GBPUSD Pair: Bullish Carry Trade Formations from AsiaBy Ion Jauregui – Analyst, ActivTrades The pair advanced throughout the Asian session, pushing the dollar higher against the pound sterling. A combination of discouraging UK economic data and persistent signs of macro weakness—despite mixed JOLTS employment figures in a clearly disinflationary U.S. economy—could pave the way for Federal Reserve rate cuts. Although UK PMI data beat expectations at 45.4 points last month and bank lending to individuals has been rising, the growth in money supply highlights increased household indebtedness against a backdrop of fewer mortgage approvals. Today’s dollar strength may be driven by this dovish monetary bias. Key indicators have yet to be released, but the scheduled speech by New York Fed President John Williams could offer clues about the Fed’s cut timeline. The recent dollar weakness aligns with market pricing for up to four 25-basis-point rate cuts before year-end. The latest range suggests carry-trade movements between the April 28 high at $1.34432 and today’s support zone around $1.32597. The point of control (POC) sits just above that support and below the current price. Delta zones mark strong resistance near $1.33271, a level tested on four previous occasions. The RSI rests in light oversold territory at 49.27%, having recovered from 24–26% in yesterday’s session. It’s highly likely the dollar will see pronounced moves today following the Non-Farm Payrolls (NFP) release, given the market’s bearish expectations and rumors of potential U.S. “stagflation.” The pound remains on the front foot against the dollar, supported by a macro-technical backdrop that favors further gains—provided no surprises emerge from U.S. data. The immediate focus is on employment figures and monetary policy signals. ******************************************************************************************* The information provided does not constitute investment research.

Sterling Bulls Wrestle 2024 HighsThe British Pound has rallied more than 11.1% off the yearly low with GBP/USD trading into uptrend resistance at fresh yearly highs. Building momentum divergence highlights the risk for exhaustion here and while the broader outlook remains constructive, the immediate advance may be vulnerable near-term while below this slope. Initial support rests with the objective weekly open at 1.3313 and is backed by the April opening-range high (ORH) at 1.3207. A break / close below the median-line would be needed to suggest a more significant high was registered this week / a larger correction is underway. Subsequent support seen at 1.3111 with broader bullish invalidation raised to the 1.30-handle. A topside breach / close above the upper parallel would expose subsequent topside objectives at the 2019 high at 1.3515 backed by the 1.36-handle and the 2022 high-day close (HDC) at 1.3705- both levels of interest for possible topside exhaustion / price inflection IF reached. The British Pound rally off the yearly lows has extended into uptrend resistance at the yearly highs on building bearish momentum divergence- mounting risk for exhaustion here. From a trading standpoint, a good zone to reduce portions of long-exposure / raise protective stops- losses should be limited to 1.32 IF price is heading higher on this stretch with a close above the upper parallel needed to fuel the next leg of the advance. -MB

GBP Gains as Tariff Risk Stays LowThe British pound rose to $1.332, near its highest level since February 2022, supported by a weaker U.S. dollar. Sterling gained 3.2% in April, its best month since November 2023. The UK is seen as less exposed to U.S. tariffs, which President Trump has delayed until July. In 2024, the U.S. ran a $12 billion goods surplus with the UK, unlike its deficits with China and the EU, reducing trade risk. The pound also benefits from expectations that the Bank of England will be more cautious than others in cutting rates. Markets expect about 85 basis points of easing this year, which is in line with the Fed. Investors now await key U.S. jobs and inflation data for dollar direction. If GBP/USD breaks above 1.3430, the next resistance levels are 1.3500 and 1.3550. Support levels are at 1.3200, followed by 1.3050 and 1.2960.

Pound Pressured by BOE Cut ExpectationsGBP/USD dipped to approximately 1.3425 during early Asian trading on Tuesday, as a slight rebound in the U.S. dollar put pressure on the pair. The dollar was supported by easing U.S.-China trade tensions, following China’s decision to exempt certain U.S. imports from tariffs, despite its denial of ongoing negotiations. Meanwhile, expectations of a 25 basis point rate cut by the Bank of England in May continue to weigh on the pound. Markets are now focused on an upcoming speech by BoE Deputy Governor Dave Ramsden, with any dovish remarks likely to add further downside pressure on the GBP. If GBP/USD breaks above 1.3430, resistance levels are at 1.3500 and 1.3550. Support is at 1.3200, followed by 1.3050 and 1.2960.
