GBP/USD Analysis
I wrote last Thursday that I preferred to leave this pair alone over the day as we were far from any key levels, but I thought that the price was more likely to end the day higher than lower from where it was at the start of the London session. This was an OK call, as it did.
It was last Thursday's price action that revealed the new higher support level at 1.2920. This is a weakly bullish development and as long as the price holds above it, the picture looks weakly bullish. I would be prepared to take a careful long trade if we get a bullish bounce off that level during the first half of today's London session.
The U.S. Dollar seems to be weak, and the British Pound is likely to strengthen if opinion polls continue to be released showing strong polling leads for the governing Conservative Party in the British election campaign which will end on 12th December.
There is nothing of high importance due today concerning either the GBP or the USD.
