Dear friends,
Currently, the British Pound (GBP) is stuck in a narrow range as investors seem reluctant to establish new positions before the release of the UK's third-quarter Gross Domestic Product (GDP) data, which is scheduled for Friday at 07:00 GMT. The GBP/USD pair is still struggling as the Q3 GDP report will shape the monetary policy outlook for the Bank of England (BoE) in December.
From the 4-hour chart, we can see that the price has broken out of the upward channel, resulting in a significant price increase. At the time of writing, the price is trading around 1.2272, after retreating from 1.2430. Therefore, it is likely that GBP/USD will continue to move lower in the short term during this weekend session.
