Trade Of The Day
Tags:
* Dovish Tone: The GBP/USD exchange rate declined after the Bank of England (BoE) decided to keep interest rates at 5.25%. The accompanying statement indicated the decision was “finely balanced,” implying there was a significant risk the BoE might have opted to cut rates. The language of the accompanying statement and minutes was slightly dovish, putting pressure on the currency. The BoE referenced the August decision and how new information “affects the assessment that the risks from inflation persistence are receding,” hinting that a rate cut could be planned for August.
* Technical Breakout: GBPUSD was traded lower following prior breakout below the previous support level 1.26800. MACD which illustrate bearish momentum signal with the formation of death cross coupled with recent bearish market structure suggest the pair to extend its losses.
* Resistance and Support: If the bearish momentum persists, there’s a strong likelihood that the price will potentially head towards 1.25700. Conversely, a potential correction is also to be expected and the price could head back towards 1.27950 after it breaks above.
