The GBP/USD currency pair was characterised by a lack of volatility on Monday. The Pound tried to surpass the monthly R1 at 1.3208, but failed to do so for the second consecutive time. Subsequently, it was pressured down to the 55-hoour SMA which managed to support the rate effectively and return it near the aforementioned monthly R1.
Technical indicators suggest that this level should not be surpassed. Nevertheless, the UK CPI release scheduled at 0830GMT might introduce some changes to this assumption, especially if data turn our to be solid.
By and large, the appreciation that was apparent on Tuesday morning should be followed by a decline in price, setting the 100-hour SMA as a possible bottom target for this session.
