GBP/USD Bearish Setup Takes Shape Amid Fed-BoE Divergence

The recent divergence between the Federal Reserve and the Bank of England is expected to put downward pressure on the British Pound against the US Dollar, according to a bearish trade idea presented by VT Markets.

This divergence is highlighted by growing economic data showing that UK inflation has stabilized near target while the Bank of England maintains a more dovish tone, resulting in the Pound losing its yield advantage against the dollar.

The technical context also supports this view as the GBP/USD pair tests crucial support levels. Institutional non-commercial traders have begun trimming their net-long GBP contracts by over 15% in recent weeks, signaling a shift in market sentiment towards further weakness in sterling.
