titanfx GBPUSD British Pound Eyeing CPI Report For Next Move

There is a bullish trend line formed on the hourly chart of the GBPUSD pair, which played well and prevented any further losses. However, it looks like the sellers are attempting to clear it, and if they succeed, there is a chance of a move towards the 200 hourly simple moving average.

On the upside, the 100 hourly SMA can be considered as a resistance area for the GBPUSD pair.

UK CONSUMER PRICE INDEX

Later today in the UK, Consumer Price Index, which is a measure of price movements by the comparison between the retail prices of a representative shopping basket of goods and services will be released by the National Statistics.

The forecast is slated for a rise of 0.4% in the CPI in July 2016, compared with the same month a year ago. And in terms of the monthly change, the CPI is forecasted to increase by 0.1%.

Moreover, a few other figures will also be published like the Producer Price Index highlighting a monthly measurement of the price changes of goods produced by UK manufacturers.

Overall, there can be a lot of action during the London session, and the GBPUSD traders must be careful while trading around these important events.
