GBP/USD holds up above 1.5100

By FXStreet FXStreet (Córdoba) – GBP/USD entered a consolidation phase on Tuesday, with the pound holding up pretty well considering USD broad strength.

Following sharp losses last week on the back of dovish hints after Bank of England Super Thursday and strong US nonfarm payrolls, GBP/USD has managed to recover some ground over the last sessions, although the upside remains capped by 1.5145.

Having spent the last hours in a 30-pip range unable to set short-term direction, GBP/USD is currently trading at 1.5110, virtually unchanged on the day and not far from its 6-month low scored at 1.5025 last Friday.

GBP/USD levels to watch
