The headline year-on-year number is expected to show a 0.1% decrease to come in at 1.9% and therefore under the 2% target level which could push forward hopes for rate cuts from the Bank of England, with the next meeting due on the 1<sup>st<\/sup>&nbsp;August. Cable is sitting just under trendline resistance on the hourly charts and the key psychological level at 1.3000 and a higher-than-expected print could see a move higher and a continuation of the recent trend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A result significantly below that expected 1.9% print and lower that the 3.4% Core CPI number would see the pound drop back into recent ranges against the dollar and shake out some of the long positions in the market. Short-term trendline support is coming in around the 1.2930 level with the 200-Day Moving Average below that at 1.2878.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Resistance 2<\/strong> : 1.3125 \u2013 2023 High<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Resistance 1<\/strong> : 1.3000 \u2013 Trendline Resistance and Key Psych Level<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Support 1<\/strong> : 1.2930 \u2013 Trendline Support<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Support 2<\/strong> : 1.2878 \u2013 200 Day Moving Average<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.icmarkets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Cable-Hourly-4.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"581\" src=\"https:\/\/www.icmarkets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Cable-Hourly-4-1024x581.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-70946\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.icmarkets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Cable-Hourly-4-1024x581.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.icmarkets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Cable-Hourly-4-300x170.png 300w, https:\/\/www.icmarkets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Cable-Hourly-4-768x435.png 768w, https:\/\/www.icmarkets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Cable-Hourly-4.png 1053w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sterling traders are closely watching today\u2019s key CPI data release later [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":70947,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[462],"tags":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.icmarkets.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/70945"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.icmarkets.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.icmarkets.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.icmarkets.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.icmarkets.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=70945"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.icmarkets.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/70945\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":70950,"href":"https:\/\/www.icmarkets.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/70945\/revisions\/70950"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.icmarkets.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/70947"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.icmarkets.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=70945"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.icmarkets.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=70945"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.icmarkets.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=70945"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
