Eyes on today release: U.S. Interest Rates

#GBP/USD

Eyes on today Fed Interest Rates Decision (Rates are expected to rise up) and FOMC Meeting.

UK CPI inflation data and UK Manufacturing Production came higher than consensus.

Sterling rose amid hopes that a deal on Brexit would be reached. Nonetheless, we think the sentiment will turn negative very soon, as this deal will be delayed and Pound will discount this heavily overbought speculative situation.

UK Retail Sales came better than expected and last UK job market data also better than expected.

As written previously, Pound is inside an overbought area. 1.336 – 1.346 area represented a strong Resistance and now prices start to be overheat, so that an overbought pattern triggered and now we expect price to fall below 1.329 area.

Our special Fibo Retracement is confirming the following S/R levels against the Monthly and Weekly Trendlines obtained by connecting the relevant highs and lows back to 2001:

Weekly Trend: Overbought
1st Resistance: 1.3460
2nd Resistance: 1.3610

Eyes on today Fed Interest Rates Decision (Rates are expected to rise up) and FOMC Meeting.

Australia GDP worse than expected is deteriorating the hopes of a future hawkish RBA behaviour, though Retail Sales were higher than expected.

The Aussie central bank pointed to potential wage growth ahead as it kept rates steady and retail sales came in stronger than expected. Last Australia building approvals better than expected, while private sector credit pared expectations. Australia AIG Manufacturing Index disappointed analysts’ expectations.

RBA’s Lowe said no strong case for near-term change in interest rates but more likely next move in rates is up rather than down. Weakening case for lower rates as the economy picks up.
“Inflation and wage growth remain low. Both are expected to increase only gradually over time,” Governor Phil Lowe said.

We are Bearish from Neutral and we expect a consolidation phase starting around 0.748, after the important break of 0.757 Demand area.
