On Monday (October 9), GBP/USD closed at 1.2236, basically the same as last Friday's closing price, but the intraday low fell back to 1.2161. Although the market still predicts that the Bank of England will not raise interest rates further, data and events released in the UK last week may affect market expectations. Whether we can continue to raise interest rates remains to be seen how economic data from the UK performs. The rebound of the pound in the past few trading days is only a technical adjustment for the time being. Whether the British pound can completely reverse its decline still depends on the performance of the US dollar. In terms of technical graphics, the pound is still under pressure against the US dollar, just like the euro, and the overall trend is still in a downward channel. However, various technical indicators showed signs of oversold turning, which seemed to indicate a rebound to adjust the trading rhythm. In the near future, pay attention to the resistance in the 1.2260-1.2300 price area above. If it can be broken through, driven by the rebound potential, GBP/USD may be expected to rise higher.
