On Wednesday, the GBP/USD pair also experienced a sharp decline due to the sudden surge in hawkish sentiment within the Federal Reserve. As mentioned in previous analyses, the catalyst for the U.S. dollar's rise was not Jerome Powell's speech (though it may have contributed), nor the rate cut (inherently illogical), but rather the dot-plot chart. It became evident that the Fed's monetary committee members now anticipate much less policy easing in 2025 compared to previous dot-plot projections. This indicates Fed officials are no longer prepared to vote for such substantial rate cuts.
However, since September 2022, the market has been pricing in aggressive easing, with rates potentially falling as low as 2%. As we've emphasized throughout 2024, the market is now recalibrating the dollar's fair value, correcting for an unrealistic scenario it had already priced in.
Today's Bank of England meeting could allow the British pound to recover quickly. The BoE is unlikely to cut rates or adopt a dovish stance, which could provide some support for the currency.
Four trading signals were generated in the 5-minute timeframe on Wednesday while the pair traded in a flat range. These highly accurate signals could have earned traders 10–15 pips. Unfortunately, entering the market became more challenging once the sharp decline began. If some novice traders managed to capitalize on the movement, that's a great result.
The GBP/USD pair appears to have completed its upward correction on the hourly timeframe, though there is no certainty or guarantee. We fully support a bearish outlook for the pound from a medium-term perspective, as we believe this is the most logical scenario. However, it is essential to remember that the pound exhibits strong resilience against the U.S. dollar. Therefore, while further declines are anticipated, traders should rely on technical signals.
On Thursday, the GBP/USD pair could exhibit high volatility again due to the BoE meeting, which may trigger movement in either direction.
On the 5-minute timeframe, consider the following levels for trading: 1.2387, 1.2445, 1.2502–1.2508, 1.2547, 1.2633, 1.2680–1.2685, 1.2723, 1.2791–1.2798, 1.2848–1.2860, 1.2913, 1.2980–1.2993.
The BoE meeting will likely be the focal point in the UK on Thursday. Another decline in the pound is possible, but we cannot entirely rule out the potential for growth if the BoE adopts a similarly hawkish tone.
