GBPUSD | Perspective for the new week | Follow-up
Updated
Amidst a backdrop of economic uncertainty, the US Dollar has managed to hold its ground, gaining modest strength against various currencies. This resilience comes on the back of a surprising surge in the US economy, defying recession fears that have loomed since 2022. Data reveals a robust 4.9% growth rate in the third quarter, marking the fastest pace in nearly two years. Despite this positive momentum, the market remains on edge, balancing optimism from strong economic data against concerns of higher rates and a more restrictive Federal Reserve.
Meanwhile, the GBPUSD pair has maintained a steady position above the $1.2100 mark throughout October. Despite attempts to capitalize on this demand zone, the Pound struggles in the face of hawkish Fed expectations, which bolster the USD and limit upward movements. The anticipated Bank of England decision to maintain interest rates at 5.25% on November 2 adds another layer of complexity, potentially hindering bullish bets around the British Pound and capping the GBPUSD pair.
GBPUSD Technical Analysis:
Will the pound find solid support at the $1.20500 zone, or are we heading towards a potential breakdown and a possible sell-off? The stakes are high, and we're on the edge of our seats!
The spotlight is on high-impact economic events from both the US dockets for clues. Brace yourselves as the anticipation and the actual events may trigger sharp price movements that could present incredible trading opportunities.
In this video, we've analyzed the Daily and 4-hour timeframes, exploring bullish and bearish sentiments to uncover the most promising trades for the week ahead. We've delved into key levels, trendlines, and support/resistance points, unveiling essential insights into the current market structure.
Keep a close eye on that demand zone at $1.20500. It's a decisive moment where both sellers and buyers are vying for control, and how the market reacts here will set the course for GBPUSD in the upcoming days.

Our buy position remains intact as price action reaches a new high at the 1.21740 zone. However, it is important to consider that the recent decline, or retracement [to be on the positive side], may be in play because of the perceived potential US Dollar recovery. Concerns about China's economic growth and the impact on risk sentiment may support the US Dollar. In today's economic calendar, we anticipate crucial data releases from the US economic docket: the August Housing Price Index and the Conference Board’s Consumer Confidence Index for October, setting the stage for the Federal Reserve’s pivotal monetary policy decisions tomorrow - Wednesday. From a technical perspective, the ascending trendline remains unbroken and will continue to guide our trading decisions for today's session. We will delve into the technical aspects of this market condition during our upcoming Forex Morning Mastery session. See you soon!

Despite being taken out of our buy position yesterday with a moderate profit, the Pound Sterling is displaying a defensive stance and is holding steady above the range we initially identified at the start of the week, highlighting its potential for further buying opportunities. On the other hand, the US Dollar is maintaining its recovery gains, supported by higher Treasury yields, as market participants anticipate the Federal Reserve's decision. Additionally, attention is also focused on the upcoming US jobs data and ISM PMI figures.Today, all eyes are on the highly awaited Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) policy meeting, ahead of the upcoming Bank of England Interest rate decision on Thursday. Our bullish outlook persists as long as the Pound Sterling remains above the 1.21330 level. However, it's essential to exercise caution due to the potential market volatility induced by these significant economic events. Protecting existing positions is crucial in navigating these uncertain waters.
Happy New Month!

Today, the Bank of England's Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) will convene to determine the course of monetary policy and subsequently disclose their decision. It is widely anticipated that the BoE will maintain the base rate at 5.25%. Considering the likelihood of volatility before or after the announcement, it is advisable to protect all buy positions.

Following the Bank of England's decision to keep interest rates unchanged and supported by a weaker US Dollar, the Pound Sterling closed around the 1.2200 zone in yesterday's trading session, marking its highest price level in the past week. During the press conference, BoE Governor Andrew Bailey hinted at the possibility of an additional rate hike but dismissed the idea of rate cuts. As a result, the GBPUSD pair is attracting buyers as the US Dollar struggles from the aftermath of the Fed's actions and ahead of the crucial US jobs data today.From a technical perspective, our portfolio gained over 150 pips from four buy positions, thanks to the ascending trendline identified at the beginning of the week, which remains intact.
