GBP/USD Technical Analysis: GBP/USD trading near 1.3125 post-FOMC
- GBP/USD is staying supported above the 1.3100 level as the FOMC statement maintains the target interest rate in 1.75-2.00%.
- GBP/USD keeps the trading range theme intact ahead of the Bank of England Super Thursday.
- GBP/USD bulls will set their eyes on the 1.3200 in an attempt to reverse the multi-month bear trend while bears will try to drive the market below the 1.3100 level in order to resume the bear trend. Both parties are in equilibrium as market participants are expecting that the Bank of England will deliver the only rate hike in 2018.
