The Pound Sterling (GBP) trades in a narrow range against the US Dollar (USD) at 1.2556, ahead of the Bank of England’s (BoE) crucial policy decision on Thursday.

  • BoE Decision in Focus: Investors are cautious as they await the BoE’s monetary policy announcement, which could significantly impact the GBP.
  • Rangebound Trading: GBP/USD remains confined within the 1.2529-1.2594 range, capped by key support and resistance levels.

Technical Analysis: Awaiting Direction

  • The daily chart suggests a neutral bias with upside potential.
  • The Relative Strength Index (RSI) hovers near 50, indicating balanced momentum.
  • A break above 1.2594 (May 6th high) could lead to a test of the 50-day moving average (DMA) at 1.2607 and potentially higher.
  • Conversely, a drop below the 200-DMA (1.2545) could trigger a decline towards 1.2500 and lower.

The GBP/USD’s near-term direction hinges on the BoE’s policy stance and its impact on future interest rate expectations.
