GBP/USD:Unraveling the Impact of UK Wage Growth DataGBP/USD:Unraveling the Impact of UK Wage Growth Data The Pound Sterling finds itself at a crossroads following the release of disappointing UK wage growth figures for the quarter ending November. Despite steady employment levels, the looming economic challenges cast a shadow on the currency's performance. A risk-off sentiment prevails, further intensified by concerns over UK inflation data, keeping the Pound Sterling under pressure. Market Response: During Tuesday's European morning session, the GBP/USD took a step back as the UK Office for National Statistics (ONS) unveiled a slowdown in Average Earnings data for the three months leading up to November. This unexpected deceleration adds to the complexity of an already challenging economic landscape. Economic Challenges: The UK economy faces the ominous prospect of a technical recession, with the ONS reporting a contraction in the third quarter of 2023. The Bank of England (BoE) shares a cautious outlook, expressing less confidence in any growth during the final quarter of 2023. Factors such as higher interest rates and an escalating cost-of-living crisis contribute to the prevailing economic uncertainty. Technical Analysis: Examining the GBP/USD from a technical standpoint, the price retraced to the Demand Zone around the 61.8% Fibonacci area. This area becomes particularly significant due to the confluence with the Supply zone and the presence of the dynamic trendline within the Bullish Channel. Additionally, the Stochastic indicator signaling an Oversold condition presents an intriguing opportunity for traders. This setting potentially offers a discounted buying opportunity, with an optimistic outlook for a price surge aligned with the ongoing Bullish trend. Conclusion: As economic challenges cast a shadow on the Pound Sterling's performance, traders and investors closely monitor the technical landscape for potential opportunities. The convergence of factors, including the economic headwinds, technical indicators, and the cautious stance of the BoE, shapes the narrative for the GBP/USD. How the Pound navigates these challenges will be pivotal in determining its trajectory in the coming sessions. Our preference Long positions above 1.25350 with targets at 1.2750 & 1.2850 in extension

GBP/USD Reacts Bullishly Amidst Retracement and Central Bank...GBP/USD Reacts Bullishly Amidst Retracement and Central Bank Caution In line with our previous forecast, GBP/USD has undergone a retracement, finding support at the 61.8% Fibonacci level within a range area. However, the market remains cautious as investors and traders brace for upcoming interest rate decisions by the Bank of England (BoE) and the Federal Reserve (Fed) next week. Both central banks are expected to maintain their current monetary policies, but the focus will be on their guidance for interest rates throughout 2024. Market Dynamics: Despite the cautious sentiment, the GBP/USD pair displayed a robust response in the EU session, showcasing a strong bullish impulse. This morning's market activity suggests that traders are actively positioning themselves ahead of the central bank decisions. BoE's Stance: BoE policymakers are anticipated to abstain from discussions about rate cuts, given that the United Kingdom economy is grappling with significantly higher inflationary pressures compared to the United States. This distinction in economic conditions is a crucial factor influencing the central bank's decision-making. Upcoming Data: Before the Fed's interest rate decision, all eyes will be on the core Personal Consumption Expenditure (PCE) price index data for December, scheduled for publication at 13:30 GMT. This data will likely play a pivotal role in shaping expectations and market sentiment leading up to the Fed's decision. Forecast: Despite the cautious backdrop, our forecast for GBP/USD remains bullish, aligning with the morning's strong reaction and the overall technical setup. Traders are advised to stay vigilant, adapting their strategies as market dynamics unfold in response to central bank decisions and economic indicators. Our preference Long positions above 1.2600 with targets at 1.2850
