, and keeps finding key support above the psychologically crucial 1.3000 level. It is in no hurry to rise, and over the medium-term is gently rising in a clear bullish channel which is very consolidative. To rise further the next resistance level at 1.3226 must be broken soon, if this does not happen, the price should fall to 1.3132. Alternatively, even if the price does rise strongly and make new highs, it looks very likely to be stopped by resistance before 1.3344, so gains look uncertain and limited even if the bulls get more control.
I have a mildly bullish bias.
There is nothing important due today concerning either the GBP or the USD.
