The dollar fell across the board on Friday, as expected, and even the battered cable managed to mot close down. The US currency should edge lower today as well.

Immediate support is now seen at 1.5415. This is followed by 1.5287. Below 1.5230, euro/dollar still has support at 1.5150.

Oscillators are bullish.
