Be it recession fears or the UK’s political crisis, GBPUSD has to bear it all as it dropped to the lowest level since March 2020. However, the cable pair appears to have a limited downside room before hitting the key supports. That said, a nearly oversold RSI and a falling wedge bullish chart pattern near the multi-month low also tease buyers to take the risk. It...
GBPUSD fades bounce off yearly low as the cable traders await the UK and the US preliminary PMIs for June. Bearish MACD signals and steady RSI also backs the downside bias. That being said, May’s low of 1.2155 and the 1.2000 psychological magnet can act as immediate supports ahead of the latest trough surrounding 1.1933. In a case where the pair sellers dominate...
GBPUSD fades the corrective pullback from a two-year low, as well as the 61.8% FE level of late March-May moves. Also supporting the bounce was the oversold RSI condition. However, the Bank of England’s (BOE) looming rate hike keeps buyers on their toes due to the “Old Lady’s” previous failures to impress. That said, the recovery moves currently need a clear...
A clear downside break of the six-week-old horizontal support keeps GBPUSD bears hopeful of further south-run ahead of the US Federal Reserve (Fed) and the Bank of England (BOE) monetary policy meetings. That said, 1.2255-50 appears immediate support for the cable ahead of the yearly low surrounding 1.2150. It’s worth noting, however, that the quote’s sustained...
GBPUSD remains guarded, despite all the difficulties, ahead of the preliminary readings of UK Q1 2022 GDP. In doing so, the cable pair portrays a falling wedge bullish chart pattern at the lowest levels since June 2020. Given the likelihood of firmer UK growth numbers and anticipated positive news from Brexit, not to forget the wedge near multi-month low, the...
GBPUSD stays near the two-year low, despite the post-Fed rebound, as cable traders brace for the Bank of England’s (BOE) 0.25% rate hike. Given the latest hawkish moves from the RBA and the Fed, the “Old Lady’s” heavier-than-expected measures to tame inflation won’t be a surprise. In that case, the pair will witness the much-awaited rebound from the 61.8%...
GBPUSD extends pullback from 1.3090 ahead of the key UK data, as well as a speech from the BOE Governor Andrew Bailey, during early Friday. The downside bias also gains support from the sluggish RSI and MACD, which in turn suggests the pair’s further weakness towards the support line of a six-week-old triangle, near 1.2990 at the latest. Following that, the...
GBPUSD holds onto recovery moves from 16-month low post FOMC showdown. In doing so, the cable pair remains firmer above a convergence of the 10-DMA and a three-week-long descending trend line, around 1.3120 by the press time. Given the RSI rebound supporting the latest run-up of the pair, it will attract more bids on successfully crossing December 2021 bottom...

GBPUSD bears flex muscles inside the one-month-old symmetrical triangle, recently easing from the resistance. Although downbeat RSI and MACD signals keep sellers hopeful of breaking the stated triangle’s support line, around 1.3550 at the latest, a convergence of the 100-DMA and the 50-DMA highlights the 1.3500 threshold as strong support. Even if the cable pair...
GBPUSD keeps pullback from 200-DMA and 78.6% Fibonacci retracement (Fibo.) of September-December 2021 downside around a short-term crucial support convergence near 1.3540-35, including 100-DMA and 50% Fibo with eyes on monthly UK PMI data. That said, recently upbeat UK economics renews BOE rate hike concerns, which in turn could trigger the pair’s bounce from the...
GBPUSD bears retake controls on the key Thursday comprising Bank of England (BOE) monetary policy meeting and important Brexit talks in Paris. Technical set-up hints at further weakness on the pair’s inability to rise past 50-DMA, coupled with the bearish MACD signals. However, a clear downside break of a five-week-long support line, near 1.3615, becomes...
With downbeat UK inflation figures pouring cold water on the face of BOE hawks, GBPUSD eases from 100-DMA, consolidating the previous day’s gains below 1.3800. For now, the 1.3700 mark, comprising multiple levels marked since late September, question the pair’s further weakness.

GBPUSD bears the burden of the US dollar rebound and the pre-BOE anxiety during the early Super Thursday. Although the Bank of England (BOE) policymakers aren’t expected to alter monetary policy, the widely anticipated dovish tilt in contrast to the Fed’s tapering woes seems to weigh on the quote of late. Even so, the bullish chart pattern keeps buyers hopeful....
After cheering the Fed-led run-up the previous day, GBPUSD bulls catch a breather below a three-week-old resistance line. However, a confluence of 50-day SMA and yearly support line, coupled with upbeat oscillators signals the pair’s further upside past-1.3990 immediate hurdle. Additionally, wide expectations of the BOE’s disappointment contrast Governor Andrew...
GBPUSD refreshes a two-week low on the key “Super Thursday” dominated by the Bank of England’s (BOE) quarterly moves. With the increased hopes of BOE’s hawkish comments, based on the UK’s vaccinations, GBPUSD may bounce off the key SMA support. However, the weekly resistance line near 1.3650 could restrict further recovery moves before recalling the 1.3700...
