GBPUSD FUNDAMENTALS AND TECHNICAL ANALYSISGBPUSD is currently trading at 1.265, showing strong bullish momentum as it finds solid support at this level. The gradual increase in trading volume indicates growing interest from buyers, suggesting that the pair is gaining strength for a potential move toward the 1.288 target. If this support level holds, we could see further bullish continuation in the coming sessions. From a technical perspective, GBPUSD is respecting key support, with increasing volume confirming buyer interest. A break above minor resistance levels could further accelerate the uptrend, providing a clear path toward 1.288. If price action remains above 1.260, it will reinforce the bullish outlook, while traders should watch for any pullbacks as potential buying opportunities. Fundamentally, GBPUSD's strength is influenced by a softer US dollar as expectations around the Federal Reserve’s rate policy shift. Any dovish signals from the Fed or weaker US economic data could push the dollar lower, giving GBP an advantage. Additionally, positive UK economic indicators or a hawkish stance from the Bank of England could further support the pair’s bullish momentum. In summary, GBPUSD is holding strong support with increasing volume, signaling potential upside toward 1.288. If this bullish momentum sustains, traders could capitalize on the breakout, with confirmation needed through technical signals and macroeconomic developments. Keep an eye on resistance levels and market sentiment for further validation.

GBPUSD Uptrend continuation The GBP/USD currency pair maintains a bullish intraday bias, supported by the longer-term prevailing uptrend. However, price action near key levels suggests potential short-term corrections before the next directional move is confirmed. Bullish Scenario: The key level to watch is 1.2560, which marks the February 28th swing low and serves as a pivotal support zone. A corrective pullback toward 1.2560 could provide a buying opportunity if support holds. A bullish bounce from this level could drive the pair toward 1.2680, followed by 1.2720, with 1.2740 acting as a longer-term resistance. Bearish Scenario: A confirmed breakdown below 1.2560 and a daily close beneath this level would weaken the bullish outlook. This could trigger a deeper retracement toward 1.2520, with further downside risk extending to 1.2460 if selling pressure persists. A sustained move below 1.2460 could signal a shift in trend dynamics, increasing the likelihood of further downside. Conclusion: While the broader trend remains bullish, short-term corrections are possible. A successful defence of 1.2560 could reaffirm the uptrend, while a break below this level would expose 1.2520 and 1.2460 as key downside targets. Traders should monitor price action at these levels to assess momentum shifts.

GBPUSD 1W analysisGBP/USD: Simple Trading Tips for Beginner Traders on February 24. Forex Trade Analysis Analysis of Trades and Trading Tips for the British Pound The test of the 1.2655 price level occurred when the MACD indicator was just starting to rise from the zero mark, confirming a strong entry point for buying the pound. However, as shown on the chart, the pair did not experience significant growth, leading to locked-in losses. The relatively modest data on UK manufacturing PMI and services PMI limited the pound's growth on Friday. Nevertheless, the overall outlook for the pound remains positive. Despite fluctuations, it continues to receive support from big buyers, even in light of expectations for Bank of England rate cuts. Today, the market will focus on the rhetoric of BoE representatives regarding inflation and the future outlook for interest rate hikes. Investors will look for hints about how quickly the BoE intends to ease its tight monetary policy. More hawkish statements, implying a longer period of high rates, could support the pound, while dovish signals indicating imminent rate cuts may lead to its weakening. Of particular interest is Swati Dhingra's stance, known for her cautious approach to rate hikes. Her comments will be closely analyzed for any potential shift in her position influenced by the latest economic data. Any change in her rhetoric could significantly impact market expectations. For intraday strategy, I will focus more on implementing Scenarios #1 and #2.

GBPUSD: The trend of discounts prevails?Hello everyone, great to have you back for today's discussion on GBPUSD! Currently, GBPUSD has extended its decline, trading below 1.2600 as market pressure intensifies. Risk sentiment has worsened following a series of U.S. economic data releases, which indicate weakness in the overall U.S. economy while also signaling a persistent rise in core inflationary pressures. From a technical standpoint, the pair has broken below the ascending trendline, confirming a bearish breakout. The bearish momentum remains strong, with no clear signs of a bottom forming yet. If GBPUSD stages a corrective pullback, it is likely to face resistance around the 0.5-0.618 Fibonacci retracement zone, which aligns with the confluence of EMA 34, EMA 89, and the newly established resistance area. This setup could reinforce selling pressure, making it a key level to watch.
