GBPUSD Holds Rebound Above 1.32On the back of softer U.S. inflation data and stronger-than-expected UK figures (with GDP at 0.2% vs. 0% expected and claimant count change at 5.2k vs. 22.3k), GBPUSD held above 1.32. Bullish scenario: A clean hold above 1.3350 could push the pair toward 1.3450, with potential for new 2025 highs at 1.3750 and 1.4210, aligning with the highs of 2021. Bearish scenario: A break below 1.32 may bring support levels at 1.3150, 1.3070, and 1.2980 into view. In extreme cases, 1.27 could be tested, aligning with overbought RSI levels last seen in July 2023 and September 2024, and the long-term trendline from 2014–2021. Written by Razan Hilal, CMT

Pound Gains on Strong UK GDPThe British pound climbed to $1.3320 on Friday after strong UK GDP data showed the economy grew 0.7% in Q1 and 1.3% year-over-year, easing pressure on the Bank of England to cut rates aggressively. While a cut is still likely, the solid growth figures suggest urgency has diminished. At the same time, a softer U.S. dollar, driven by speculation that the U.S. may be allowing depreciation to support exports, has supported sterling. However, the UK’s broader outlook remains mixed, with rising unemployment and slowing wage growth signaling uneven momentum. GBP/USD faces resistance at 1.3350, with additional levels at 1.3450 and 1.3550. Support levels are at 1.3160, 1.3000, and 1.2960.

Fundamental Market Analysis for May 16, 2025 GBPUSDU.S. producer prices unexpectedly fell in April as the cost of services fell the most since 2009. The Bureau of Labour Statistics on Thursday released data that the US Producer Price Index (PPI) rose 2.4 per cent in April, down from 2.7 per cent previously. This figure was weaker than market expectations of 2.5%. In addition, initial jobless claims in the US for the week ending 10 May were 229 thousand, compared to the previous week's 229 thousand (revised from 228 thousand). This value was in line with initial estimates. Swap markets priced in the first Fed rate cut of 25 basis points (bps) at the September meeting and expect two more rate cuts before the end of the year. Some analysts believe policymakers may wait until December. Favourable UK Gross Domestic Product (GDP) data suggests the UK's economic health is robust, dampening hopes of aggressive monetary policy easing by the Bank of England (BoE). This, in turn, provides some support for the British pound against the US dollar. Trading recommendation: BUY 1.3350, SL 1.3250, TP 1.3550

GBP/USD: Bull Flag Watch as Momentum Builds for Topside BreakGBP/USD traders should be on alert for a potential topside break, with price action resembling a bull flag formation. Downtrend resistance comes in near 1.3340 today—a key level to watch for those considering bullish setups. A break above that trendline would shift focus to the April 29 high at 1.3444. If cleared, there's not much standing in the way until 1.3644. Momentum signals are also starting to turn more constructive, with the 14-day RSI breaking its recent downtrend and MACD curling back towards the signal line above zero. Taken together, the setup favours buying dips and trading in line with any upside break. Good luck! DS

GbpUsd Trade IdeaWith GU pushing back above the range between 1.34155 and 1.32325 we could expect price to continue with bullish structures. Price ended up breaking below 1.32325 before pushing back above with a solid retest and structure flip. I'll be looking to go long on the pair for a 1:3rr after price can retest from the small range it was in before pushing back above. If all goes well we should expect the highs to tapped into and maybe even create a new high where 1.34155 could get hit again. We'll see what happens.

Cable holds above $1.32The pound has generally performed well in recent weeks amid overall economic positivity, especially a positive surprise from preliminary GDP for the first quarter, and minimal political intrigue between Britain and America relative to various other countries. While tension between China and the USA has been lower since the announcement of a 90-day pause for most new tariffs, there’s no firm deal yet and trade between the world’s two largest economies remains disrupted. The latest British job report was somewhat weaker but it comes in the context of a long period of overall strong wage growth. Although volatility has remained fairly high in May so far, there’s been no clear direction since the middle of last month. The 50 SMA from Bands around $1.313 is a possible dynamic support while the latest high near $1.345 is likely to be a strong resistance. While volume hasn’t dropped so much since early April here compared to euro-dollar, the price also isn’t as close to the oversold zone based on the slow stochastic. Depending on sentiment and political and trade news, any consolidation might be fairly short because British inflation on 21 May is likely to drive movement one way or the other. Some estimates point to an annual headline figure as high as 3.3%, which would be a significant increase and the highest since February 2024. This is my personal opinion, not the opinion of Exness. This is not a recommendation to trade.

UK Data in Focus as Pound Tests 1.3300GBP/USD trades near 1.3280 early Thursday, recovering recent losses as the dollar softens with ongoing trade policy discussions. Optimism over reduced U.S. tariffs on British goods like cars and steel helps strengthen the appeal of the Pound. However, weaker UK employment data and slow wage growth may increase pressure on the BoE to consider further easing. Traders now await UK Q1 GDP and U.S. CPI data. Despite global uncertainties, improving trade conditions have reduced bets on aggressive Fed cuts, with markets now pricing a 74% chance of a 25 bp cut in September instead of July. The pair faces resistance at 1.3320, with higher levels at 1.3450 and 1.3550. Support sits at 1.3160, then 1.3000 and 1.2960.
