GBPUSD keeps Fed-inflicted bearish consolidation ahead of BoEGBPUSD remains pressured within a six-week-old descending triangle as market players await the Bank of England’s (BoE) monetary policy announcements. In doing so, the Cable pair justifies the US Federal Reserve’s (Fed) hawkish halt, as well as expectations suggesting the BoE’s rate cut in 2024. It’s worth noting, however, that the 50-SMA level of 1.2670 and an ascending support line from late November, close to 1.2650 at the latest, offer intermediate supports to the Cable pair within the aforementioned triangle, currently between 1.2600 and 1.2750. Apart from the triangle in play, the 200-SMA surrounding 1.2560 acts as an extra filter toward the south. Meanwhile, an upside clearance of the stated triangle’s top line, near 1.2750 by the press time, will quickly propel the Pound Sterling toward the previous monthly high of around 1.2830. Following that, the late July peak of 1.3000 will act as the final defense of the GBPUSD bears, a break that won’t hesitate to fuel the prices toward the year 2023 high of near 1.3145. Overall, the BoE is likely to keep the interest rate unchanged but the tone of the British central bank isn’t expected to maintain the optimism like the US Federal Reserve (Fed), which in turn will weigh on the GBPUSD pair unless witnessing a surprise.

GBPUSD: Trading becomes attractiveHello everyone, the GBP/USD pair remained below the 1.2700 level during the early Wednesday Asian trading session. The UK's Nationwide House Price Index for January will be released ahead of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) monetary policy meeting on Wednesday. From the 4-hour chart, we can see that the price has formed a double top pattern and declined, breaking out of the previous uptrend channel. Currently, the 34 and 89-period Exponential Moving Averages (EMA) technical indicators continue to support the downward price momentum of this currency pair. Given the current picture, it would not be surprising if GBP/USD makes new breakthroughs below the mentioned support on the 4-hour analysis chart

GBPUSD: Keep bullish faith!Dear friends, The GBP/USD pair is trading steadily around the psychological level of 1.2700 in the early Asian trading hours on Friday. The optimistic GDP growth figures from the United States have boosted the greenback against its rivals. Next, traders will be monitoring the GfK consumer confidence in the United Kingdom for January. The focus will then shift to the Core Personal Consumption Expenditures (Core PCE) price index of the United States on Friday, expected to increase by 0.2% MoM and 3.0% YoY. Traders will take cues from these numbers and seek trading opportunities around the GBP/USD pair.

GBPUSD: Check the channel price againDear friends, currently the GBP/USD pair continues to trade within an upward channel during the early Asian trading hours on Thursday. The major currency pair has rebounded above the 1.2700 level due to risk acceptance sentiment. However, the release of the US preliminary Q4 GDP growth figures on Thursday could cause market volatility. In the short term, the 4-hour chart indicates a potential downward correction, with a projected retreat towards the support level below 1.2700. Immediate support is located at 1.2680 before reaching 1.2650.

GBPUSD rebounds within bullish triangle as UK, US PMIs loomGBPUSD floats above the 200-bar Exponential Moving Average (EMA) as traders brace for the monthly activity data from the UK and the US early Wednesday. In doing so, the Cable pair reverses the previous day’s losses while staying firmer within a one-month-old descending triangle formation, also known as the bullish triangle. Apart from the pair’s recovery from the key EMA and bullish chart pattern, the upbeat RSI (14) line also favors the continuation of the Pound Sterling’s gradual rebound. However, a clear upside beak of the stated triangle, currently between 1.2600 and 1.2750, becomes necessary to convince the buyers. Following that, the quote’s run-up to the previous monthly high surrounding 1.2830 becomes imminent. However, the bull’s dominance past 1.2830 will enable the pair to aim for the 1.3000 threshold. On the contrary, the 200-EMA level surrounding 1.2660 restricts the immediate downside of the GBPUSD pair ahead of the aforementioned triangle’s bottom line, close to 1.2600. In a case where the Pound Sterling drops below 1.2600, the odds of witnessing a quick fall toward December’s low of around 1.2500 can’t be ruled out. Should the Cable bears keep the reins past 1.2500, the lows marked on November 22 and 17, respectively near 1.2445 and 1.2375, will test the downside momentum. To sum up, the GBPUSD pair buyers flex muscles ahead of the key Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) data for January from the UK and the US.

GBPUSD: Buy or Sell?Hello everyone, I am delighted to continue our discussion on GBPUSD today. At the opening of the trading session on Monday, GBPUSD continued its upward trend on the 4-hour chart, currently trading at 1.271. The appreciation of the British Pound against the US Dollar may be attributed to the current market sentiment leaning towards risk, which has fueled its recent increase. However, there are still underlying risks that could cause GBPUSD to decline further, as it remains constrained within a long-term downward trend and the Trendline has not yet been broken.

GBPUSD: recovering againIt's great to see you again and talk about GBPUSD trading today! Currently, GBP/USD has attracted some buying pressure for the second consecutive day at the start of Thursday and seems to continue its good recovery from below 1.2600 or even higher than the day's low. The price is currently trading just below the 1.2680 level and is still well supported by the 1.260 support level, with speculation on the Bank of England (BoE) cutting interest rates early. RKarina expects this pair to return to the 1.278 and then 1.281 highs, what about you?

GBPUSD bears approach key supports as UK, US data loomGBPUSD remains pressured at the lowest level in eight days after breaking a five-week-long trend line support the previous day. Apart from the support break, bearish MACD signals and an absence of oversold RSI also keep the Cable sellers hopeful. With this, the quote’s further downside toward the 1.2600 support confluence, comprising a 50% Fibonacci retracement of July-October downside and 50-SMA, appears imminent. However, the 200-SMA level surrounding 1.2545 appears a tough nut to crack for the Pound Sterling sellers, a break of which will make the pair vulnerable to slump toward the 1.2330-20 support zone comprising multiple levels marked since late May 2023. Alternatively, the GBPUSD pair’s corrective bounce needs validation from the aforementioned previous support line, close to 1.2665 at the latest, to convince the short-term buyers. Following that, a 5.5-month-old horizontal resistance area near 1.2790, quickly followed by the 1.2800 threshold, will test the quote’s further upside. In a case where the Cable buyers manage to keep the reins past 1.2800, the 11-week-long support-turned-resistance near 1.2890 and the 1.2900 round figure will be the last defense of the Pound Sterling sellers. Apart from the bearish technical signals, the comparative economic pessimism surrounding the UK and recent hawkish bias about the Federal Reserve (Fed) also keeps the GBPUSD sellers hopeful as the UK inflation and the US Retail Sales loom.

GBPUSD: Facing obstacles on the road to recoveryDear friends! Today, GBPUSD is facing some weaknesses in its recovery process. As a result, GBP/USD has dropped to around 1.2680 in the Asian trading session early in the day. The British Pound has lost ground against the US Dollar due to risk aversion sentiment, possibly driven by concerns over political risks dominating market participants' psychology, which acts as a psychological arrow prompting investors to sell GBPUSD and causing this pair to decline. From the 4-hour chart, we can observe that this currency pair has also broken out of the upward trend line, indicating that the price may continue to weaken. What are your thoughts on the GBPUSD trend?

GBPUSD price momentum remainsThe GBP/USD pair continues its streak of consecutive victories this week. Positive risk acceptance and the slight decline in the US Dollar are supporting the pair's price increase. The currency pair is currently trading at 1.2759, up 0.05% for the day. In recent times, this level has been a significant resistance point for the pair. However, with the support from the upward trend and trendline, we can expect positive signals from the EMA 34 and 89 for this currency pair. If favorable conditions persist, it is anticipated that after a small retreat to the 0.618 - 0.5 Fibonacci level, GBPUSD will gain new momentum and achieve a breakout towards the 1.28 peak.

GBPUSD fades bounce off 200-SMA after three-week uptrendGBPUSD prints mild losses around 1.2700 early Monday, after snapping a three-week uptrend in the last. In doing so, the Cable pair justifies the previous week’s downside break of a two-month-old rising support line, now immediate resistance around 1.2765, as well as fades the bounce off a 200-SMA level surrounding 1.2635. However, the upbeat conditions of the RSI (14) line and the bullish MACD signals keep the buyers hopeful unless the quote slips beneath the stated key SMA, a break of which could quickly drag the quote toward December’s low of 1.2500. It should be noted that the Pound Sterling’s weakness past 1.2500 will have the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level of near 1.2375 as the last defense of the buyers. On the flip side, the GBPUSD pair buyers can regain control by crossing the support-turned-resistance line of around 1.2765. Following that, the recent peak surrounding 1.2830 and an ascending trend line from late November, close to 1.2860 at the latest, could check the Pound Sterling’s upside momentum ahead of directing the bulls toward the 1.3000 psychological magnet. Should the quote remain firmer past the 1.3000 threshold, the previous yearly high of nearly 1.3145 will be in the spotlight. To sum up, the GBPUSD pair buyers are likely losing control the sellers need validation from the 200-SMA breakdown to retake control.
