GBPUSD recovery remains unconvincing ahead of UK inflationGBPUSD holds onto the recovery from an early February rebound from a three-month-old ascending support line, staying beyond the 100-day EMA to lure more bids. Adding strength to the upside bias is the upward-sloping RSI (14) line and the recently upbeat MACD signals. However, the previous support from early November, near 1.2265, acts as an immediate hurdle to challenge the bulls. Following that, a horizontal area comprising multiple tops marked since December, near 1.2450, appears crucial for the Cable buyers to tighten the holds, a break of which could propel prices towards May 2022 peak surrounding 1.2665. On the flip side, the 100-day EMA level surrounding 1.2040 and the 1.2000 psychological magnet challenge short-term pullbacks of the GBPUSD. That said, a clear downside break of the 1.2000 mark needs validation from the aforementioned support line from November 17, close to 1.1965 at the latest, to convince bears. In a case where the quote remains weak past 1.1965, the odds of witnessing a slump towards January’s low near 1.1840 and the mid-November 2022 bottom surrounding 1.1760 can’t be ruled out. Overall, GBPUSD remains on the bear’s radar despite the latest run-up, which in turn highlights today’s UK Consumer Price Index (CPI) for clear directions.

GBPUSD reverses from 200-SMA ahead of UK GDPGBPUSD pares the early-week recovery from 78.6% Fibonacci retracement of January 06-23 upside while taking a U-turn from the 200-SMA hurdle. The pullback also take justifies the downbeat RSI and MACD conditions, suggesting further declines towards 61.8% and 78.6% Fibonacci retracement levels, around 1.2070 and 1.1970 in that order. It’s worth noting, however, that the GBP/USD pair’s weakness below 1.1970 will make it vulnerable to drop toward the previous monthly low of near 1.1840. Alternatively, a successful break of the aforementioned key SMA hurdle surrounding 1.2190 isn’t an open invitation to the GBPUSD buyers. That said, the 1.2200 and late January swing low around 1.2265 could challenge the Cable buyers before the three-week-old resistance line of 1.2370. In a case where the quote remains firmer past 1.2370, the two-month-long horizontal area around 1.2440-50 appears a tough nut to crack for the bulls. To sum up, GBPUSD braces for the key UK Q4 GDP which is likely to disappoint.

Pound Pushing PThe GBP/USD pair builds on Friday's solid recovery from a six-week low and gains strong follow-through traction for the second successive day. The momentum lifts spot prices to a two-and-half-week high, around the 1.2170 area during the first half of the European session and is sponsored by the prevalent US Dollar selling bias. From a technical perspective the break above the December 28 highs at 1.2125, the last key lower high in the corrective move down from the December 14 peak, marks an important turning point as it could suggest a reversal higher and that Cable's three-week yuletide correction is at an end. It probably means the medium-term uptrend which started in September has restarted and prices will now continue rising.

GBPUSD bulls need to cross 1.2450 to keep the reinsGBPUSD regains upside momentum, after a soft start to the week, as the Cable traders await the UK PMIs for January. It’s worth noting that the bullish MACD signals favor the latest upside but the RSI is nearly overbought, which in turn highlights the six-week-old horizontal resistance area surrounding 1.2450. Should the firmer British activity data allow the quote to cross the 1.2450 hurdle, the 61.8% Fibonacci Expansion (FE) of its November 2022 to January 2023 moves, near 1.2650, will be in focus. It’s worth noting that the May 2022 peak surrounding 1.2660 could challenge the pair buyers afterward. Alternatively, the 1.2300 and the 1.2200 round figures could entertain the GBPUSD sellers during the pair’s pullback. However, the 1.2000 psychological magnet can restrict the Cable pair’s further downside. In a case where the quote remains weak past 1.2000, the 100-EMA level surrounding 1.1980 and the monthly low of 1.1840 will gain the market’s attention as the last defense of the pair buyers. Overall, GBPUSD remains on the buyer’s radar ahead of the key UK data but the upside room appears limited.

GBPUSD fades bounce off 100-day EMA ahead of key UK dataGBPUSD bulls are struggling to keep the reins as traders await crucial British economics scheduled during the week, starting with the UK jobs report. That being said, a retreat in the RSI and sluggish MACD joined the recent softness in prices to signal the Cable pair’s pullback towards the 1.2000 psychological magnet, a break of which could quickly drag the quote to the 100-day EMA surrounding 1.1930. In a case where the pair remains bearish past 1.1930, tops marked during September and October 2022, respectively around 1.1735 and 1.1645, could act as the last defense of the buyers. Alternatively, GBPUSD buyers need to cross a downward-sloping resistance line from late March 2022, close to 1.2350, to convince markets. Following that, the late 2022 peak surrounding 1.2445 might probe the bulls before directing them to the 78.6% Fibonacci retracement level of the pair’s March-September downturn, around 1.2665. Should the Cable pair remains firmer past 1.2665, multiple lows marked during early April near 1.2975 and the 1.3000 round figure might test the upside moves ahead of highlighting March 2022 peak near 1.3200. Overall, GBPUSD is at an interesting place in the chart where bulls and bears are mostly equal, which in turn highlights this week’s data for clear directions.

GBPUSD holds onto bullish bias targeting 1.2450GBPUSD retreats from a one-month-old broad resistance area surrounding 1.2210-40 as the Cable traders brace for the UK data dump on Friday. The quote’s sustained trading beyond the convergence of the 50-SMA and 100-SMA, around 1.2070-65 at the latest, joins upbeat oscillators to keep the pair buyers hopeful of overcoming the key horizontal resistance zone. Following that, the previous monthly high surrounding 1.2450 could lure the bulls. It should be noted, however, that the pair’s successful trading above 1.2450 enables the bulls to aim for the 61.8% Fibonacci Expansion (FE) level of the pair’s moves between November 2022 and early January 2023, close to 1.2645. Meanwhile, GBPUSD sellers will need a clear downside break of the aforementioned SMA confluence, near 1.2070-65, for conviction. In that case, the 1.2000 psychological magnet and the monthly low of 1.1841 should lure the bears. If at all the Cable pair remains bearish past 1.1841, a downward trajectory towards the 50% and 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level of the quote’s November-December 2022 moves, near 1.1800 and 1.1645 respectively, can be expected. Overall, GBPUSD is likely to remain on the front foot unless the price stays beyond 1.2065 levels.
