Pound Steady as BoE holds ratesThe British pound is showing limited movement for a second straight day. In the European session, GBP/USD is trading at 1.3435, up 0.18% on the day.
The Bank of England didn't have any surprises up its sleeve as it held rates at 4.25%. This follows a quarter-point cut at last month's meeting. The MPC vote indicated that six members voted to hold while three voted to lower rates. The markets had projected that the vote would be 7-2 in favor of holding rates.
Today's decision to hold rates was widely expected, but that doesn't mean there aren't economic signals which support a rate cut. The UK economy is in trouble and GDP came in at -0.3% in April, its deepest contraction in 18 months.
The weak economy could desperately use a rate cut, but inflation remains stubbornly high and a rate cut would likely send inflation even higher. Annual CPI remained at 3.4% in May, its highest level in over a year.
The geopolitical tensions, most recently the war between Israel and Iran have led to greater economic uncertainty and complicated any plans to lower rates. The BoE is expected to lower rates one or twice in the second half of the year, with the direction of inflation being a key factor in the Bank's rate path.
The Federal Reserve held rates at Wednesday's meeting for a fourth straight time. The Fed noted that inflation remains higher than the target but said the labor market remains strong. President Trump has pushed hard for the Fed to lower rates but Fed Chair Jerome Powell has stuck to his position and repeated on Wednesday that current policy was the most appropriate to respond to the economic uncertainty.

WILL THE GBPUSD DIP?Looking at that upward trendline I think the GBPUSD might sell down to the 1.34225 level or even sell further if it manages to break the resistance turned support thats near the upward trendline, and also considering the previous candlestick, a bearish pinbar, showing sellers are coming in, I dont plan on selling for long here.

BOE in Focus: Market Awaits Policy Signal The Bank of England is widely expected to hold interest rates steady, with markets pricing in nearly two cuts by year-end, according to LSEG. ING’s Pesole notes the BOE may endorse this outlook — but warns risks lean toward signalling even more cuts, thanks to soft UK data lately.
📈 FX Check:
• EUR/GBP flat at 0.8548
• GBP/USD steady at $1.3417
📊 Tech View on GBP/USD:
Sterling may have topped near-term around 1.3632, just shy of the 2001 low. Watch the 1.3229 level (the 2025 uptrend) — holding here could mean recent weakness is just a correction. A break below? 🧐 That could hint at a deeper sell-off.

GBPUSDGBPUSD giving us a sellers entry on bigger timeframe, this analysis is to spot the entry for that sell which based on the Trendline approach, the support has been broken out of and may have been retested, however due to the RSI Divergence I found on 5min TF, Im still hoping a few buyers can reap here before the sellers dive in. Note the current area is also a strong historic S/R Flip zone as from April 2025. Amen.

GBP/USD - SMT with EUR/USD, SHORTExcited to share my first idea with you guys !
To start with, my name is Soulayman and have started my trading journey in October 2024. It was very hard at first, but after hard work and dedication we all know we can make it happen. I basically studied ICT concepts, and was able to integrate those into a system that I have built myself ( this is what every trader should do in my opinion, it will make you understand better ).
And that is why I am here today on Trading View, sharing my first ever idea with you guys !
I'll make it very simple , no extravagant analysis or super complicated trendlines all over the place ... =D
This is what I see :
1 - GBP/USD potentially forming a SMT with EUR/USD after sweeping London High located inside a fair value gap (which makes this play stronger)
2- After the sweep occurs, I will be waiting on a 5 MINUTE break of structure (since 1 min break outs are manipulation most of the times so i prefer to stay safe). If this is followed by a fair value gap, it reinforces our idea showing the market has intent to push price lower.
3 - Now , let's talk about the HIGH TIME FRAME structure (4H) clearly shows the price wants to sell and that it is targeting Sellside liquidity Equal Lows. We could than anticipate a reversal from there.
We currently have price pulling back towards the HTF FVG, failed to close above the most recent high and having bearish reaction.
Since everything aligns with our BIAS, we will let it play out and wait on the sweep !
I will be posting updates during the day =D
Stay tuned ! Talk to you guys soon !
