GBP/USD Price Analysis: Bears can ignore pullback beyond 1.2800

GBP/USD retraces from the lowest in one week to regain 1.2800.
Bearish MACD, monthly falling trend line keeps the sellers hopeful.
Two-month-old horizontal support becomes the key, 1.3010/15 adds to the upside barriers.

GBP/USD bounces off an intraday low of 1.2803 to 1.2817 during Tuesday’s Asian session. In doing so, the Cable traders trim the previous day’s losses.

However, bearish MACD pushes the buyer to take entries only on the break of a descending trend line from September 01, currently around 1.2930.

It should also be noted that a confluence of 38.2% Fibonacci retracement of June-September upside and 50-day SMA around 1.3010/15 will challenge the bulls afterward.

Meanwhile, a horizontal area comprising July 21 top and the monthly low, between 1.2762 and 1.2767, provides crucial support to the pair.

Also acting as downside barriers are the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level and July 09 high, respectively close to 1.2720 and 1.2670.

EUR/USD struggles near 1.1850, with all eyes on US CPI data

EUR/USD holds losses while keeping its range near 1.1850 in European trading on Friday. A broadly cautious market environment paired with a steady US Dollar undermines the pair ahead of the critical US CPI data. Meanwhile, the Eurozone Q4 GDP second estimate has little to no impact on the Euro.

The outlook will play a key role in influencing the near-term US Dollar price dynamics and provide some meaningful impetus to the non-yielding bullion.

US CPI data set to show modest inflation cooling as markets price in a more hawkish Fed

The US Bureau of Labor Statistics will publish January’s Consumer Price Index data on Friday, delayed by the brief and partial United States government shutdown. The report is expected to show that inflationary pressures eased modestly but also remained above the Federal Reserve’s 2% target.
