Key Events to Watch
April 9, 2025 (Today):
USD FOMC Minutes (High Impact): A hawkish tone could strengthen the USD, pushing GBP/USD lower, while a dovish approach may support GBP/USD gains.
April 10, 2025 (Tomorrow):
USD Inflation Data: Lower CPI or core inflation figures may weaken the USD and favor GBP/USD bullish moves.
Jobless Claims: Rising claims could signal labor market weakness, further pressuring the USD.
April 11, 2025 (Friday):
GBP GDP & Trade Balance: Positive data could strengthen the GBP, aligning with bullish chart patterns.
USD PPI & Consumer Sentiment: Higher producer prices or sentiment could support USD recovery.
Trading Considerations
FOMC Impact: Hawkish minutes may trigger bearish GBP/USD moves, while a dovish tone supports a bullish outlook.
Key Levels: Watch 1.2780–1.2790 (support) and 1.2830–1.2850 (resistance) for trading decisions.
Volatility Management: ATR (~0.00356) suggests tight stop-losses during high-impact news.
My Take
Given the bullish technical setup but acknowledging the risk from upcoming high-impact news, I lean toward caution. At this point of my trading career i'm not comfortable with aggressive trading. A well-defined long trade near 1.279–1.280 could be rewarding—but i'm prepared for rapid moves on news releases.
Aggressive Option: Enter long around support now with tight stops and target 1.283–1.285, but be very nimble in managing your position amid the news.
Conservative Option: Wait for the market to digest the FOMC minutes and inflation data, then look for a confirmed breakout or reversal that aligns with the bullish technical signals.
I think ill wait for the news... it's in about 2 hours. see ya then!
