British PMIs fall, Trump says won't fire PowellThe British pound dropped as much as 0.7% earlier today and is under pressure. In the North American session, GBP/USD is trading at 1.3265, down 0.45% on the day. The pound has taken advantage of broad US dollar weakness recently, rising 3% in the month of April. On Tuesday, the pound climbed as high as 1.3423, its highest level since September 2024. UK PMIs reports softened in April, another reminder that that the UK economy is struggling. The Services PMI fell to 48.9 from 52.5 in March, below the market estimate of 51.3. There are growing fears that the UK will fall into recession and global economic uncertainty has led to decreased business activity. The Manufacturing PMI eased to 44.0, matching the market estimate but lower than the March reading of 44.9. This was the lowest reading since August 2023 as the deteriorating global market outook has reduced demand for UK exports. The increase in employer tax contributions has hurt employment and lowered confidence. The International Monetary Fund has lowered its 2025 global growth forecast to 2.8, down from 3.3% in January. The downgrade was in response to US tariffs and the IMF warned that an escalation of trade tensions between the US and other countries would create further market volatility and lead to even lower growth. US stock markets are sharply higher on Wednesday after President Trump said that he had no intention to fire Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell. Trump had intensified his attacks on Powell in recent days, resulting in sharp slides in US equity markets and the US dollar. Trump also said that China tariffs would drop "substantially" and investors hope this signals a de-escalation in the nasty trade war between the US and China.

THOUGHTS ON THE GBP/USD MARKETGBP/USD 1H - Yes we are wanting to see weakness in the USD this week, however price may trade us lower initially to clear the orders fully before the move higher. We have seen that price has broken structure fractally on the 30M timeframes, again this could be short lived and this could be just to clear the inefficient structure before taking us higher again, missing the zone we have marked out below. This is why it is important that with every trade we place we wait for relevant confirmation before entering to avoid getting caught out. I will be waiting for price to trade us up and breaking structure fractally before I look to take the market short. Even then it will only be an intraday/day trade, one that I will look to close by the end of week. I will keep you all posted with anything I do on this pair. SIT ON YOUR HANDS AND WAIT!

GBPUSD Short 4/22/2025GBP/USD Short Setup – Multi-Timeframe Rejection at September High We're entering a short on GBP/USD based on a clean confluence of structure, pattern, and timing. Daily Chart: Price is rejecting a key resistance level from the week of September 20–27 — the high from that week has now been tapped five times in the last week, with today marking yet another rejection. Intraday Timing: Yesterday (Monday): London session tapped the September high. Today (Tuesday): Pre-London rally hit that same level and failed again. This sets the tone for a double-tap liquidity run that’s now looking exhausted. 4H Chart: Bearish rejection wick is forming (potential hammer) — still two hours left, but current structure suggests selling pressure off the highs. 1H Chart: We’ve printed a clean double top, and the most recent candle is closing as a bearish engulfing, rejecting straight off the key zone. Entry: 1.33932 Stop: 1.34303 Target 1 (conservative): 1:1.2 R:R — midline from Sunday’s Asia session. Target 2 (extension): 1.32986 — a clear structural level and liquidity pocket from previous demand. With momentum turning and buyers failing to break higher despite multiple attempts, this setup leans heavily bearish for the next few sessions
