Today, GBPUSD continues its upward momentum, trading around 1.2612, as the U.S. dollar (USD) struggles amid declining Treasury yields. This comes despite persistent caution regarding the Federal Reserve's monetary policy outlook, with the focus now shifting to the FOMC meeting minutes, set to be released later in the North American session.
However, on Tuesday, San Francisco Fed President Mary Daly noted that while the U.S. economy remains strong, the outlook for rate cuts in 2025 is still uncertain. Meanwhile, Philadelphia Fed President Patrick Harker emphasized the need for stable interest rate policies, citing ongoing concerns about inflation. This stance has somewhat capped GBPUSD's upside potential despite its current bullish trend.
My strategy is to focus on the key channel boundaries to identify optimal buy or sell opportunities. If the channel is broken, I will wait for a retest of the breakout before entering new trades.
