GBPUSD Market Update: Key Influences and Chart AnalysisToday, GBPUSD is hovering around 1.293 as it attempts to stabilize after recent volatility. The pair has been facing downward pressure due to ongoing uncertainty around the UK’s economic outlook and the strength of the USD. The chart suggests that GBPUSD recently encountered resistance in the 1.2978 zone, with multiple rejections, signaling a strong selling pressure around this level. After testing this resistance, the pair is now trending downward, breaking through the sideways range, indicating potential further declines. Technical indicators, including the EMA levels shown on the chart, suggest a bearish outlook. The projected path illustrates a corrective bounce but ultimately points to a continuation of the downward trend, with a possible support target around 1.2850 or lower if selling pressure persists. Given these signals, traders should monitor key news events that could impact the USD and GBP sentiment, such as upcoming U.S. and UK economic releases. A cautious approach may favor short positions, aligning with the bearish indicators on the chart.

30-min GBP/USD: High Buying InterestOn the 30-minute chart, GBP/USD is displaying encouraging signs of bullish momentum. The 20-period EMA has crossed above the 60-period EMA, indicating strong upward momentum and suggesting continued buying interest. The Fibonacci retracement from the recent low of 1.2844 to the high of 1.3000 highlights key support levels: 23.6% retracement at 1.2964: Price is currently holding above this level, suggesting strong bullish pressure and potential for further upside. 38.2% retracement at 1.2935: This level aligns closely with the 20-period EMA, offering dynamic support. 50% level at 1.2922: This is a key psychological and technical support zone, reinforcing the bullish trend. If GBP/USD maintains support above the 23.6% or 38.2% levels, the next target could be a retest of the 1.3000 high, with potential for a breakout towards new highs. The uptrend remains intact as long as the pair trades above the 60-period EMA.

GBP/USD Chart Analysis: Bears Apply Pressure to Key SupportGBP/USD Chart Analysis: Bears Apply Pressure to Key Support According to ICE data, the U.S. Dollar Index futures have reached highs last seen in early July 2024. The dollar’s strength is attributed, in part, to anticipated economic stimulus measures outlined by the newly elected President Donald Trump during his campaign. This has put pressure on other currencies paired with the dollar. Currently, the British pound is trading near 1.28400, close to a three-month low. Today’s technical analysis of the 4-hour GBP/USD chart reveals: → long-term price fluctuations have shaped an upward channel since May; → the pair is near a key support level at the lower boundary of this channel; → a downtrend channel (in red) has formed since early October, highlighting recent bearish control; → the ATR indicator is at an annual high, indicating heightened volatility. Key economic events are on the horizon: → UK labour market data on Tuesday at 10:00 (GMT+3), → U.S. CPI figures on Wednesday at 16:30 (GMT+3), → speeches by the Fed and Bank of England heads on Thursday. With these events approaching, traders may anticipate continued wide fluctuations around the lower boundary of the upward channel.
