FxWirePro: GBP/USD runs out of steam but maintains bullish outlook

• GBP/USD eased slightly  on Wednesday  after scaling three-month peak as investors booked profits ahead of Christmas holiday.

• Sterling rose to three month high on Tuesday as  dovish Fed outlook pressured the dollar, with the DXY sliding to its lowest since Oct 3.

• The greenback has also been battered by chaotic Trump tariffs and worries about growing political influence over the Fed.

• Markets still expect two quarter-point cuts by end-2026, but the probability of a January move eased to 13% from 18%

• Meanwhile, trading volumes are expected to remain thin heading into the holidays, as many markets are either shut or operating on reduced hours on Christmas Eve.

•   Immediate resistance is located at 1.3537(38.2%fib), any close above will push the pair towards 1.3569(Higher BB)

•  Strong support is seen at 1.3433(50%fib) and break below could take the pair towards 1.3357(SMA 20).

  Recommendation: Good to buy around 1.3500, with stop loss of 1.3430 and target price of 1.3580.
