The NFP report came in HOT, much higher than expected:

Actual: 228K

Forecast: 135K | Previous (Revised Upwards): 117K

However, the unemployment rate also ticked higher to 4.2% vs. the forecast of 4.1%.

Key Levels to Watch,

For GU: 1.2950 support, 1.3050 resistance
For GJ: 190.00 psychological level

> Impact on GBP/USD (GU)

🔹 Initial Reaction: Strong NFP = USD Bullish > GBP/USD drops
🔹 BUT Unemployment Rate Higher, this could limit USD strength if markets think the Fed will still cut rates later.
🔹 GU Bias: Short-term bearish, but watch Fed commentary & risk sentiment.

> Impact on GBP/JPY (GJ)

🔹 Stronger USD lifts USD/JPY > Pulls GBP/JPY up
🔹 Risk sentiment , If markets focus on strong NFP, GJ can rally. If they focus on higher unemployment (slower economy), JPY could strengthen & push GJ lower.

NFP release on April 4 at 15:30 is crucial for and

Here's what to expect based on the forecasted numbers,

- Forecast: 135K (Previous: 151K) → A weaker labor market expectation.

- Unemployment Rate Forecast: 4.1% (Previous: 4.1%) → No change expected, but any surprise deviation will be key.

1. NFP Comes in Lower than Expected (<135K)

- USD Weakens: A weak jobs report signals a slowing economy, increasing bets that the Fed might cut rates sooner.

- GBP/USD Bullish: Dollar weakness would push GBP/USD higher.

- GBP/JPY Mixed: If USD/JPY drops on weak NFP, GJ might struggle to rally aggressively.

2. NFP Beats Expectations (>135K)

- USD Strengthens: Strong labor data reduces the urgency for rate cuts, strengthening the dollar.

- GBP/USD Bearish: A strong NFP could reinforce downside pressure, continuing the recent GBP/USD drop.

- GBP/JPY Bullish: If the USD strengthens and risk appetite remains stable, GJ could rally as JPY remains weak.

The NFP will be a make-or-break moment for GBP pairs. Watch for deviations from the forecast,

> Weaker NFP = bullish GU, cautious GJ

> Stronger NFP = bearish GU, bullish GJ

- Expect high volatility during the release. Trade Safe!
