VT Markets | 260 hari yang lalu

GBP/USD retreated to 1.35, its lowest level since January, as stronger US economic data reinforced dollar demand and delayed expectations for Federal Reserve rate cuts. While short-term momentum has turned softer, GBP/USD remains up over 6% year-on-year, suggesting the move may represent a correction rather than a full trend reversal.

Traders are now watching whether support around 1.3400 holds. A break lower could accelerate downside pressure toward 1.3300, while a recovery above 1.3550 may signal renewed bullish momentum. With both Fed and Bank of England policy expectations in flux, rate differentials remain the key driver for the pair.
