FxWirePro: GBP/USD rises above 1.2600, maintains bullish bias

  • GBP/USD rose on Monday as the dollar declined across the board after U.S. President Donald Trump failed to push through a healthcare reform bill.
     
  • The collapse of the healthcare legislation has raised doubts about Trump's ability to deliver on other key campaign pledges such as tax cuts and massive infrastructure spending.
     
  • GBP/USD has been rising steadily since a Bank of England meeting on March 16 that saw a number of its members swinging towards concern over rising prices and its next move being a rise in interest rates to quell consumer inflation expectations.
     
  • Further downside for this pair is expected to be limited as strong support at 1.2500 is set to limit more downside and push the pair towards higher side.
     
  • To the upside, immediate resistance can be seen at 1.2631, a break above this level would expose the cable to next resistance level at 1.2681 levels.
     
  • To the downside strong support can be seen at 1.2554, a break below at this level will open the door towards next level at 1.2500.
