GBP/USD Retreats Ahead of FOMC Decision

The GBP/USD pair declines 0.36% from its daily peak, under pressure from indications of rising US inflation. The pair struggles above the 200-day moving average at 1.2564, hinting at potential further declines.

Support levels are seen at: November 14, 2023, high of 1.2506; breaching this could lead to further support tests at 1.2448 and the year-to-date low of 1.2299.

A recovery above the 200-DMA could reignite bullish momentum, aiming for 1.2600, with additional resistance at the 50-DMA and 100-DMA at 1.2619 and 1.2645.

The Pound Sterling reverses its course against the US Dollar, after extending its gains past the 200-day moving average (DMA). However, data from the United States (US), showing that inflation could be picking up, as shown by the Employment Cost Index (ECI), bolstered the Greenback. Therefore, the GBP/USD trades at 1.2517 down by some 0.36%, after hitting a daily high of 1.2563.
