GBPUSD: Is this week's trend up or down?RKarina sends greetings at the beginning of the week to everyone, wishing you all a smooth and exciting trading week.
Currently, GBPUSD is maintaining a fairly stable price around 1.266, recording a 0.08% recovery during the day. The GBP/USD pair has formed a good recovery on Friday from the level of 1.2600, which has been a low point for a week and a half, and has attracted some positive momentum.
In terms of trends, GBPUSD is still in a sideways state, but in the short and medium term, it seems that the buying side is holding strong with price increases after this currency pair tested the 34 and 89 EMA lines and continued to move up.
My goal for this week is for GBPUSD to continue rising with two main targets, namely 1.270 and 1.276. What about you? Do you have a goal for an increase or decrease in price?

GBPUSD bulls jostle with multi-month-old resistance lineGBPUSD rose to the highest level in a month the previous day but failed to offer a daily closing beyond a downward-sloping resistance line from July 2023. In addition to the inability to cross the key trend line resistance, softer prints of the UK PMIs and sluggish MACD signals also challenged the Cable pair buyers. However, the quote’s capacity to remain firmer past the 200-bar Exponential Moving Average (EMA) and the firmer RSI (14) line push back the bears. Hence, the Pound Sterling bulls are likely to keep the reins and can overcome the immediate resistance line, close to 1.2700 by the press time, but its further advances need validation from the late 2023 swing high of around 1.2830 and the MACD signals to confirm the bullish trend. In that case, tops marked on July 23 and 13, respectively around 1.3000 and 1.3140, will be in the spotlight.
Meanwhile, the GBPUSD pair’s pullback moves remain elusive beyond a one-month-old rising support line, close to 1.2600. Following that, the Cable bears will need confirmation from the 200-EMA level of 1.2530 on a daily closing basis to retake control. Should that happen, the quote’s gradual downward trajectory toward highs marked in November and October of 2023, around 1.2430 and 1.2335 in that order, can’t be ruled out.
Overall, the GBPUSD pair remains on the bull’s radar despite the latest struggle with the key resistance line. Apart from the technical details, the cautious mood ahead of the US ADP Employment Change and Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s Testimony also appear crucial to determine near-term moves of the Pound Sterling.
GBPUSD: The risk of a price drop lurksThe GBP/USD exchange rate is hovering around 1.2680 on Wednesday as markets seek new impetus from the Federal Reserve (Fed) as investors gradually shy away from high-interest rate cut bets. Data on US Gross Domestic Product (GDP) inflation and Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Price Index will be released this week.
Data from the United Kingdom remains sparse this week, with the market focusing on important figures to update expectations of interest rate cuts by the Fed.
As a result, GBPUSD is struggling to rise, with both short-term and medium-term corrections indicating a downward trend. The currency pair has already broken below the support level of 1.267. In the event that the next support level at 1.265 is breached, the possibility of a decline below 1.262 is entirely plausible as there will be no significant support points to prop up GBPUSD.
GBPUSD : Slight discount !The GBP/USD pair broke free from the recent low around 1.2620 and rebounded to 1.2660 at the start of Thursday's Asian trading session. The demand for the US Dollar (USD) weighed heavily on the GBPUSD pair ahead of a significant event in the United States.
Investors are currently awaiting the release of the US Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Price Index for January at the end of the day, hoping for fresh momentum.
GBP/USD: maintain good growth rateThe GBP/USD pair continues its upward momentum below the psychological barrier of 1.2700 in the early Asian trading session on Tuesday. The FOMC minutes indicated that the Fed has reaffirmed its data-dependent approach, leading to a more dovish outlook. This has weighed on the US Dollar (USD) and created a favorable environment for this currency pair.
At the time of writing, GBP/USD is trading at 1.2685, up 0.02% for the day. My expectation is that the price will continue to rise after finding support at the 34 and 89 EMA levels.
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 bulls keep the reins despite latest inactionGBPUSD stays defensive above 200-SMA after posting the first weekly gain in four, making rounds to 1.2680 early Tuesday. In doing so, the Cable pair defends last week’s upside break of the key SMA support, around 1.2660 by the press time, while also edging higher past a one-week-old rising support line, close to 1.2645 at the latest. Not only the pair’s ability to stay beyond the key SMA and an immediate support line, but an absence of the trend-negative oscillators also keeps the Pound Sterling buyers hopeful. It’s worth noting, however, that the quote’s sustained trading beneath 1.2645 will defy the bullish bias and make it vulnerable to aim for the monthly low surrounding 1.2520.
On the other hand, the 1.2700 round figure guards the immediate upside of the GBPUSD pair amid a lack of major data/events, as well as due to the cautious mood ahead of today’s US Durable Goods Orders. That said, the Cable buyers target a downward-sloping resistance line from late December 2023, near 1.2740 as we write. In a case where the Pound Sterling manages to stay firmer past 1.2740, the yearly high of near 1.2785 and the late 2023 peak of 1.2830 will test the upside momentum targeting the 1.3000 psychological magnet.
To sum up, the GBPUSD pair’s latest performance appears less important for the bears as far as the price stays beyond the key SMA and the short-term support line.
GBPUSD: stable daily recovery streakHello dear traders, today GBPSUSD continues its winning streak during the recovery process, with trading levels around 1.266 and remaining within an upward price channel with stability.
It is expected that the price will continue to recover after the correction phase and reach the lower limit of the ascending channel, while also testing the EMA 34 and 89.
GBPUSDHello everyone, it's RKarina here again. Overall, GBPUSD continues to trade in an upward trend. So, what factors are driving this upward momentum?
Today, the GBP/USD pair achieved modest gains above the 1.2600 level in the early Asian trading hours on Friday. The decline of the US Dollar provided some support for the major currency pair.
Currently, GBPUSD is operating near the resistance level of 1.2700, with dynamic support around 1.2680 before 1.2650-1.2660. However, to ensure the safety of your trades, we have recommended a significant support zone around this area, which also coincides with continuous price reaction. When reaching that entry point, we can prioritize buying with an expected increase of 1.3500 and 1.3800.
GBPUSD bears keep 1.2500 on radar, UK inflation eyedGBPUSD licks its wounds around 1.2600 early Wednesday as traders await the UK inflation clues for January. That said, the Cable pair marked a stellar move the previous day, initially rising to a seven-day high before posting the biggest daily loss in a week while reversing from the 50-bar Exponential Moving Average (EMA). It should be noted that Tuesday’s reversal from 50-EMA also defends the Pound Sterling’s early month break of a 12-week-old rising support line, now resistance around 1.2685. Additionally, the bearish MACD signals and an absence of the oversold RSI (14) also keep the pair sellers hopeful. However, a convergence of the 200-EMA and multiple levels marked since early December 2023, close to 1.2520-2500, appears a tough nut to crack for the pair bears. In a case where the prices drop below 1.2500, the mid-November 2023 swing low of around 1.2375 will be in the spotlight.
Alternatively, the strong UK inflation numbers could allow the GBPUSD pair to have another battle with the 50-EMA and the aforementioned support-turned-resistance, respectively near 1.2635 and 1.2675. If at all the Cable bulls manage to keep the reins past 1.2675, a downward-sloping resistance line from January 12, close to 1.2770 by the press time, will be the final defense of the pair sellers. Following that, the late 2023 peak of near 1.2830 and the 1.3000 psychological magnet will lure the Pound Sterling buyers.
Overall, the GBPUSD pair remains bearish unless staying below 1.2675, especially when the US inflation data appears more lucrative to the Fed hawks. Even so, the Bank of England (BoE) officials have been optimistic of late and hence today’s UK inflation clues will be closely observed for clear directions.
GBPUSD struggles with support-turned-resistanceGBPUSD snapped a two-day winning streak on Thursday while retreating from a previous support line stretched from November 22. It’s worth noting, however, that late Thursday’s corrective bounce in the Cable pair renewed bullish bias about the quote, especially amid the upbeat RSI conditions. With this, the support-turned-resistance line surrounding 1.2650 challenges the Pound Sterling buyers. Apart from that, a convergence of the 100 and 200-bar Exponential Moving Average (EMA), around 1.2660 by the press time, also acts as a tough nut to crack for the bulls. In a case where the prices remain firmer past 1.2660, a quick run-up toward a one-month-old resistance line, close to 1.2770 at the latest, can’t be ruled out.
Meanwhile, the GBPUSD pair sellers need validation from the previous day’s low of near 1.2570 to take fresh positions. Even so, a two-month-old horizontal support zone surrounding 1.2520–2500 will challenge the quote’s downside momentum. Following that, the mid-November 2023 swing low of around 1.2370 will act as the final defense of the Cable buyers before giving control to the bears.
Overall, the GBPUSD pair buyers flex muscles ahead of the key week comprising a slew of UK and US data.
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: Buy or Sell?Hello dear friends, what do you think will happen to GBPUSD in the near future?
Today, this currency pair is still maintaining a prolonged sideways trend, with short-term prices favoring buying. However, there is still a lack of momentum for this pair to break out of the range as investors shift their focus towards monetary policy announcements from the Federal Reserve and the Bank of England, which are expected to provide the latest direction for GBPUSD.
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: SELL?GBPUSD Trading Strategy:
The GBPUSD currency pair experienced a significant decline towards the end of Tuesday, maintaining a price level around 1.270 at the start of the trading session with a modest recovery of 0.07% throughout the day. However, GBPUSD is currently in a corrective phase after retesting the Breakout zone, and it is expected that the price will continue to decrease towards the level of 1.264, possibly even reaching as low as 1.260.
