Price changed little in the morning ahead of the BOE, but most likely we’ll have some volatility later, after the UK and US data will be released. GBP/USD stays higher and continues to pressure an important dynamic resistance, we’ll see if we’ll have a break or a bounce.
Is trading around the 1.3225 level, you should be careful because the fundamental factors will take the lead in the upcoming hours. Technically, the rate has found strong resistance again and could slip lower, but remains to see what impact will have the economic figures.
The Bank of England will release the Official Bank Rate later, which is expected to remain unchanged at 0.25%, while the Asset Purchase Facility should stay steady at 435B as the MPC members are expected to vote unanimously for this decision.
BOE Gov Carney’s speech could bring life on the GBP/USD, the Cable could drop on a dovish speech, but is premature to say what will really happen
GBP/USD has found temporary resistance at the upside line of the ascending channel (up sloping red line) and now looks undecided. Don’t worry because the economic data will bring us a clear direction. Looks like that the rate has developed a minor Rising Wedge pattern, but this is far from being confirmed, so the perspective remains bullish despite a minor drop.
A rejection from the up sloping red line will send the rate towards the warning line (wl1), where is expected to find support again. However a breakout above the red line will confirm a further upside movement, the next upside target will be at the lower median line (lml).
