How might the UK CPI report influence GBP/USD?UK CPI inflation unexpectedly dropped to 2.5% year-on-year from 2.7%. So how does this influence GBP/USD? The ongoing downturn in the UK bond market signals a bleak economic outlook and rising concerns about inflation during the presidency of Donald Trump’s second term. This scenario may compel the Bank of England (BoE) to implement significant interest rate cuts in response to the fragile economic conditions, potentially driving GBP/USD below 1.2000. When inflation falls beneath its target, it often indicates a slowdown in economic growth. In such cases, the BoE may opt to lower interest rates to make borrowing cheaper, aiming to encourage businesses to invest in growth-oriented projects. However, this tends to weaken the Pound, as lower interest rates reduce the UK’s appeal as a destination for international investors to allocate their funds.

DAY 8: PATIENCE WINS TRADES NOT TRADING.Welcome back to my trading page ,it's another week to reap some rewards.I am well aware markets open on Monday and probably many of you have made money already or not.Having been away for two trading days I have missed a lot but not really of a loss. On Monday we did not have any impactful news and as the norm we created the weekly dealing range on most pairs,this is following Fridays release of NFP data which resulted in a strong dollar(DXY). On Tuesday we had the release of PPI data which were disappointing for the dollar which resulted in a bearish DXY but we didn't break either sides of the dealing range. Therefore to this point we note that we have not broken the weekly dealing range and we still have data yet to be released which is the CPI. We had CPI for the pound earlier in the morning which resulted in a weak pound and the cable sold off but recovered in the later stages of the London session. Today CPI data is set to be red hot and I would advice against trading before it's release which is 9:30am New York time and 4:30pm Kenyan time. For the cable( GBPUSD) we are dealing in a range between 1.22500 and 1.21050.Current price at time of writing is 1.22200.One thing to remember is we have been in a downtrend in this pair and riding the wave is easier than riding against it.Clean break above the weekly high will see GBP seek higher prices but I expect a retest of the high and likely test new lows below 1.21050. My chart is attached below for the said idea. WARNING: THIS IS NOT FINANCIAL ADVICE.LOOK BEFORE YOU LEAP.

GBP/USD Analysis: Bulls Find Renewed HopeGBP/USD Analysis: Bulls Find Renewed Hope This morning, UK inflation data was released, as reported by ForexFactory: Consumer Price Index (CPI): actual = 2.5%, expected = 2.6%, previous = 2.6%; Core CPI: actual = 3.2%, expected = 3.4%, previous = 3.5%. The foreign exchange market reacted with a surge in volatility as UK inflation showed a decline. At the same time, a technical analysis of the GBP/USD chart offers some hope for bulls following a drop of more than 9% from the peaks of September 2024 (interestingly, on 10th September 2024, we noted that bulls were facing challenges). When analysing today’s GBP/USD price movements, we observe that at the start of 2025, the price has approached a key support zone formed by: the lower boundary of the descending channel (drawn in red); the psychological level of 1.2000; the significant 2023 low around the 1.2040 level. The long lower wicks on the 4-hour candles, including today’s (highlighted with an arrow), can be interpreted as a signal of increasing demand. This could be an early sign that the pound is gaining confidence to resist the building pressure from the dollar. Traders’ attention today will be on the release of the US CPI report (at 16:30 GMT+3), which may further support the case for strengthening bulls.

The price has formed a base This analysis focuses on GBP/USD, highlighting a bullish scenario based on price action and key resistance levels. Key Observations: Support Zone: The price has formed a base at the lower highlighted zone (purple rectangle), suggesting a potential bullish continuation from this area. Immediate Resistance: A smaller resistance level is observed just above the current price, around 1.22300, which may act as a retest zone before further upward movement. Target Zone: The upper resistance zone around 1.23200 is the primary target for this bullish setup, as it represents a key area where sellers may re-enter. Trade Idea: Enter a long position after confirmation of support at the lower purple zone, aiming for the 1.23200 resistance zone. Watch for a potential retest of the minor resistance level at 1.22300 before the upward continuation. Considerations: A breakout of the minor resistance zone (1.22300) will strengthen the case for reaching the higher target. Volume analysis also suggests momentum may increase in favor of the buyers. Risk Management: Place a stop-loss below the lower purple zone to manage downside risk, ensuring a favorable risk-to-reward ratio. This setup highlights the importance of observing reactions at resistance levels and retests for confirmation of the bullish move. Let me know if you need refinements!

As of now, no bullish divergence is observed, suggesting that the price may retrace to form a lower high. Key levels to watch for potential short entries are the 50% and 61.8% Fibonacci retracement levels, which align with the bearish trend continuation narrative.

GBP/USD Chart Analysis: Preparing for a Potential Bullish Move wAfter conducting a comprehensive analysis of the GBP/USD currency pair, my observations indicate that we may be on the verge of a bullish move. Current market indicators and technical patterns suggest upward momentum; however, it is essential to remain cautious as there is still uncertainty regarding the possibility of a bearish reversal. In light of this ambiguity, I have opted to adjust our stop-loss margin proactively. This adjustment aims to secure any potential profits while providing an added layer of protection against unexpected market movements. By doing so, we can mitigate risks while allowing room for growth should the bullish trend materialize as anticipated. It will be important to closely monitor key economic data releases and technical signals in the coming days, as they could provide further clarity on market direction. As I position myself for this potential bullish trend, maintaining flexibility in our strategy will be crucial for navigating any shifts that may arise in the GBP/USD landscape. In summary, while current analysis leans towards a bullish outlook for GBP/USD, prudence dictates that we remain vigilant and prepared to adapt our approach based on evolving market conditions.

GBPUSD /Sterling Hits 8-Month Low Amid Bearish MomentumGBP/USD Analysis Sterling Weakens to an 8-Month Low The British pound has dropped to $1.240, marking its lowest level in eight months. This decline is driven by concerns over the UK’s economic resilience and a stronger US dollar. The UK economy remains stagnant, with revised Q3 figures showing no growth, adding to the challenges faced by Prime Minister Keir Starmer's new government. Furthermore, the Bank of England's dovish stance in its final 2024 rate decision has placed additional pressure on the pound. Trade tensions also weigh on the pound, particularly with former US President Trump's proposed tariffs, which could disrupt UK trade. Technical Outlook The GBP/USD pair maintains a bearish momentum, though a correction to 1.2485 is possible, especially if the price stabilizes above 1.2409. If the price breaks 1.2485 and closes a 4-hour candle above it, this could signal the start of a bullish continuation towards 1.2610. Conversely, if the price reverses and stabilizes below 1.2409, it could drop further to test 1.2315. A sustained move below 1.2409 would strengthen the bearish outlook, with potential targets at 1.2315 and 1.2215. Key levels Pivot Line: 1.2409 Resistance lines: 1.2485, 1.2532, 1.2611 Support Lines: 1.2315, 1.2215, 1.2150 Trend Outlook Consolidation: Between 1.2409 and 1.2485 Bearish: Below 1.2400 Bullish: Above 1.2486
