Fundamental Analysis

*The British pound remains resilient, buoyed by the UK’s economic outperformance relative to the U.S. However, uncertainty looms ahead of the Bank of England (BoE) rate decision, where policymakers are expected to hold rates at 4.5% (with a 7-2 vote split). Meanwhile, the Federal Reserve is also anticipated to maintain its current stance, but its statement could influence market sentiment and drive volatility in GBP/USD.

Technical Analysis

* Technical Breakdown: Despite the pound’s strength, bearish divergence suggests potential downside risks, with MACD and RSI trending lower even as price holds firm. If selling pressure builds, GBP/USD could test the 1.2965 support level. However, a successful rebound may lead the pair to retest the 1.3005 resistance level.

Potential Risks

A hawkish BoE stance could bolster the pound, pushing GBP/USD higher.
