GBP/USD Weekly uptrend opportunity based on 1.00 Lot Calculation:

  • EVENT: Wednesday, January 26, 19:30 GMT – The US Federal Reserve press conference after the regular monetary policy meeting. The benchmark 10-year US Treasury bond yield is in retreat today, forcing the dollar to stay under bearish pressure. The Fed may stay a little more dovish than expected regarding its monetary outlook as the stock market sell-off may push the Fed officials to adopt a more cautious stance.
  • The Bank of England is widely expected to raise its interest rate on the next meeting scheduled for February 3, due to accelerating inflation in the UK. Today, the official figures showed that inflation in 2021 was 5.4% vs. 5.2% forecast.
  • The pound’s (latest) strengthening is also linked to the fact that the number of Covid-19 infections is in decline and rumors are that the country may abolish all pandemic measures soon.
