1,9907. GBP USD is in a range between 1,9680 and 2,0000. GBP USD moves without trend and swings around exponential moving averages (EMA 50 and 100). The volatility is low. Oscillators are neutral. The price should continue to move in 1,9680 / 2,0000 range. We won't take a position. The risk/reward ratio is too high to take a position..
