GBP/USD Technical Analysis: Cable back below 1.3400 ahead of UK inflation and FOMC on Wednesday

  • GBP/USD stuck to the theme of the last four days as Tuesday was another trading range day. The last news-driven leg up that sent Cable above 1.3400 has already been mostly retraced. 
  • The only thing that is keeping GBP/USD afloat are the 50 and 100-period simple moving average (4-hour) just below current spot rate.
  • This Wednesday will see UK inflation data at 8:30 GMT and FOMC at 18:00 GMT. Investors should expect high volatility.
