GBP/USD in broadening pattern ahead of BOE vote count!Great Britain Pound vs US DollarTHINKMARKETS:GBPUSDThinkMarketsGBP/USD has pulled back from a double top at 1.3600 to 1.3447, forming a broadening pattern after a 5-wave impulse from 1.3158. Tomorrow's BOE decision, alongside today's FOMC, are the catalysts that decide whether this is a base or the start of a deeper correction. Key topics covered - BOE vote count: The BOE is expected to hold, but the split between hawks, doves, and those voting to cut will determine how markets price the rate outlook. A hawkish skew could support sterling, while a dovish one could prices out the expected pre-December hike. - Broadening pattern: Price has corrected from 1.3600 into a broadening structure, with a false breakdown at 1.3430 holding twice, suggesting a potential base, but the pattern can continue to expand before resolving. - 23.6% Fib cluster at 1.3500: Price is testing this level from below after the false break, with RSI mid-range and room in either direction making the BOE outcome the trigger. Scenarios & trade planBullish — hawkish BOE: If 2-3 MPC members vote for a hike, the false breakdown at 1.3430 could hold and a bullish opportunity might open towards 1.3550 and the 1.3600 double top. A break above 1.3600 could open the door to a double top breakout setup. Bearish — dovish BOE: If no hawks emerge and cuts are on the table, the broadening pattern could extend lower towards the 38.2% Fib at 1.3430, then the 50% Fib at 1.3380 and 61.8% Fib at 1.3330.Is the false breakdown at 1.3430 the base that launches a retest of 1.3600, or does a dovish BOE open the door to a deeper Fibonacci correction?
