GBPUSD - Bulls Full Steam Ahead!Exceptional delivery to the upside this week with GBPUSD disregarding the weekly SIBI outlined @ 1.28340 - 1.27149 as a form or resistance. GBPUSD failed to tag the lower portion of the inverted BISI @ 1.29452 - 1.31100 indicating the possibility of a short term retracement for this week. I am well aware that GBPUSD is presenting more bullish signatures than bearish at this current time but it's the manipulation in price action that i try to spot and take advantage of. With that being said, I would ideally like the lows to be booked this week by Wednesday latest before seeing an expansion higher

Trading GBP/USD’s High & Tight ConsolidationGBP/USD has started 2025 on the front foot, reversing last year’s weakness and building momentum. Now, with the pair consolidating in a tight range near recent highs, traders are watching closely to see whether this sets the stage for another leg higher. Fundamentals: US Weakness vs. BoE Caution A key driver behind GBP/USD’s strength has been growing uncertainty around the US economy. The Atlanta Fed now projects a 2.4% contraction in Q1 GDP, while consumer confidence has seen its sharpest decline since August 2021. This has reinforced recession fears and put pressure on the US Dollar. Adding to the uncertainty, President Trump’s tariff policies have unsettled markets, with investors struggling to gauge the long-term impact on trade and growth. Meanwhile, the Bank of England has taken a more measured approach. While the BoE cut rates by 25bps to 4.5%, policymakers have pushed back against the idea of a long and gradual easing cycle. With UK GDP projections remaining steady and inflation still above target, markets have taken this as a sign that the BoE won’t be in a hurry to cut rates further—helping to support the Pound. Technical Analysis: A Classic Bullish Setup? GBP/USD’s technical picture has shifted dramatically since the start of the year. After breaking above its descending trendline in late January, the pair has formed a steepening series of higher swing lows, creating an ascending trendline fan that signals increasing bullish momentum. Last week’s push through the 200-day moving average for the first time since November marked another key milestone. Since then, the pair has entered a period of tight consolidation near the highs, which typically suggests strength rather than exhaustion. Drilling down to the hourly chart, the boundaries of this consolidation phase become clear. Traders looking to align with the dominant trend have two key options: buying reversals at the lower end of the range or waiting for a decisive breakout before entering on momentum or a pullback.

UK Budget Forecasts and GDP Data Set to Shape Pound’s Next MoveThe pound hovered around $1.29, staying near a four-month high as dollar weakness persisted amid U.S. economic concerns and tariff risks. Sterling remained supported by expectations that UK interest rates will stay high, with traders adjusting BoE rate cut forecasts to 52 bps for 2025. Investors now await January GDP data for economic insights, while the UK’s budget watchdog will release updated economic and borrowing forecasts on March 26, potentially influencing market sentiment. If GBP/USD breaks above 1.2920, the next resistance levels are 1.2980 and 1.3050. On the downside, support stands at 1.2860, with further levels at 1.2760 and 1.2660 if selling pressure increases.

GBP/USD Strength Persists, but Watch for Reversal at 1.30Similar to EUR/USD, GBP/USD experienced a strong rally starting in March, breaking above the key resistance level in the 1.2775 zone. Over the past three days, the pair has consolidated well above the broken resistance level, suggesting that another upward spike is likely. However, the 1.30 level is both a significant technical and psychological barrier. If the price reaches this zone, a correction could follow. In conclusion, I’m closely watching the pair, and if we see a spike toward 1.30, I will look for selling opportunities.

GBPUSD at Key Resistance Level: Will it Drop To 1.26900?OANDA:GBPUSD is currently trading at a key resistance zone, where sellers may regain control. This level has been a strong area of interest in the past, suggesting the potential for another bearish reaction if sellers step in. If the price confirms rejection from this zone, a move lower toward 1.26900 is likely. However, a strong breakout above could invalidate this setup, shifting momentum back to the bulls. Traders should monitor for bearish confirmation signals, such as bearish engulfing candles, long upper wicks rejecting the resistance, or increased selling volume before considering short positions.

Fundamental Market Analysis for March 11, 2025 GBPUSDThe GBP/USD pair is recovering the previous session's losses, trading near 1.28900 during Asian hours on Tuesday. The pair is rising on the back of a weaker US dollar amid concerns that tariff policy uncertainty could lead the US economy into recession. Weaker-than-expected U.S. employment data for February reinforced expectations of multiple rate cuts by the Federal Reserve (Fed) this year. LSEG data shows that traders now expect a total of 75 basis points (bps) in rate cuts, with the June rate cut already fully priced in. However, Fed Chairman Jerome Powell reassured markets that the central bank sees no immediate need to adjust monetary policy despite growing uncertainty. San Francisco Fed Chair Mary Daly supported that view on Sunday, noting that rising uncertainty in the business environment may reduce demand but is not a reason to change the interest rate. As the Federal Reserve enters the black period ahead of its March 19 meeting, the central bank's comments this week will be limited. Investors now await the release of the February Consumer Price Index (CPI) on Wednesday to get further insight into inflation trends. Trading recommendation: SELL 1.28900, SL 1.29500, TP 1.27800
