The U.S. annual inflation rate in April amounted to 4.9%, the lowest figure since April 2021. On a monthly basis, inflation growth was 0.4%, which is also at the consensus level. However, compared to the previous period, there is noticeable growth, which may have caused concern among investors.
The EUR/USD exchange rate rose to the 1.1000 level, but failed to stay above this mark, and the quote retraced to the 1.0950 level.
The GBP/USD currency pair locally updated the high of the medium-term trend due to market speculation. However, the buyers' joy did not last long, as a pullback occurred almost immediately. The trading day ended at the opening level.
Today, the Bank of England meeting is on the agenda, where a 25 basis point interest rate hike is expected. The media is actively discussing the topic of a possible pause after the current rate hike. Thus, if information about a pause appears after the meeting or the number of votes by board members goes in favor of maintaining the current level, it will put pressure on the British currency's rate, leading to its decline.
Time targeting:
Bank of England meeting results – 11:00 UTC
In this situation, the 1.0950/1.1080 amplitude cycle may end its formation if the price holds steadily below 1.0930 over a four-hour period. Until then, there remains the risk of a price rebound.
With the upcoming Bank of England meeting, new speculation is not ruled out during the announcement of its decisions. From a technical analysis perspective, to increase the volume of long positions further, it is necessary to keep the quote above the 1.2650 value over a four-hour period. This will allow the medium-term trend to continue. At the same time, a downward scenario is possible if the price holds below the 1.2600 mark, which could strengthen short positions towards the 1.2550 level.
