FxWirePro: GBP/USD gains some upside after Fed holds rates steady but downside risk remains

  • GBP/USD inched higher on Wednesday after the Federal Reserve said the case has strengthened for a future interest rate increase following a two-day policy meeting.
     
  • U.S. Federal Reserve left interest rates unchanged but strongly signaled it could still tighten monetary policy by the end of this year as the labor market improves further.
     
  • Currently, the pair is trading at 1.3015 levels, it is set to decline further towards 1.2960 and later 1.2900 levels in the short term.
     
  • To the upside, the strong resistance can be seen at 1.3160, a break above this level would expose the cable to next resistance level at 1.3200 levels.
     
  • To the downside, strong support can be seen at 1.2945, a break below at this level will open the door towards next level at 1.2873.
