The Bank of England left rates on hold this month at 4.0%<\/strong>, but the tone of the meeting was unmistakably dovish<\/strong>. The 5\u20134 vote split underscores just how divided the Monetary Policy Committee is\u2014and how much now depends on Governor Andrew Bailey\u2019s<\/strong> stance heading into December.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bailey\u2019s comments after the meeting were telling: while he acknowledged September\u2019s encouraging inflation data, he emphasized that it\u2019s just one data point. Yet, his increasing sympathy with the dovish camp\u2014who see the risks to inflation as now balanced<\/strong>\u2014suggests he\u2019s preparing to vote for a rate cut next month<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With two inflation prints and the Autumn Budget<\/strong> still to come, the data flow will likely confirm the BoE\u2019s shift toward easing. The Bank itself expects headline CPI to fall toward 3.5%<\/strong>, even as food inflation remains sticky. On the fiscal side, the Treasury\u2019s apparent commitment to front-loaded tax hikes<\/strong> (~\u00a315bn per year) adds another dovish layer, reinforcing the likelihood of a December rate cut<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Markets seem to agree. Sonia futures<\/strong> rallied 4\u20135bps at the short end, Gilts steepened bullishly<\/strong>, and Sterling softened modestly<\/strong>, reflecting the market\u2019s view that the BoE\u2019s terminal rate could fall to 3.25% by next summer<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

GBP\/USD Technical Reaction<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Today\u2019s GBP\/USD<\/strong> chart reflects that dovish shift perfectly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As shown in the Elliott Wave<\/a> structure above, the pair has likely\u00a0completed a double complex correction (W\u2013X\u2013Y)<\/strong>within a broad descending channel. The latest leg lower\u2014wave\u00a0(y)<\/strong>\u2014appears to have found support around\u00a01.3050<\/strong>, coinciding with the lower channel boundary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Momentum indicators, such as the\u00a0RSI<\/a> (14)<\/strong>\u00a0hovering near\u00a033<\/strong>, signal that the pair is entering\u00a0oversold territory<\/strong>, increasing the odds of a\u00a0short-term bullish reversal<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the structure holds, GBP\/USD could now be primed for a corrective rebound<\/strong> or even the start of a new impulsive recovery wave<\/strong>, targeting the 1.3350\u20131.3450<\/strong> zone initially. A sustained break above 1.3500<\/strong> would confirm that the market has turned the page on its correction and is transitioning into a new bullish phase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Outlook<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Fundamentally, the stars are aligning for a December rate cut, which should keep the macro backdrop dovish<\/strong> for the pound in the near term. However, given the scale of the correction and growing expectations of easing already priced in, GBP\/USD may not have much more downside left<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Technically and sentiment-wise, this could mark the inflection point for a medium-term turnaround<\/strong>\u2014especially if next week\u2019s inflation data comes in softer and Governor Bailey cements his dovish bias.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
