  • GBP/USD declined on Monday as sterling was weighted down ahead of Thursday's first Bank of England meeting of 2017.
     
  • The BoE is widely expected to revise up its short-term growth and inflation forecasts following reassuring recent UK data, but the uncertainty surrounding soon-to-start Brexit negotiations is expected to keep it cautious.
     
  • Further upside for this pair is expected to be limited as strong resistance level at 1.2663 is set to limit upside and bring decline towards lower levels I the short term.
     
  • To the upside, immediate resistance can be seen at 1.2573, a break above this level would expose the cable to next resistance level at 1.2600 levels.
     
  • To the downside strong support can be seen at 1.2481, a break below at this level will open the door towards next level at 1.2414.
