🔹 Market Context

Traders are waiting for the US PCE Price Index today.

Forecasts suggest the data will likely be unchanged from the previous month, which could give the USD slight strength in the short term.

GBPUSD is now trading inside a symmetrical triangle, and PCE may act as the catalyst for the breakout.

Next key support: 1.3340 – 1.3350.
Resistance zones: 1.3550 – 1.3580 and 1.3660.

Scenarios to Watch:
1️⃣ Bullish Setup
If price holds above 1.3430 – 1.3450 and breaks the triangle resistance →
Targets: 1.3550 – 1.3580, then 1.3660 if momentum continues.

2️⃣ Bearish Setup
