GBP/USD Longs from 1.25800 up to the 7hr supplyFor this week, I expect GBP/USD to retrace back to the clean, unmitigated 18-hour demand zone before pushing back up toward the 7-hour supply zone that I previously marked. If this move doesn’t play out as expected, I anticipate price will first mitigate the 7-hour supply zone before slowing down and distributing within my point of interest (POI). From there, I’ll be watching for a short move back to the 18-hour demand zone, where I plan to enter buys and continue trading in alignment with the overall market trend. Since price is currently near both POIs, I’ll be keeping a close eye on this setup. Confluences for GU Buys: ✅ Strong bullish trend with consistent breakouts to the upside. ✅ 18-hour demand zone remains unmitigated and was the origin of the last bullish move. ✅ 7-hour supply zone above that also needs to be mitigated. ✅ The Dollar Index (DXY) has been very bearish, further supporting GBP strength. Alternative Scenario: If price reacts strongly from the 7-hour supply zone and breaks below the 18-hour demand, I’ll shift my focus to my next buy zone around 1.25200. Wishing everyone a profitable trading week—let’s finish it in BLUES! 🔵

Fundamental Market Analysis for February 21, 2025 GBPUSDThe GBP/USD pair declined after hitting a two-month high of 1.26740 on Friday and was trading near 1.26700 at the time of writing during the Asian session. However, the pair strengthened as the US Dollar (USD) struggled amid weak jobless claims data and mixed signals from the Federal Reserve (Fed). Initial jobless claims in the US rose to 219,000 in the week ended February 14, above the expected 215,000. Jobless claims also rose slightly to 1.869 million, just below the forecast of 1.87 million. Additionally, GBP/USD rose amid improving market sentiment after US President Donald Trump signaled potential progress in trade talks with China, easing market fears over tariffs. On Thursday, Fed chief Adriana Kugler said U.S. inflation still has “some way to go” before it reaches its 2% target, acknowledging uncertainty in the future, Reuters reported. Meanwhile, St. Louis Fed President Alberto Musalem emphasized the potential risks of stagflation and rising inflation expectations. Atlanta Fed President Rafael Bostic left open the possibility of two rate cuts this year depending on economic conditions. Trading recommendation: SELL 1.26700, SL 1.27300, TP 1.25600

GBP.USD Longs from 1.25600 back upI expect GBP/USD to continue its bullish momentum and push higher. Following the previous break of structure, I am looking for price to mitigate the 2-hour demand zone to maintain this upward trend. If price does not react from this level, I have also identified a 3-hour demand zone as a secondary point of interest. If price reacts bullishly from either of these zones, my next selling opportunity will be at the refined 1-hour supply zone around 1.26600. Once price reaches this level, I will look for signs of distribution to confirm a potential short setup. Confluences for GU Buys: - For price to continue higher, it must mitigate a strong demand zone to gain momentum. - Liquidity remains above, providing a natural target for price. - The higher time frame trend is still bullish. - Clean 2-hour, 3-hour, and 11-hour demand zones are in close proximity. - DXY has been bearish, which aligns with this bullish GU outlook. P.S. If price drops instead, I have an extreme discounted zone marked at the 11-hour demand zone at the bottom as a potential long entry.

GBP/USD Analysis by zForex Research TeamGBP/USD Recovers as Trump Pauses Tariffs, But Risks Persist The British pound rebounded above $1.24 after falling to $1.225, following Trump’s deal with Mexico’s President Sheinbaum to pause tariffs for a month. Uncertainty remains as Trump imposed 25% tariffs on Canada and Mexico, 10% on China, and threatened the EU and UK. Growing trade tensions have fueled expectations of Bank of England rate cuts, with markets pricing in 81bps of cuts by December and a 95% chance of a 25bps cut to 4.5% this Thursday. The first resistance level for the pair will be 1.2450. In the event of this level's breach, the next levels to watch would be 1.2500 and 1.2600. On the downside 1.2265 will be the first support level. 1.2100 and 1.1900 are the next levels to monitor if the first support level is breached.

GBP/USD Longs from 1.22400 to fill market gapI expect GBP/USD to start the week with a bullish move, as price has gapped down significantly, altering my initial perspective from Sunday. This gap has also led to a break of structure to the downside. Looking at the current price action, I’ve identified a clean 3-hour demand zone nearby. Price has already shown an initial bullish reaction from this level, but if it fails to hold, there is a deeper 4-hour demand zone where we could also expect a reaction. Confluences for GU Buys: - The price gap has left a significant imbalance that needs to be filled. - Price is currently in a 3-hour demand zone that previously caused a Break of Structure (BOS), making it a valid POI. - There is a large pool of liquidity to the upside that needs to be taken. - The setup aligns well with the DXY correlation. Note: If price reacts as expected, I will look for potential shorting opportunities around the 1.2400 region, where a 2-hour supply zone is located. Have a great trading week ahead, everyone!

Fundamental Market Analysis for January 30, 2025 GBPUSDThe GBP/USD pair is trading slightly higher around 1.24450 in the early hours of European trading on Thursday. The moderate decline in the US dollar is providing some support to the major pair. Investors will be keeping a close eye on the preliminary US gross domestic product (GDP) data for the fourth quarter (Q4), due for release later today. GBP/USD spun in a tight circle on Wednesday, briefly dipping into the 1.24000 area after the Federal Reserve (Fed) left interest rates unchanged. Interest rate futures markets generally predicted no movement on interest rates as the Fed sees little reason to rush into further rate cuts. The second half of the trading week will see the release of key U.S. data to see if the Fed did the right thing. On Wednesday, the Federal Reserve (Fed) left rates unchanged as futures markets had predicted, with Fed Chairman Jerome Powell reiterating that the Fed takes a data-dependent approach when adjusting rates. Fed Chairman Powell noted that the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) is closely watching what policies US President Donald Trump will pursue, but denied that the newly elected US President has been in direct contact with the Fed. Fed Chairman Powell said that the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) is closely monitoring what policies US President Donald Trump will pursue, but denied that the newly elected US president has had direct contact with the Fed. As an independent federal agency, the White House has little influence over policy recommendations made by the Federal Reserve. Fed Chairman Powell also noted that while inflation is still trending toward the medium target level, the current economic landscape, as well as some concerns about the sweeping trade policies pursued by US President Trump, mean that the Fed is in no hurry to adjust the restrictive nature of rates. Betting markets have lowered their bets on a Fed rate cut in 2025. According to CME's FedWatch tool, rate futures markets are pricing in no change in the federal funds rate until June at the earliest. Trading recommendation: Watch the level of 1.24500, when fixing above it consider Buy positions, when rebounding consider Sell positions.

Fundamental Market Analysis for January 27, 2025 GBPUSDGBPUSD: The GBP/USD pair starts the new week on a weaker note and loses some of Friday's strong gains to the psychological 1.25000 mark, or nearly three-week peak. Spot prices are currently trading around 1.24600, down 0.20% on the day amid modest US Dollar (USD) strength, although the decline is not accompanied by any selling or bearish conviction. The US Dollar Index (DXY), which tracks the dollar against a basket of currencies, is recovering from a more than one-month low amid a flight to safety triggered by US President Donald Trump's decision to impose duties on imports to Colombia. Trump imposed 25 per cent tariffs on all imports from Colombia after the latter refused to allow two US military planes carrying deported migrants to land in the country. Trump also warned that the tariffs would be increased to 50 per cent next week if there was further non-compliance, fuelling fears of global trade wars and dampening investor appetite for riskier assets. However, significant US dollar strength seems unlikely amid rising bets that the Federal Reserve (Fed) will cut borrowing costs twice before the end of this year amid signs that US inflationary pressures are easing. Expectations were further heightened following comments by Trump last Thursday, who said he would call for an immediate cut in interest rates. This led to a fresh drop in US Treasury bond yields, which should curb further dollar strength. In addition, uncertainty over the prospects of a rate cut by the Bank of England (BoE) in February is helping to limit GBP/USD losses. Trading recommendation: Trade mainly with Sell orders from the current price level.

Pound Awaits Direction Ahead of PMI DataMacro: The pound weakened due to the absence of significant economic data as markets look for new catalysts. Today's movement is expected to align with dollar trends while traders focus on tomorrow's S&P Global PMI releases. UK and US Jan PMI figures are anticipated to show mixed results, with services slowing and manufacturing rebounding. Technical: - GBPUSD failed to break above its resistance of 1.2320/70, coinciding with EMA21. The price is below both EMAs, indicating that downward momentum persists. - If GBPUSD remains below 1.2320, the price could shrink to its next support of 1.1940.  - Conversely, staying above 1.2320/70 may prompt a retest at its nearby resistance 2520.

GBP/USD Shorts from 1.22800 back downMy idea for GBP/USD (GU) this week is slightly different from the others. Currently, GU is positioned between significant liquidity zones, with the most immediate valid POI being the 50-minute supply zone located above the Asian high. I expect the price to sweep that liquidity before reacting to the supply zone and targeting the trendline liquidity below. After the liquidity sweep and a break of structure, a new supply zone is likely to form. However, at this stage, price action is less clear compared to how EUR/USD (EU) is moving. Therefore, I’ll exercise extra caution in my confluences and avoid overly ambitious take-profit targets. Confluences for GU Sells: Significant liquidity below in the form of a trendline that needs to be taken. A clean 50-minute supply zone sitting above a pool of liquidity. GU remains bearish overall on higher time frames. The POI is at an extreme point within the current structure. DXY remains bullish, supporting this bearish outlook for GU. Note: If the price breaks the supply zone and then forms a break of structure to the upside, I’ll shift my focus to buy opportunities, similar to my plan for EU. Have a great trading week, everyone!

GBP/USD Shorts from 1.23000 or 1.25000 back down...My analysis for GBP/USD (GU) this week focuses on the continuation of the bearish trend, as the price has been consistently breaking structure to the downside. I anticipate that the price will follow through and mitigate a nearby supply level, creating an opportunity to capitalize on the current market conditions. I’ll be looking to take sell positions once the price reaches one of my identified supply levels, such as the 5-hour or 7-hour zones. At these levels, I expect the price to slow down on the lower time frames, signalling a continuation of the bearish trend. If the price moves lower and taps into the 1-hour demand zone, we could see a temporary bullish reaction before the downtrend resumes. Confluences for GU Sells: - The price remains very bearish on the higher time frames. - The DXY is strongly bullish, aligning with this bearish trend for GU. - A clean supply zone has caused a Break of Structure (BOS) to the downside. - The market is forming lower lows and lower highs. - Liquidity below still needs to be taken. Note: If the price continues to drop without tapping into my POIs, I’ll wait for another break of structure, which may create a new supply zone. Alternatively, I might look for a counter-trend buy from a valid demand zone back up to a supply level.

Fundamental Market Analysis for January 9, 2024 GBPUSDNo meaningful economic data from the UK, which is a recurring theme for the first full trading week of 2025. Cable traders will continue to be affected by flows in and out of the US Dollar in the broad market as traders prepare for a hectic end to the week. On Thursday, traders can expect a slew of speeches from Federal Reserve (Fed) policymakers as well as the Challenger jobs cut for December, which will be the final blow to preliminary Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP) data before Friday's big labor data release. On Wednesday, ADP's Employment Change report pointed to a slower pace of hiring than expected in December, with a total of 122k jobs created compared to the expected 140k and November's 146k. In addition, ADP's payroll data showed the slowest growth since mid-2021. On the same day, minutes from the Federal Reserve's most recent meeting showed that policymakers may be more concerned about President Donald Trump's proposed tariffs than previously thought. Over the past few weeks, Fed officials have downplayed the possible impact of immigration and trade policies on their decisions, but the latest policy meeting featured four discussions of significant changes to U.S. policy that could have a profound impact on central banks. In addition, Fed members agreed that it is time to slow the pace of rate cuts, emphasizing that policy uncertainty plays a critical role in lowering their expectations for fewer rate cuts in 2025 than the market had previously anticipated. Trading recommendation: Trade predominantly with Sell orders from the current price level.

Fundamental Market Analysis for Januaryr 6, 2024 GBPUSDGBP/USD is unable to capitalize on the modest gains of Friday's recovery and is fluctuating in a range above the 1.2400 mark at the start of the new week. Spot prices, meanwhile, remain near the lowest level since April 2024 reached last week and appear vulnerable to an extension of the three-month downtrend amid a bullish US Dollar (USD). In fact, the US Dollar Index (DXY), which tracks the USD against a basket of currencies, is holding near a two-year high amid optimism over US President-elect Donald Trump's expansionary policies and the Federal Reserve's (Fed) hawkish outlook. Furthermore, concerns over Trump's sweeping tariffs, as well as geopolitical risks related to the war between Russia and Ukraine and rising tensions in the Middle East, are supporting the safe-haven Dollar and acting as a headwind for GBP/USD. Meanwhile, sentiment around the British Pound (GBP) remains weak amid a series of weak UK data recently and doubts over the newly elected Labor government's fiscal strategy. In addition, the relatively soft stance of the Bank of England (BoE) and the decision to leave interest rates unchanged in December by a split vote may continue to weigh on GBP. This confirms a negative outlook on GBP/USD as traders await the final UK Services PMI to gain fresh momentum. Trading Recommendation: Watch the level of 1.2400, if consolidated below consider Sell positions, if rebounded consider Buy positions.

Fundamental Market Analysis for December 31, 2024 GBPUSDThe GBP/USD pair is recovering the previous session's losses, trading around 1.25500 during Asian hours on Tuesday. The pair's growth can be attributed to the weakening of the US dollar (USD) amid a decline in US Treasury bond yields. The U.S. Dollar Index (DXY), which measures the value of the U.S. dollar against six major peers, remains low around 108.00. The dollar ran into trouble when U.S. Treasury bond yields fell about 2% on Monday. The 2-year and 10-year bond yields were 4.24% and 4.53%, respectively. The U.S. Federal Reserve announced a more cautious outlook for additional rate cuts in 2025, marking a shift in monetary policy stance. This development underscores the uncertainty over future policy adjustments amid the expected economic strategies of the incoming Trump administration. The British Pound came under pressure as traders slightly increased their dovish bets on Bank of England (BoE) policy in 2025. Market expectations now reflect a 53 basis points (bps) interest rate cut next year, down from the 46 bps projected after the Dec. 19 policy announcement, during which the Bank of England kept rates at 4.75% with a 6-3 vote split. Trading Recommendation: Watch the level of 1.25500, if consolidated below consider Sell positions, if rebounded consider Buy positions.

Fundamental Market Analysis for December 19, 2024 EURUSDThe Pound-Dollar pair is strengthening after dropping more than 1% following the hawkish decision by the Federal Reserve (Fed) on Wednesday and is trading near 1.25900 in Asian hours on Thursday. The Pound Sterling (GBP) is receiving upward support as the Bank of England (BoE) is expected to leave interest rates unchanged later in the day, while maintaining focus on addressing elevated domestic inflation. On Wednesday, data emerged that the U.K. Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose 2.6% year-over-year in November after rising 2.3% in October. The core CPI, which excludes volatile food and energy, rose 3.5% year-on-year in November, up from a previous increase of 3.3%. Meanwhile, annualized services inflation remained at 5%, below the forecast of 5.1% but above the Bank of England's estimate of 4.9%. GBP/USD declined on the back of a stronger US Dollar as the Federal Reserve (Fed) decided to cut rates by 25 basis points (bps) at its December meeting on Wednesday, bringing the benchmark lending rate to a range of 4.25%-4.50%, a two-year low. On Thursday, traders will be watching for weekly data on initial jobless claims, existing home sales and the final annualized third quarter (Q3) gross domestic product. Trading recommendation: Watch the level of 1.26000, if the level is fixed above consider Buy positions, if the level rebounds consider Sell positions.

GBP/USD Sells from 1.2700 back downThis week, I expect GBP/USD to continue its downtrend, following a clear change in character and a break of structure on the higher timeframe, signaling bearish momentum. My primary plan is to wait for a retest of the 2-hour supply zone, located above the Asia high. Once the Asia high is taken, I’ll look for confluences to execute potential sell trades. If the 2-hour supply zone fails to hold, I’ll shift my focus to the 10-hour supply zone, which represents a significant structural point. Should price distribute in this area, I’ll look for major sells to align with the prevailing bearish trend. Confluences for GBP/USD Sells: - Liquidity Below: There’s substantial liquidity to the downside waiting to be taken. - Bearish Momentum: The pair has been bearish over the past two weeks. - Break of Structure: Price has broken key levels to the downside on the higher timeframe. - DXY Correlation: The dollar index (DXY) is aligning with this bearish setup. - Key Supply Zone: A well-defined supply zone caused the initial downside move. Note: As price approaches the 8-hour demand zone, I’ll also consider any long opportunities to take price up to the supply zone for a countertrend move, rather than waiting for bearish setups exclusively.

GBP/USD Longs from this weekly demand This week, my analysis suggests that GU is likely to experience a bullish reaction from its current position. Price is sitting within a key weekly demand zone and has already surpassed the 50% retracement mark, signaling a potential area for long opportunities. At the current level, there is a 1-hour demand zone nearby, with another demand zone just below it. I plan to watch for price accumulation in these areas, particularly to take out the weekly low. Once that occurs, I’ll look for my lower time frame confirmation to enter long positions. My primary target will be the Asian session high near the supply zone above. Confluences for GBP/USD Longs: - Liquidity Targets: Significant liquidity rests above, including the Asian session high. - Supply Zone Mitigation: A strong supply zone above has yet to be mitigated. - Retracement Setup: The bearish trend suggests the need for a retracement upward. - Imbalances Above: Price has left clear imbalances that need to be filled. - Weekly Demand Zone: Price is currently reacting within a high-probability weekly demand area. P.S.: If price opens the week with bullish momentum but doesn’t provide a clear entry setup, I’ll shift my focus to the mitigation of the supply zone above. This would present potential sell opportunities to continue the broader bearish trend.

Fundamental Market Analysis for November 21, 2024 GBPUSDThe GBP/USD pair declined to 1.26500 during Asian trading on Thursday. This decline can be attributed to the weakening of the US dollar (USD). The US Dollar Index (DXY), which measures the value of the dollar against six major peers, is holding near 106.50 at the time of writing. However, downside risk to the US Dollar may be limited due to cautious remarks from Federal Reserve (Fed) officials. Boston Fed President Susan Collins said on Wednesday that while further interest rate cuts are necessary, policymakers should proceed cautiously to avoid moving too fast or too slow, Bloomberg reported. Meanwhile, Fed Chair Michelle Bowman emphasized that inflation has remained elevated over the past few months and stressed the need for the Fed to take a cautious approach to rate cuts. The Reuters poll showed that nearly 90% of economists (94 out of 106) expect a 25 bps rate cut in December, which would bring the federal funds rate down to 4.25-4.50%. Economists forecast a slower rate cut in 2025 due to the risk of higher inflation as a result of President-elect Trump's policies. The federal funds rate is forecast to be 3.50-3.75% by the end of 2025, 50 bps above last month's forecast. GBP/USD's upside potential seems restrained due to safe-haven flows amid the escalating conflict between Russia and Ukraine. On Wednesday, Ukraine fired a salvo of British Storm Shadow cruise missiles into Russian territory, marking the latest use of Western weapons against Russian targets. This came after Ukraine used U.S. ATACMS missiles the previous day. Trading recommendation: Trade mainly with Sell orders from the current price level.

Fundamental Market Analysis for November 18, 2024 GBPUSDThe Pound-Dollar pair starts the new week on a subdued note and is consolidating in a range above the round 1.26000 mark, or the lowest level since mid-May, reached on Friday. For now, spot prices appear to have broken a six-day losing streak on the back of a modest decline in the US Dollar, although the fundamental backdrop supports the prospects for an extension of the recent established downtrend. The US Dollar remains on the defensive below the one-year high (YTD) set last Thursday as bulls took a pause to take a breather after the explosive rally following the US election. However, any meaningful decline in the dollar seems unlikely amid expectations that US President-elect Donald Trump's policies are likely to revive inflationary pressures and limit the scope for further rate cuts by the Federal Reserve (Fed). This has been a key driver of the recent rise in US Treasury bond yields, suggesting that the path of least resistance for the US Dollar lies to the upside. The British Pound (GBP), on the other hand, may struggle to attract buyers amid uncertainty over the Bank of England's (BoE) future interest rate path. Data released last week showed that UK wage growth excluding bonuses slowed in September, while the unemployment rate rose to 4.3% from 4.1%. In addition, UK GDP unexpectedly contracted in September for the first time in five months, reinforcing expectations of a BoE rate cut. Nevertheless, Bank of England members are not expected to cut interest rates at the December meeting. This, in turn, makes it reasonable to expect strong follow-through buying to confirm that the GBP/USD pair has formed a short-term bottom. Bearish traders, however, can now wait for a sustained breakout and consolidation below the 1.2600 round figure before placing new bets amid a lack of market-significant economic releases on Monday from both the UK and the US. Trading recommendation: Watch the level of 1.26000, if consolidated below consider Sell positions, if rebounded consider Buy positions.

Fundamental Market Analysis for November 14, 2024 GBPUSDGBP/USD extends its decline to 1.26850 in Asian trading hours on Thursday. The US dollar (USD) rally to the highest level since November 2023 is putting pressure on the major pair. Later on Thursday, Bank of England (BoE) Governor Andrew Bailey will deliver a speech. Data released by the US Department of Labor Statistics on Wednesday showed that the US Consumer Price Index (CPI) matched expectations, rising 2.6% year-on-year in October. Meanwhile, the core CPI, which excludes the more volatile food and energy categories, rose 3.3% y/y in October, matching the forecast. Markets expect the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) to continue cutting rates at its next meeting in December. “The Consumer Price Index offered no surprises, so for now the Fed will continue to cut rates in December. However, next year is a different story given the uncertainty surrounding potential tariffs and other Trump administration measures,” said Ellen Zentner, chief economic strategist at Morgan Stanley Wealth Management. Fed officials remain cautious about cutting rates. On Wednesday, Dallas Fed Chairwoman Laurie Logan said the U.S. central bank should be cautious about further interest rate cuts so as not to inadvertently ignite inflation. In addition, St. Louis Fed President Alberto Musalem said stagnant inflation figures make it difficult for the U.S. central bank to cut rates further. Traders are raising bets on another quarter percent rate cut in December, albeit at a slower pace, before mid-2025. Trading recommendation: Trade predominantly with Sell orders from the current price level.

GU imminent buys to sell idea?My analysis for GBP/USD (GU) is still bearish at the moment, as the DXY (Dollar Index) has been very bullish. Additionally, GU has broken structure to the downside, and there's a clean supply zone that aligns with this bearish trend. However, as price is currently in my demand zone, I will be looking for confirmation to buy temporarily for a retracement. If price does not respect the 1-hour demand zone, I expect it to accumulate slowly, approaching the demand zone below. In that case, I’ll wait for the price to reach this lower zone before looking to buy. If this scenario doesn't play out, I will wait for the price to rally up and then look for short opportunities to sell again. Confluences for a GU Long: - The market has been very bearish, and a pullback is likely. - There is a lot of liquidity to the upside, including Asia session highs and trendline liquidity. - A clean demand zone lies below a liquidity level, offering potential buy opportunities. - The DXY has left imbalances below due to recent news, suggesting the dollar could decline temporarily. Note: If price rallies up and breaks the current high, I would expect an upward continuation, as there's significant liquidity being built up above for GBP/USD. Wishing you a successful trading week ahead!

Fundamental Market Analysis for November 11, 2024 GBPUSDThe GBP/USD pair starts the new week on a softer note, although it fails to find continued selling and remains range-bound around the 1.29000 mark amid mixed fundamentals. The US Dollar (USD) is holding below the four-month high reached last week amid expectations that US President-elect Donald Trump's policies will spur inflation and limit the Federal Reserve's (Fed) ability to aggressively ease policy. This, in turn, is seen as a key factor acting as a headwind for GBP/USD, although the Bank of England's hawkish stance is helping to limit rate cuts. In fact, the Bank of England has warned that the expansive Autumn Budget presented by Chancellor Rachel Reeves is expected to spur inflation, suggesting a cautious stance on rate cuts in 2025. In addition, risk-on sentiment is helping to limit the rise of the safe-haven US Dollar and providing some support for the GBP/USD pair, allowing for some caution before making aggressive bearish bets. Investors also seem reluctant and may prefer to stand back ahead of important macroeconomic releases from the UK and US. This week's economic calendar includes UK employment data on Tuesday, US consumer inflation data and the Producer Price Index (PPI) on Wednesday and Thursday respectively, followed by preliminary UK Q3 GDP and US retail sales on Friday. Trading recommendation: Watch the level of 1.29000, if the level is fixed below consider Sell positions, if the level bounces back consider Buy positions.
