GBP/USD Capped by Downward-Sloping Trendline Near $1.3470

The British pound's recovery against the US dollar remains capped by a downward-sloping trendline near $1.3470, which has consistently limited upside attempts in recent sessions.

Technical indicators suggest that a break above this level could open the door for further gains, while failure to overcome it may lead to renewed selling pressure.

The resistance level is not just a technical artifact; it reflects the broader market sentiment toward the pound. Recent UK economic data has influenced expectations for Bank of England policy, and the US dollar's strength, driven by Federal Reserve rate hike expectations, has added to the pair’s downward pressure.
