British Pound Technical Outlook: GBP/USD Multi-Timeframe Analysis
British pound support at the bottom of its yearly range has held for a fourth straight week as easing Treasury yields give sterling some relief. Michael Boutros, StoneX Media Senior Market Analyst, walks through GBP/USD on the weekly, daily and four-hour charts. Weekly RSI has held above 40 since January of last year, through four weekly tests of support. The monthly opening range on GBP/USD is contracting, with lower highs and higher lows defining both sides of the trade. With U.S. Treasury yields pulling back from multi-decade highs, U.S. CPI and PPI data now have the potential to shift Federal Reserve rate expectations.

EUR/USD forecast: Downside risks persist despite recovery
Amid a lack of any major news, the FX markets have been largely in consolidation mode in the first half of Tuesday’s session. The US dollar eased along with bond yields and oil prices, allowing downbeat currencies like the euro to rebound modestly. With US CPI data due for release on Wednesday, don’t expect much in the way of a sharper decline in USD ahead of it. If anything, we could see the dollar buying resume, especially if crude oil prices catch a bid again amid the ongoing situation.
