GBPUSD Weekly Outlook: New perspective for the week | Follow-up

Updated
The GBPUSD surged to a new annual high of 1.2850 as Bank of England (BoE) policymakers prepare for a potential interest rate hike. Meanwhile, the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) decided to hold off on an interest rate increase, indicating that the tightening phase is still ongoing. The Pound Sterling remains optimistic as discussions about a pause in the BoE's rate-hike policy continue.

Despite the Fed's neutral interest rate decision, the Pound Sterling continued to strengthen amid concerns about a potential recession in the United States. This positive market sentiment is partly due to the relatively weak performance of the U.S. Dollar Index (DXY). BoE Governor Andrew Bailey is confident that inflation will ease, but it is expected to remain high due to labor shortages and elevated food inflation.

Additionally, the Pound Sterling's trajectory will be influenced by the upcoming announcements of the consumer price index and the interest rate decision. Based on the latest economic developments, there is a general consensus that the Bank of England will further raise interest rates to combat stubborn inflation in the United Kingdom.

In our video, we conducted a comprehensive analysis of the GBPUSD's bullish and bearish sentiment, focusing on price action-based technical analysis of support and resistance levels within the 4-hour timeframe. We discussed how these levels can help identify potential trading opportunities in the coming week, providing insights and analysis on the GBPUSD chart. It is worth noting that we highlighted a range between 1.28500 and 1.27700, and the market participants' reaction to this zone at the beginning of the week may significantly impact the direction of price action in the upcoming week.

Currently, the price action is still confined within a range, so we need to exercise patience and wait for a signal in the form of either a breakout or breakdown before considering opening a position for the week and considering the continued selling pressure below the key level at the 1.28500; the potential of selling opportunities is very likely. We will delve into this topic further during our upcoming live session this morning.

The emergence of buying pressure above the support line at $1.27700, after multiple unsuccessful attempts by sellers to breach this level, indicates a potential bullish momentum for today. Therefore, if there is a breakout or retest of the descending trendline and the $1.28020 level, it would present favorable buying opportunities at this point.
