The GBP/USD pair is currently navigating a challenging market environment, with the pair trading below the 1.2650 level. The pair is under selling pressure due to the hawkish outlook of the Federal Reserve and the strengthening of the US dollar. The pair is vulnerable below the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level of the latest uptrend, suggesting a bearish outlook. On the other hand, the British pound is weighed down by concerns about economic headwinds from aggressive policy tightening by the Bank of England (BoE). The market is also concerned about the UK heading towards a recession due to high inflation and soaring interest rates. Speculative buying of the pound has increased at a record rate, which could exacerbate future losses if the market turns. However, the pound could rebound if the current rebound in US exchange rates fizzles out or if the Fed’s preferred measure of core inflation softens further.
