GBPUSD | Perspective for the new week | Follow-up

Updated
Explore the GBPUSD landscape as it maintains its optimistic stance above $1.2710 market, driven by robust UK inflation data. The Pound Sterling gains strength from this report and the potential for further interest rate adjustments by the Bank of England (BoE).

With core CPI data raising inflation concerns within the UK economy, the BoE might opt for more interest rate hikes, adding more fuel to the fire of the Pound Sterling's rise. The stage is set for the GBPUSD pair to reap the benefits of this pivotal scenario.
Across the Atlantic, declining US unemployment claims for the week ending August 12 underscore the tightness of the labor market, potentially paving the way for another Federal Reserve (Fed) interest rate rise. Fresh FOMC Minutes emphasized the challenge of high inflation and the need for possible monetary policy tightening.

In the upcoming week, eyes will turn to key macroeconomic events from both economies, including the Jackson Hole Symposium and PMI data releases from the UK and US. These data points will shape market sentiment and drive opportunities for the GBPUSD pair.

Note
Amidst the current market dynamics, price action confidently maintains its position above a well-defined ascending trendline and the week's key level resting at $1.27100. These factors bolster the optimistic outlook for an ongoing uptrend. However, it's equally vital to remain mindful of potential sellers' influence, as any breakdown/retest of these structures could trigger a shift to a downtrend perspective. To navigate this scenario, we've identified a distinct trading range on the 1-hour timeframe, serving as our compass for today's trading decisions. It's important to exercise caution and patience, as bearish signals at this juncture require confirmation before any execution is considered.
