British Pound Futures (6B1!), H4 Potential for Bullish Momentum
Type : Bullish Rise
Resistance : 1.2286
Pivot: 1.2161
Support : 1.2047
Preferred Case: On the H4, with icpre moving along the ascending trendline and above ichimoku cloud, we have a bullish bias the price may rise from the pivot at 1.2161, where the 23.6% fibonacci retracement is to 1st resistance at 1.2286, which is in line with the 78.6% fibonacci retracement.
Alternative scenario: Alternatively, price could drop to the 1st support at 1.2047, which is in line with 50% fibonacci retracement.
Fundamentals: The interest rate in the UK is at 1.25% with the recent rate increases from the BoE failing to have an impact on slowing inflation growth, as the UK CPI stands at 9.1%, a 4-decade high. The BoE is under pressure to take on a more aggressive approach in setting future policy rates. Gov Bailey indicated that the BoE could increase interest rates by 50bps as it attempts to address the issue of persistent inflation.
