GBPUSD spikes higher on BOE Pill’s comments… he sounded cautious over an August rate cut but didn’t give any clear signal…thin market reaction but a reaction nonetheless
Euro metrics do not have the same robustness this morning as Sterling, they are a mix with a slight bid climate, so it could easily retain the existing overall sell cycle, which remains intact to this point today.
Internals showing AudJpy wants to go over the figure, time will tell. Interestingly the sell cycle in Sterling remains intact but internals are a scorching bid, so either Sterling breaks uphill strongly today or tomorrow and establishes a new buy cycle with higher full figure prints targeting 2900 + or continues to decline toward 2780. Perhaps consider the offer around 2900/10.
Add the Parallel lines based on your Support line , as I did it.
Draw that resistance line you see on my chart and place it at today’s Top – if it holds, we’ll have a pretty clear picture – if not, repeat the process on the next Top Stop ( when it happens )
Now look how that Resistance line fits in past performance – so that Angle is a Correct one !

A look at the day ahead in U.S. and global markets from Mike Dolan
Even if U.S. inflation remains too irksome for the Federal Reserve to sound the all clear, there’s much less trepidation overseas.
Fed chair Jerome Powell gave little away in Tuesday’s congressional testimony, remaining coy about the timing of a first interest rate cut as the price picture remains murky but also doffing his cap to a softening jobs market.
