The GBP/USD was about to hit the 1.2550 mark on Friday, as it started a decline. By mid-day, the rate appeared to be passing below the support of the 1.2500 mark and the 50-hour simple moving average.

Economic Calendar



On Friday, the US Retail Sales data might cause a reaction in the financial markets at 12:30 GMT.

Next week, note the US Empire State Manufacturing Index on Monday at 12:30 GMT.

On Wednesday, the UK Consumer Price Inflation release is expected to impact the rate via an adjustment of GBP value.

On Friday, the US Flash Manufacturing and Services PMIs could cause an impact on the US Dollar.

GBP/USD short-term view

Below the 1.2500 mark, support might be found in the 1.2450 level and the 100 and 200-hour simple moving averages near that level. Further below, note the 1.2400 mark and the weekly simple pivot point.

A resumption of the surge of the Pound against the US Dollar might be slowed down by the 1.2500 mark and the 50-hour simple moving average. Higher above note that 1.2550 could once again act as resistance.
