On Tuesday, the GBP/USD pair once again failed to correct and couldn't even overcome the nearest resistance level. Thus, the technical picture suggests that the decline may continue without a correction. Of course, we are still awaiting the U.S. inflation report this week, which could trigger a drop in the U.S. dollar if the result falls short of expectations. However, this report has yet to be released, so there is no point in speculating about it. Moreover, the inflation figure no longer has the same degree of influence on monetary policy and the dollar's exchange rate as it did a few months ago. The Federal Reserve has begun easing and will continue regardless. The market was waiting for the Fed to start lowering rates, and now that it has, there are no more reasons to sell the dollar.
In the 5-minute timeframe on Tuesday, the price bounced twice from the 1.3102-1.3107 area and a third time during the night. Despite not seeing a substantial decline, the downward movement may continue today. There was no reason to close the short positions as no buy signals were generated. Therefore, it is possible to remain in short positions, targeting 1.3043.
The GBP/USD pair has broken the upward trend in the hourly time frame. The U.S. dollar has started its long-awaited rise, but caution is advised with selling since the pair haven't even attempted a correction, and the U.S. inflation report is still ahead. However, in the medium-term perspective, we fully support the pair's decline, as we believe it is the only logical outcome.
On Wednesday, the British pound may continue its sluggish decline, as it failed to consolidate above the 1.3102-1.3107 area. The macroeconomic background is absent today, so strong movements are not expected.
In the 5-minute time frame, you can trade around the following levels: 1.2913, 1.2980-1.2993, 1.3043, 1.3102-1.3107, 1.3145-1.3167, 1.3225, 1.3272, 1.3365, 1.3428-1.3440, 1.3488, 1.3537. On Wednesday, no significant events are scheduled in the UK or the U.S., so volatility may remain low throughout the day, and the British pound has not shown any desire for correction so far.
