Looking at GBP/USD levels ahead of BOE rate decision

Short
FX:GBPUSD   British Pound / U.S. Dollar
The dollar index rose on Friday after unexpectedly firm U.S. jobs data and Michigan sentiment sent Treasury yields flying as traders pruned bets on rapid Fed rate cuts next year, with focus now turning to next week's inflation reports and Fed's final 2023 meeting. Tuesday we have the UK unemployment rate. Together with US Core inflation AND CPI. The BOE Interest rate decision due on Thursday is expected to be unchanged.

The weekly chart shows cable has been in a long-term down move since 2007 and offers a lot of resistance above 1.3000. Near term the market has seen repeated failure at 1.2725 and ahead of these numbers we expect the market to remain on the defensive.
