The FOMC report was the highlight of the trading day Wednesday. After last months FOMC fireworks expectations were muted heading in to today and that is what was delivered. The GBPUSD is the pair in play on Thursday. GBP GDP is due at 4:30 GMT. Analyst predictions are for a reading of -.6% YOY. A better than expected reading could help this pair continue it climb towards the channel top around 1.6140. A weak number could have the inverse effect. That is it for now. As always keep your trades KEANE and play it tight.
The GBPUSD appears to be establishing a downwards slopping channel. The top of the channel is around 1.6140 and the bottom is around 1.59. Currently the pair is resting around mid range. This could change in European trading Thursday with the GBP GDP release. Expectations are for a YoY reading of -.5% and a QoQ reading of .6%. If GDP is better than expected a break of immediate Res at 1.6050 could be in the cards. This would open the way for a test of the top of the channel into the end of the week. Support begins at the .382 fib at 1.60.
