GBP/USD Analysis

The pair broke down very strongly at the end of last week in line with the general resumption of USD strength, forming a major lower high just about touching the round number at 1.5700.

The price continued to fall last night but has not yet hit the key support just below slightly underneath the round number at 1.5400, which might form a floor and firm things up at the London open.

There will be a release of U.S. Core Durable Goods data at 1:30pm London time, followed by CB Consumer Confidence at 3pm.
