British Pound Technical Outlook: GBP/USD Multi-Timeframe Analysis

Michael Boutros, FOREX.com Senior Market Analyst, analyzes GBP/USD after the Bank of England held rates at 3.75% while the Federal Reserve adopted a more hawkish tone that strengthened the U.S. dollar. He explains how diverging central bank policies are influencing sterling, why key GBP/USD support levels are now under pressure, and what traders should watch as markets reprice the path of interest rates. The discussion also examines DXY resistance and the broader implications for dollar strength.
