GBP/USD: Hope For The Bulls?

Even though Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell maintained his hawkish stance that the inflation fight ‘has a long way to go’ and that more rate hikes are expected, the U.S. dollar failed to move higher. Instead, the euro flirted with the 1.10-area against the greenback and traders thus, brace for a next leg higher towards the resistance zone at 1.11.

Yesterday’s correction in the cable stopped at 1.2690. We still expect a short-term support to lie at 1.2660. The Bank of England is expected to raise rates today at 11:00 UTC by 25bp. For a chance of a profitable bullish breakout, however, we would wait for the price to exceed the 1.2860-area.
