GBPUSD 4 HOUR CHART – PAUSES ABOVE SUPPORT

It still amazes me how uncanny The Amazing Traders can be with its chart levels and this chart shows the 1.2756 level what I posted much earlier.
Note how GBPUSD paused above 1.2656 and after a period of going sideways, has given up and staged a bounce.

That support line you see is a Clone – historical angles that are used when the pair is moving Up .
So it is only an indication of what might serve as a support.
Also, it is now wide enough to expect it to hold for awhile.

SNB comes thru
– Recent meetings Jordan referenced the role a strong CHF plays in fighting inflation.
– Current meeting Inflation forecasts lowered, significant chf strength noted, current inflation pressures are domestic service driven, int rates lowered with room for another cut in Q3.
That said, against a backdrop of global tensions not going away anytime soon probably implies the CHf won’t run away to the downside but imo has room to walk in that direction, and favorite liability ccy play.

Break of 158.25 leaves a void until the major 160.16 high. Normally this would be a clear path hher but BoJ intervention risk cannot be ignored.
On the downside, expect a very strong bid if 157.25 becomes support although bids likely below the market as long as above 157.50

A look at the day ahead in European and global markets from Ankur Banerjee
British inflation may have returned to its 2% target for the first time in nearly three years, setting the stage for the Bank of England to cut interest rates – just not on Thursday.
June BoE MPC Preview:
Inflation still the stumbling block to rate cuts
The BoE’s May MPC meeting saw Deputy Governor Dave Ramsden join long-term dove Swati Dhingra in calling for an immediate 25 basis point cut in interest rates. The other seven members all again opted for no change. Approaching this month’s meeting, there has been a further, but less than wholly convincing, decline in inflation, while wages have remained stubbornly robust. Consequently, with the real economy having moved out of recession, the overall mix has left speculators expecting no change in Bank Rate and the first cut to be deferred until at least the first meeting after the summer break in August.
