GBPUSD Weekly Outlook: New perspective for the week | Follow-up
Updated
During the latter part of the previous week, the GBPUSD price action continued its upward movement as the US Dollar faced obstacles following a less confident recovery.
The release of data on Thursday, which showed a surge in the number of Americans filing new claims for unemployment benefits to the highest level in over 1½ years, prompted investors to sell off their US Dollar positions.
The upcoming week will feature several significant economic events from both economies that will greatly influence the price movements of this currency pair. With indications of a weakening labor market in the U.S., the release of the latest consumer prices index for May on Tuesday will have a significant impact just before central bank officials meet to discuss interest rates.
On the other hand, the Pound Sterling will also be influenced by the release of employment data for May on Tuesday. The preliminary report suggests a projected decrease of 9.6K in Claimant Count Change, contrasting with a significant increase of 46.7 K. The Unemployment Rate is expected to rise to 4.0% compared to the previous release of 3.9%.
In the video, we conducted a detailed analysis of the GBPUSD's bullish and bearish sentiment, focusing on price action-based technical analysis of the Support and Resistance Levels in the 4-hour timeframe. I discussed how these levels can help identify potential trading opportunities in the upcoming week, providing insights and analysis on the GBPUSD chart. It's important to note that we highlighted a key level at 1.25900, which could play a significant role in determining the direction of price action in the coming week.
