Overview
Sterling’s macro backdrop has cooled from the summer’s momentum, with UK CPI stuck at 3.8% year-on-year and inflation expectations rising in October, a mix that keeps the Bank of England cautious about cutting too quickly even as growth slows. Recent BoE communications framed policy as on a gradual downward path but warned against over-interpreting any change in wording, which leaves rate-differential support for GBP limited while not outright bearish.
Against that, the dollar has stabilized after the Fed’s late-October cut, with DXY rotating just under 100 rather than trending lower, enough to blunt sterling rallies absent a positive UK surprise. Intraday, Reuters marked cable around 1.3190 today, consistent with a market fading strength toward prior tops while the dollar finds a floor.
Market sentiment
Risk appetite is orderly rather than euphoric, with the VIX hovering near ~21 on 17/11, a level that neither forces a dash into the dollar nor reliably sustains high-beta FX breakouts.
Positioning has shifted toward opportunistic dollar buying on dips as traders respect the 99–100 DXY shelf and monitor the backlog of U.S. data; for GBP specifically, the absence of a hawkish BoE impulse and still-elevated UK inflation expectations argue for fading sterling strength into resistance until either DXY weakens decisively or UK data surprise to the upside.
Technical analysis
The short-term structure tilts bearish. Price action has been stalling at or just under the Bollinger mid-line after failing to sustain above the upper band in the 1.3200–1.3220 pocket, preserving a sequence of lower intraday highs that typically resolves into fresh lower-band tests if the mid-line keeps capping rebounds.
On Ichimoku, price is rotating beneath or into the underside of the M15 cloud with Tenkan ≤ Kijun, turning the Kumo into dynamic resistance on pops toward the low-1.32s. Stochastic has rolled over from mid-range; a renewed %K < %D cross from the 50 area on shallow upticks would normally precede another push toward the lower band. With DXY holding firm near the big figure, rallies into the mid-line/cloud zone are vulnerable to rejection.
