On April 26, UBS said that the current market thinking is consistent with the banks basic forecast, that is, tariffs will be reduced from the current announced level for the rest of the year, and the Federal Reserve will further cut interest rates this year. However, as uncertainty in trade, economy and Federal Reserve policy remains high, expected volatility also remains high. However, UBS believes that the US stock market is attractive, and the S&P 500 index target continues to be 5,800 points by the end of the year. UBSs current basic forecast is that the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates by 75 to 100 basis points this year, but in the short term, the Feds policy flexibility seems more limited because it must balance concerns about economic growth with the risk of inflation recovery.According to AFP: Senior officials said that Ukrainian President Zelensky and US President Trump may meet in Rome.Spokesman for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has arrived in Rome to attend the Popes funeral.According to the Ukrainian National News Agency: Russian troops launched 414 attacks in the Zaporizhia region at night.Market news: Ukrainian President Zelensky and his wife arrived in Rome.

GBP/USD Price Analysis: Targets a Breakout above 1.2100 from the Descending Triangle

In the Asian session, the GBP/USD pair is doing poorly due to investors' reluctance to acquire substantial positions due to the holiday market sentiment. The Cable is fluctuating within a 10-pip band below 1.2060 and will likely continue to do so in the foreseeable future.

 

Following a decline to approximately 103.50, the US Dollar Index (DXY) has attempted a recovery. As risk appetite improved on Thursday, the USD Index witnessed a big fall. The yield on 10-year US Treasury bonds slipped below 3.83 percent during early trading.

 

The Cable is building speed in anticipation of an hourly breakout from the chart pattern of a Descending Triangle. The major currency is hovering near the downward-sloping trendline drawn from the high of December 19 at 1.2242, while the horizontal support of the previously described chart pattern is placed at the low of December 22 at 1.1992.

 

The pair is trading above the 20-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA) above 1.2050, indicating a strong near-term rise.

 

A consolidation is coming as the Relative Strength Index (RSI) (14) oscillates between 40.00 and 60.00. A breakout of the bullish zone between 60.00 and 80.00 will trigger bullish momentum.

 

Should the Cable firmly surpass the high of 1.2112 on December 27, Pound Sterling bulls would drive the asset to the high of 1.2189 on December 21, followed by the high of 1.2242 on December 19.

 

In contrast, a significant slide below the low of December 22 at 1.1992 will cause the Descending Triangle to collapse and drag the Cable to the low of November 29 at 1.1940. A breach below this level would expose the pound to more weakness near the low reached on November 30 around 1.1900.
