Summary
The US dollar is slowly decoupling from crude oil, following yesterday's FOMC press conference.
GBP/USD has been hanging in a consolidation range between 1.3450 and 1.36 in the last two weeks, and immediate dollar weakness will look to break the upward resistance.
EUR/USD was also consolidating in a more directional price action but has found its bottom after yesterday's FOMC meeting.
