US GDP Surge Spurs USD Recovery, GBP/USD Retreats Below Key
The GBP/USD slid below 1.2500, wiping out much of its daily gains, as the US Dollar staged a robust recovery following the release of the US Gross Domestic Product (GDP) report for Q1, which indicated a sharp increase in inflation. The preliminary GDP index surged by 3.1%, compared to the previous 1.7%. This has fueled expectations that the Federal Reserve will maintain interest rates at restrained levels for a longer period.
When looking at the 4-hour chart, we observe a retracement towards the downtrend. Anticipated that the price will continue to gravitate towards the 0.5-0.618 Fibonacci retracement zone. In the context where technical indicators persist in supporting the downward momentum, the price is likely to continue its descent towards the support area at 1.2300.
