GBP/USD Potential Bear Momentum...I couldn't resist the GBP/USD bear opportunity here displaying a broadening pattern. I'm already in established shorts on the EUR/USD at 1.0891 but decided to jump in on GBP/USD at 1.2916 considering the price movements can be more pronounced. Right now, my cap on whether this trade works or not is 1.3000. if we, for whatever reason, pop back up to 1.3000, I'd close this trade but for now, I think this trade looks good and will target 1.2750 however, using chart pattern percentages, I wouldn't be surprised to see 1.2600. We'll see how this one looks going forward, especially with trump announcing more tariffs later today. As always, Good Luck & Trade Safe.

Pound Slips to $1.29 on Soft InflationThe British pound dipped to around $1.29 as traders reacted to softer inflation data and looked ahead to the Spring Statement. UK annual inflation eased to 2.8% in February, below the 2.9% forecast but in line with the BoE's outlook. Services inflation remained at 5%. The BoE expects inflation to rise toward 4% later this year. Markets see a 92% chance of a 25bps rate cut in August and about a 60% chance of another by year-end. Chancellor Rachel Reeves is set to outline the economic outlook and announce major government spending cuts. If GBP/USD breaks above 1.3050, the next resistance levels are 1.3100 and 1.3150. On the downside, support stands at 1.2860, with further levels at 1.2800 and 1.2715 if selling pressure increases.

GBP/USD Holds Near Highs Ahead of Spring StatementGBP/USD remains near recent highs as traders await Wednesday’s Spring Statement from Chancellor Rachel Reeves. While major tax changes are off the table, revisions to the UK’s economic outlook and fiscal plans could provide fresh direction for the pound. What to Watch in the Spring Statement The key focus will be the Office for Budget Responsibility’s updated growth forecasts. Last year, the OBR had pencilled in 2% GDP growth for 2025, but weaker-than-expected data suggests that figure is due for a downgrade. Some estimates suggest it could be halved to around 1%. Meanwhile, higher interest rates have pushed up government debt servicing costs by an estimated £10bn per year, eroding the fiscal headroom Reeves had in October. With the chancellor prioritising stability, the government is expected to balance the books through welfare cuts and slightly tighter departmental spending rather than introducing new tax measures. For markets, that means a relatively muted fiscal event—but in an environment where the pound has been grinding higher, even subtle shifts in the outlook could be enough to move the dial. A Breakout, Then a Breather Sterling’s technical picture has changed significantly since the start of the year. After breaking above a long-term descending trendline in late January, GBP/USD has carved out a steepening series of higher swing lows, forming an ascending trendline fan. This structure signals increasing bullish momentum, but in recent weeks, the pair has entered a consolidation phase—pulling back slightly while holding near trend highs. At the same time, trading volume has steadily declined, dipping below its 20-day average. GBP/USD Daily Candle Chart Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results On the hourly chart, this consolidation is even more defined. GBP/USD has established a clear range with horizontal support and resistance levels, offering traders well-structured reference points for reversals or breakouts, especially with Wednesday’s Spring Statement acting as a potential catalyst. At present, prices are languishing near the lower boundary of this range, but the RSI is not in oversold territory. However, if RSI does dip into oversold conditions and the hourly chart forms a bullish reversal pattern at the bottom of the range—an area that aligns with the ascending trendline fan on the daily chart—it would present a compelling buy signal within the broader uptrend.
