GBP/USD: Is the Dollar Weakness Back?After a brief two-day recovery, GBP/USD reversed course on Monday, losing 0.5% and continuing to show signs of weakness on Tuesday morning, trading slightly below the 1.3000 level. Market sentiment was cautious at the beginning of the week due to escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, which bolstered demand for the US Dollar as a safe haven. The US economic calendar features the Richmond Fed Manufacturing Index for October, though it is not expected to significantly impact the market. Additionally, Bank of England Governor Andrew Bailey will deliver a speech at the Bloomberg Global Regulatory Forum in New York, but without expected comments on monetary policy, the event could have a minimal effect on the pound. The next important data releases for GBP/USD will be on Thursday, with the preliminary PMI Manufacturing and Services Index data for the UK and the US, which could provide further direction for the pair. It is also worth noting that on Tuesday, the market closed the day with a doji candle, opening up a potential bullish opportunity. We will see if today, during the London session, the market provides a clear confirmation to go long. Happy trading, and have a great day!

GBP/USD: Time to Ride the Bear Train?GBP/USD: I can see that we're trading below the 21 EMA on both the weekly and daily timeframes, indicating that the bears still have control. On the weekly, price is rejecting a critical level around 1.30992, with a continuation of bearish momentum heading toward the next key weekly support at 1.27575. This makes me lean towards a bearish bias in the medium term. On the daily, we see the price approaching that same support zone around 1.27575 with some room for a retracement. The 4-hour chart shows price action consolidating and potentially setting up for another move to the downside. What we want to look for here is a clean break below 1.2975 or a retracement to around 1.3058 to possibly reenter for a sell. With this setup, I’d be looking to get in between 1.2980 and 1.3000 on a lower timeframe confirmation, targeting the weekly support of 1.27575. Make sure you stay patient and let the trade come to you.

Analysis GBP/USDOn the weekly chart, we see that the price is following my previous analysis. The price is now creating a potential lower low on the daily chart, but as I see it, the price will continue with the downtrend and form a new lower low below the current level. Today's session closed with a Doji candlestick, which could indicate a potential pullback or the continuation of bearish momentum. What we can also observe on the weekly chart is that the price has several liquidity (LQY) areas before forming a higher low in the weekly structure. On the hourly charts, we saw a pullback today. In line with Dollar-related news, both the EUR and GBP are expected to be bearish tomorrow.
