GBP/USD pulls back into key support cluster
GBP/USD has pulled back from its highs and looks like it wants to build a base above the May 2022 high. An inverted hammer formed on the daily chart around the 10-day EMA and momentum has turned higher ahead of the European Open.
The near-term bias remains bullish above Friday’s low and for an initial move to 1.2800 or around the 1.2850 highs. A break above which brings the 1.29 handle into focus, just below the upper 1-week implied volatility band.

It looked great - until it didn't. A stronger US dollar thanks to hawkish comments for Powell, and BOE's Bailey hinting at 'higher for longer rates' crushed GBP on recessionary fears.
