Technical Analysis: GBP/USD has shown resistance near the 1.30 level in recent trading sessions, which has consistently acted as a barrier against upward movements. With current downward momentum, the next significant support level is at 1.285, a zone that has previously held when GBP has faced similar selling pressure. This makes 1.285 a viable target for downward movement if resistance at 1.30 remains unbroken
Market Sentiment and Fundamentals: The U.S. dollar is currently strong due to robust U.S. economic indicators, particularly employment and inflation resilience, which support the USD’s position relative to GBP. Additionally, as the Bank of England maintains a cautious stance on further rate hikes, the GBP lacks sufficient bullish drivers, making a pullback toward 1.285 likely if USD momentum persists
Expected Economic Data Impact: Upcoming U.S. data could reinforce dollar strength if it aligns with recent trends. This expectation for continued dollar demand supports a bearish view on GBP/USD and aligns with 1.285 as a feasible target within the week.
