GBPUSD | Perspective for the new week | Follow-up

Updated
British consumers remain affected by an elevated inflation rate, which stayed in double digits in March. Comments from a couple of Fed policymakers pointed to the US central bank raising interest rates by 25 basis points in early May, judging that inflation is still at problematic levels and monetary policy needs to be tightened. The market's immediate reaction to these sentiments has been positive as the US Dollar edged higher Friday and looks set to a bearish tone for the GBPUSD in the coming weeks. However, technical levels on the chart around the 1.23600 zone suggest bears need a whole lot of momentum and fundamental stimulus to break through this zone first as it does have a strong memory for buying power. With no high-impact fundamental stimulus from the UK docket in the coming week; the video illustrates what to look for in the current market structure to signal a buy or sell move this week.
