GBP/USD: review and forecast

Current trend

During a week, the GBP/USD pair has been trading within a narrow range, close to the level of 1.5210. At present, the pair is still waiting for an impulse that will manage to push the price out of its sideways channel.
However, such an impulse is unlikely to occur today. The only news release that may influence the dynamics in the pair is FOMC Minutes. FOMC Minutes are released by the Board of Governors of the Fed and are a clear guide to the future US interest rate policy.

Support and resistance
