GBPUSD: Two Strong Bullish Area To Buy From ?GU is currently in a bullish trend when examined on a daily time frame. There are two potential areas for purchase. The first area is currently active, as we anticipate a price reversal from this point. There is a significant possibility that price could decline to the second area and subsequently reverse from there directly. The sole reason we believe price could drop to the second area is if the US Dollar experiences corrections, which could cause GU to drop to our second area and subsequently rebound.

GBPUSD: Price Action at Critical JunctureApproaching a Deciding Level : GBPUSD is currently trading near a critical "Deciding Level" (highlighted in grey) around 1.33927. This zone appears to be a crucial pivot point, where the market will likely determine its next significant move. Uptrend Line as Dynamic Support : An ascending trendline (light blue) originating from January 2025 has consistently provided dynamic support for the price. The current price action is testing this trendline, making its integrity vital for the continuation of the bullish structure. Identified First Resistance Level Above : A "1st Resistance Level" (highlighted in red) is clearly marked around 1.36000. This level has proven to be a ceiling for recent upward movements and represents the immediate hurdle for bulls. Strong First Support Level Below : Below the current price, a "1st Support Level" (highlighted in green) is identified between approximately 1.31000 and 1.32000. This zone previously acted as strong support in late April/early May and could serve as a significant demand area if the price breaks below the "Deciding Level" and the trendline.

Cable looking for a new high with Ending DiagonalCable found some support in the last 24 hours and it looks like we may still see a retest of the high, so apparently this 5th wave is still in progress but unfolding with an ending diagonal with subwave five on the way up to 1.37–1.38, which could be the key resistance for this reversal pattern. So despite some recovery that is happening right now, we still think that the impulse from January is in late stages, which is also confirmed by divergence on the RSI and overlapping price action that clearly suggests that bulls are losing strength up here.

UK inflation heats up, Pound shrugsThe British pound has stabilized on Wednesday and is trading at 1.3389 in the European session, up 0.07% on the day. This follows a four-day losing streak in which GBP/USD dropped 1.5%. On Tuesday, the pound fell as low as 1.3378, its lowest level since June 23. Today's UK inflation report brought news that the Bank of England would have preferred not to hear. UK inflation in June jumped to 3.6% y/y, up from 3.4% in May and above the market estimate of 3.4%. This was the highest level since January 2024 and is a stark reminder that inflation is far from being beaten. The main drivers of inflation were higher food and transport prices. Services inflation, which has been persistently high, remained steady at 4.7%. Monthly, CPI ticked up to 0.3% from 0.2%, above the market estimate of 0.2%. It was a similar story for core CPI, which rose to 3.7% y/y from 3.5% in May, above the market estimate of 3.5%. Monthly, core CPI climbed 0.4%, above 0.2% which was also the market estimate. The hot inflation report will make it more difficult for the BoE to lower interest rates and the money markets have responded by paring expectations of further rate cuts. Still, expectations are that the BoE will cut rates at the August 7 meeting, with a probability of around 80%, despite today’s higher-than-expected inflation numbers. The UK releases wage growth on Thursday, which is the final tier-1 event prior to the August meeting. Wage growth has been trending lower in recent months and if that continues in the May reading, that could cement an August rate cut.

DeGRAM | GBPUSD broke down the channel📊 Technical Analysis ● Cable’s bounce stalled at the channel base (≈1.3500); price is now carving a bear flag beneath that rail and the prior wedge-break line, signalling failure to regain trend support. ● A 4 h close under 1.3415 confirms channel loss, opening the mid-May pivot 1.3271; flag top at 1.3470 caps risk while lower-high sequence stays intact. 💡 Fundamental Analysis ● Friday’s firm US consumer-sentiment and Fed Gov. Waller’s “no urgency to cut” comments nudged 2-yr yields back toward 4.80 %, reviving dollar demand. ● UK June payrolls contracted for a third month and wage growth cooled, boosting August BoE-cut odds and weighing on sterling. ✨ Summary Sell 1.3460-1.3490; sustained trade below 1.3415 targets 1.3271. Short view void on a 4 h close above 1.3470. ------------------- Share your opinion in the comments and support the idea with a like. Thanks for your support!

Will The Prospect of a BoE Rate Cut Continue to Dampen GBPUSD?Macro approach: - GBPUSD has weakened since last week, pressured by disappointing UK economic data and rising expectations of a BoE rate cut. Meanwhile, the US dollar found support amid cautious risk sentiment and anticipation of key US inflation data. - UK GDP contracted for a second consecutive month in May, and recent labor market surveys signaled further cooling, reinforcing the case for the BoE's monetary easing. Governor Bailey reiterated that the path for rates is "downward," with markets now pricing in a high probability of a cut at the Aug meeting. - Meanwhile, the US dollar was buoyed by safe-haven flows and firm inflation expectations ahead of the US CPI release, highlighting policy divergence between the Fed and BoE. - GBPUSD may remain under pressure as traders await UK inflation and employment data, which could influence the BoE's next move. The pair could see further volatility with US CPI and Fed commentary also on the radar as potential catalysts. Technical approach: - GBPUSD is retesting the ascending channel's lower bound, confluence with the key support at 1.3420. The price is between both EMAs, indicating a sideways movement. GBPUSD awaits an apparent breakout to determine the short-term trend. - If GBPUSD breaches below the support at 1.3420, the price may plunge toward the following support at 1.3175. - On the contrary, holding above 1.3420 may prompt a short correction to retest EMA21.

UK employment,wage growth falls, US retail sales shineThe British pound showing limited movement on Thursday. In the North American session, GBP/USD is trading at 1.3406, down 0.09% on the day. Today's UK employment report pointed to a cooling in the UK labor market. The number of employees on company payrolls dropped by 41 thousand in June after a decline of 25 thousand in May. Still, the May decline was downwardly revised from 109 thousand, easing concerns of a significant deterioration in the labor market. Wage growth (excluding bonuses) dropped to 5.0% from a revised 5.3%, above the market estimate of 4.9%. The unemployment rate ticked up to 4.7%, up from 4.6% and above the market estimate of 4.6%. This is the highest jobless level since the three months to July 2021. The latest job data will ease the pressure on the Bank of England to lower rates, as the sharp revision to the May payroll employees means the labor market has not deteriorated as much as had been feared. Still, the employment picture remains weak and the markets are expecting an August rate cut, even though UK inflation was hotter than expected in June. US retail sales bounced back in June after back-to-back declines. Consumers reacted with a thumbs-down to President Trump's tariffs, which took effect in April and made imported goods more expensive. The markets had anticipated a marginal gain of just 0.1% m/m in June but retail sales came in at an impressive 0.6%, with most sub-categories recording stronger activity in June. This follows a sharp 0.9% decline in May. The US tariffs seem to have had a significant impact on retail sales, as consumers continue to time their purchases to minimize the effect of tariffs. Consumers increased spending before the tariffs took effect and cut back once the tariffs were in place. With a truce in place between the US and China which has slashed tariff rates, consumers have opened their wallets and are spending more on big-ticket items such as motor vehicles, which jumped 1.2% in June.

GBP/USD Daily Outlook: At a Pivotal JunctureLong-Term Trend Dynamics The Pound-Dollar pair has largely maintained an upward trajectory since April, guided by a robust long-term rising trendline. This enduring bullish structure has consistently provided dynamic support, illustrating a sustained period of higher lows and gradual appreciation over several months. The Immediate "Deciding Level" GBP/USD currently finds itself at a critical confluence point, labeled the "Deciding Level." This horizontal zone of significance is being tested precisely where it intersects with the established long-term rising trendline, making the present price action absolutely pivotal for determining the pair's short-term direction. Potential Downside Acceleration A decisive break and sustained trading below this "Deciding Level" would signal a significant shift in market sentiment, opening the door for "More immediate Downside." Such a move would likely accelerate the existing bearish momentum (indicated by the steep red downtrend line), with the "1st Support Level" becoming the primary downside target where strong buying interest might re-emerge. Key Resistance Zones to Watch Should the "Deciding Level" successfully hold as support, the pair could attempt to reverse its recent decline. Any potential rebound, however, would first encounter resistance from the short-term red downtrend line, followed by the formidable "1st Resistance Level," an overhead supply zone that has historically capped bullish advances.
