GBPUSD: THe GBPUSD is back below its 100 and 200-hour MAs at 1.24098 to 1.24191. The price is back near the swing area and the broken 38.2% of the move up from the January low. That area comes in at 1.23515 and 1.2377.

The Federal Reserve has little choice but to maintain its current stance or consider a more flexible approach to rates, given the potential inflationary impact of tariffs.
