l remains uninterrupted through the mid-European session and drags spot prices back closer to the weekly low, around the 1.2035 region in the last hour.
The British Pound weakens across the board in reaction to softer-than-expected UK consumer inflation figures. This comes on the back of a dovish assessment of the Bank of England's policy decision and suggests that the current rate-hiking cycle might be nearing the end. Apart from this, a strong follow-through buying around the US Dollar contributes to the GBP/USD pair's steep intraday decline of nearly 150 pips.

The bets were lifted by the US CPI report and hawkish comments by several FOMC members on Tuesday. Adding to this, the prevalent risk-off mood - as depicted by a generally weaker tone around the equity markets - further underpins the safe-haven buck.
With the latest leg down, the GBP/USD pair reverses its weekly gains and seems poised to depreciate further. Some follow-through selling below the weekly low, around the 1.2030 area, will reaffirm the negative bias. This, in turn, should pave the way for a slide further below the 1.2000 psychological mark, towards challenging a technically significant 200-day SMA support, which is currently pegged near the 1.1935 region.
