The 1.1940/1.1960 zone has continued to hold and the GBP/USD remains near the 1.2000 level. Meanwhile, the 50 and 200-hour simple moving averages have revealed that they are not impacting the currency exchange rate.

Economic Calendar



The day will end with a speech of the US Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell at the Brooking Institution in Washington at 18:30 GMT.

On Thursday, note the Core PCE Price Index release at 13:30 GMT. The US monetary policymakers watch this index as a measure of inflation, not the Consumer Price Index.

Afterwards, the US ISM Manufacturing PMI could impact the US Dollar's value at 15:00 GMT.

The week is set to end with the release of the United States employment data at 13:30 GMT. The data release consists of the US Average Hourly Earnings changes, Non-Farm Employment Change and Unemployment Rate.

GBP/USD short-term view

If the Pound recovers against the US Dollar, it would have to break the resistance of the 1.2050 level and the 100-hour simple moving average. Higher above, note that the 1.2100 and 1.2150 levels have acted as resistance.

On the other hand, a decline of the GBP/USD might once again look for the support in the 1.1940/1.1960 zone. Further below, note the 1.1900 mark, the weekly S1 simple pivot point at 1.1869 and the 1.1850 level.
