On Thursday morning, Pound traders should take into account the publication of the UK Preliminary quarter-on-quarter Gross Domestic Product data publication at 06:00 GMT.
Later on, at 12:30 GMT, US Producer Price Index and Core Producer Price Index data will reveal inflation levels at the production level. In addition, take into account that the weekly US Unemployment Claims are scheduled to be released at the same time. Note that on their own, the claims have not been capable of increasing volatility. The moves on USD on April 28 were caused by the release of the negative US GDP, not the Unemployment Claims.

GBP/USD short-term review
If the pair clearly declines below 1.2300 the pair could find support in the 2020 July low level at 1.2260. Further below, support is highly likely going to be provided by 1.2250 and the weekly S1 simple pivot point at 1.2197 together with the 1.2200 level.Meanwhile, a recovery of the Pound against the US Dollar would have to pass the 1.2400 mark, the April low levels at 1.2413/1.2423 and the weekly simple pivot point at 1.2417. Note that the pair ignored the resistance of the 100-hour simple moving average, which approached from above.
