The GBP/USD has been very volatile for today

The Pound versus the Dollar has been in a consolidation since last week between the 1.5560 zone as support and the 1.5678 zone as resistance. The round number level of the 1.5600 has served as a middle point in the consolidation from where the price has been oscillating up and down. On the one hour chart we can see that the volatility has been high, due to the relatively long real bodies on the candlesticks and long shadows in both directions. During this type of price action it is very difficult to trade due to the fact that the pair has not taken a clear direction. However, this high volatility periods could be useful for scalping trading, but it is also risky. To the upside, the 1.5700 level could act as resistance and to the downside the 1.5500 level could act as support.
