GBPUSD is up today on a slightly cooler US Consumer Price Index (CPI) reading, but is it sustainable?
Today, I’ll share the GBPUSD area to watch this week, which lines up with a critical level on the US Dollar Index (DXY).
Let’s get started!
GBPUSD is up today following a slightly cooler print from US CPI.
However, it’s not as big of a miss as some were expecting, and US inflation remains well above seasonally adjusted averages.
As for the pound, bulls managed an initial 60-pip surge following today’s CPI prints, but the pair has retreated some since.
Like the EURUSD that I discussed on Tuesday, I’m not overly interested in trading GBPUSD until we see a sweep of range resistance.
Currently, that level lies at 1.2710.
With that said, there’s a well-established descending trend line from several 2021 highs that comes in closer to 1.2800.
It’s unclear whether we’ll see GBPUSD trend that high, but a 1.2800 retest would put the DXY below its 2024 ascending channel.
For now, all eyes are on a DXY 104.00 retest, which will likely coincide with the GBPUSD testing or even sweeping those 1.2710 highs.
