Pound gains as the US dollar shrinks on fears of an inflation hike. While the economic data from the rest of the world is considered positive, investors watch the economic data from the US closely as positive data, growing debt, surging inflation alarm investors on interest rate change by the FED.

Despite the lower GDP announced yesterday, higher than expected manufacturing production gives confidence on the economic recovery of the UK. New Coronavirus cases in the UK sank amid several harsh measures taken by the Government, the average number of daily new Covid-19 cases reached August 2020’s lows, while the daily new cases in the US grew and vaccines were questioned for their effectiveness.

With the Covid-19 becoming less weighted, the UK can now completely focus on the full recovery.

GBP/USD daily chart suggests that the British pound could enter into another bullish cycle soon as the pair hits the lower threshold of the ascending parallel channel.

Both indicators RSI and MACD are bullish on a daily chart and the pair has a strong support from MA100.

Double bottom pattern on the 4H GBP/USD chart also suggests that the pair should continue the uptrend.

The first resistance to test lies at £1.38660 which is a decisive level where a local dynamic resistance is located. If the resistance withholds, GBP may retrace to £1.36550, though if GBP is able to break the £1.38660, we might witness another bullish run and tests of resistances at £1.39885 and £1.41780.

Bullish continuation of the Pound will be supported by a weaker Dollar. Not only the inflation hikes but the growing tension between the US and China may weaken the US Dollar Index.
