Weakness in GBP/USD led by the Bank of England – OCBC

The Pound Sterling (GBP) experienced a fall after the Bank of England (BoE) Governor Bailey made unexpected comments about adopting a more aggressive easing stance. The pair was last seen at 1.3165 levels, according to OCBC’s FX analysts Frances Cheung and Christopher Wong. Bailey mentioned in an interview with the Guardian that the BoE could potentially become ‘a bit more aggressive’ and ‘a bit more activist’ in its approach to cutting rates if inflation news continued to be positive. This change in stance is a departure from the previous Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) meeting in September, where policymakers emphasized the need for policy to remain restrictive for a ‘sufficiently long’ period.

Following Bailey’s remarks, there has been a shift in the market sentiment towards a more dovish outlook, dampening the bullish sentiment towards the GBP. This change has led to a flip in daily momentum towards bearish territory, with the Relative Strength Index (RSI) also showing a decline. As a result, the tactical bias has switched to selling on rallies for the time being. Key levels to watch include resistance at 1.3230 (21-day Moving Average) and 1.3430, as well as support at 1.3080 (50-day Moving Average) and 1.30 levels. The possibility of a more aggressive easing stance by the BoE can continue to impact the GBP’s performance until the next MPC meeting.

The unexpected comments by BoE Governor Bailey have fueled speculation about a potential shift in the central bank’s monetary policy towards a more accommodative stance. This change in tone has caught the market by surprise, leading to a re-pricing of dovish expectations and resulting in a decline in the GBP. The impact of Bailey’s statements is reflected in the bearish turn in daily momentum and the fall in the RSI, signaling a shift in sentiment towards selling on rallies. The focus is now on key levels such as 1.3230 and 1.3430 for resistance, and 1.3080 and 1.30 for support, as traders navigate the uncertainty surrounding the BoE’s future policy decisions.

In light of the recent developments, market participants are likely to remain cautious and monitor any further comments or actions by the BoE closely. The potential for the central bank to adopt a more aggressive easing stance could continue to weigh on the GBP, affecting its performance in the near term. Traders are advised to pay attention to key technical levels and be prepared for increased volatility in the currency markets as the uncertainty surrounding the BoE’s next steps persists. Overall, the outlook for the Pound Sterling remains uncertain, as the market adjusts to the evolving monetary policy landscape and its implications for the currency’s value.

As traders navigate the shifting landscape in the foreign exchange market, the focus remains on the potential impact of the BoE’s recent comments and the central bank’s future policy decisions. The unexpected shift in tone by Governor Bailey has raised concerns among market participants, leading to increased uncertainty and volatility in the GBP. With daily momentum turning bearish and the RSI falling, traders are advised to adopt a cautious approach and be prepared for further downside in the currency. The key resistance and support levels provide important reference points for traders to monitor as they seek to navigate the changing dynamics in the GBP market. Ultimately, the impact of the BoE’s more aggressive easing stance will continue to shape the performance of the Pound Sterling in the coming sessions.
