GBP/USD Risks Bullish Breakout on Strong U.K. Retail Sales ReportThursday, Jul 23, 2015 7:00 am ASTBy David Song, Currency Analyst And Shuyang Ren [/url] - U.K. Retail Sales to Increase for Fifth Consecutive Month in March.- Will Faster Private-Sector Consumption Encourage BoE to Sounds More Hawkish?Trading the News: U.K. Retail SalesAnother 0.4% expansion in U.K. Retail Sales may heighten the appeal of the British Pound and prompt a near-term breakout in [url=http://www.dailyfx.com/gbp-usd]GBP/USD as it puts increased pressure on the Bank of England (BoE) to normalize monetary policy sooner rather than later.What’s Expected:[img class=gsstx img-responsive src=https://media.dailyfx.com/illustrations/2015/07/22/GBPUSD-Risks-Bullish-Breakout-on-Strong-U.K.-Retail-Sales-Report_body_ScreenShot315.png]Click Here for the DailyFX CalendarWhy Is This Event Important:The more hawkish BoE Minutes suggest that the central bank remains on course to raise the benchmark interest rate off of the record-low, and signs of a stronger U.K. recovery may spur a larger dissent within the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) as a growing number of BoE officials see a greater risk for inflation.

May 2015 U.K. Retail Sales[img class=gsstx img-responsive src=https://media.dailyfx.com/illustrations/2015/07/22/GBPUSD-Risks-Bullish-Breakout-on-Strong-U.K.-Retail-Sales-Report_body_Capture.png]U.K. Retail Sales unexpectedly increased another 0.2% in May following a revised 0.8% expansion the month prior. The pickup was largely driven by increased demand for Household Goods, while consumers scaled back discretionary spending on Clothing and Footwear. Even though the Bank of England (BoE) largely endorses a wait-and-see approach, signs of a stronger U.K. recovery may put increased pressure on the central bank to normalize policy sooner rather than later as Governor Mark Carney remains confident in achieving the 2% inflation target over the policy horizon. The initial market reaction was short-lived, with GBP/USD struggling to hold above the 1.5900 handle, with the pair consolidating throughout the North American session to end the day

Prev Articles
- Need green, five-minute candle following the release to consider a long British Pound trade.
- If market reaction favors bullish sterling trade, buy GBP/USD with two separate position.
- Set stop at the near-by swing low/reasonable distance from entry; look for at least 1:1 risk-to-reward.
- Move stop to entry on remaining position once initial target is hit, set reasonable limit.
- Need red, five-minute candle to favor a short GBP/USD trade.
- Implement same setup as the bullish British Pound trade, just in opposite direction.
- Lack of momentum to close above 1.5630 (38.2% retracement) to 1.5650 (38.2% retracement) may continue to foster range-bound prices in GBP/USD as the pair remains stuck within a wedge/triangle formation.
- The DailyFX Speculative Sentiment Index (SSI) shows the retail crowd remains net-long following the BoE Minute, but the ratio has come off of recent extremes as it sits at +1.45 as 59% of traders are long.
- Interim Resistance: 1.5750 (23.6% retracement) to 1.5780 (38.2% retracement)
- Interim Support: 1.5330 (78.6% retracement) to 1.5350 (50% retracement)
