USD being sold ahead of Fed minutes
The US dollar is being sold in anticipation of dovish Fed minutes. The markets expect policymakers to hint at at a possible delay in the rate hike due to weakness in the economy. The growing dovish expectations are evident from the drop in the US treasury yields. The 10-year yield currently trades 1.4 basis points lower at 2.248%, resulting into USD weakness.
The pair currently trades at 1.555, with eyes set on the 38.2% Fib retracement of 1.7190-1.4564 located at 1.5568.
GBP/USD Technical Levels
The immediate resistance is located at 1.5568, above which the pair could rise to 1.5637 (10-DMA). On the other hand, a break below 1.5517 could send the pair lower to 1.5420 (200-DMA).
