GBP/USD Outlook: Mild Reaction On UK Jobs/Earnings Data Keeps Pound At Familiar Levels

Cable remains under daily cloud top (currently at 1.3108) following mild reaction on UK jobs data.

Unemployment remains unchanged in Feb (3.9%), employment in three months to Feb came slightly above expectations (179K vs 173K f/c) but stronger than expected jobless claims (Mar 28.3K vs 20K f/c) offset positive impact.

The most significant average earnings remained unchanged and in line with forecast (3.5%).

The pair remains within multi-day congestion that stays capped by daily cloud top, with scenario supported by flat daily indicators and absence of Brexit news in holiday-shortened and lower-volumes week, maintaining sideways mode.

Daily cloud top / Fibo 38.2% of 1.3381/1.2977 (1.3108/16) mark pivotal barriers, break of which is needed to generate initial bullish signal.

Conversely, dip below near-term congestion floor at 1.3040 zone would generate initial negative signal and expose key support at 1.2972 (200SMA).

Res: 1.3108, 1.3116, 1.3134, 1.3179
Sup: 1.3072, 1.3042, 1.3030, 1.2972
