GBP/USD 15M CHART PATTERNGBP/USD 15-Minute Chart Analysis Pattern Observed: The chart clearly shows a Head and Shoulders pattern, a classic bearish reversal signal. Left Shoulder forms first, followed by a higher Head, and then a lower Right Shoulder. A neckline (support line) is drawn connecting the low points between the shoulders and the head. Breakout: Price has broken below the neckline, confirming the Head and Shoulders pattern. A strong red arrow pointing downward indicates expected bearish continuation. Target Point: The projected target based on the Head and Shoulders breakdown is around 1.32000. This is calculated by measuring the height from the head to the neckline and projecting that downward from the breakout point. Moving Averages: 50 SMA (Simple Moving Average) and 90 SMA are shown. Price is trading below these moving averages, supporting a bearish bias. Current Price: Around 1.3298, just below the neckline, retesting slightly. Bias: Bearish, with an expectation for price to continue dropping toward 1.32000. Summary: A classic bearish setup with confirmation. Breakout of the Head and Shoulders suggests continuation toward 1.32000. Watch for any minor pullbacks to the neckline (around 1.3300–1.3310) before further selling pressure resumes.

GBP/USD: The Pound Rebounds Back Above 1.33000During the last trading session, the GBP/USD pair posted a gain of more than 0.5% in favor of the pound, as U.S. dollar weakness continues, even after some positive remarks regarding the U.S.–China trade war. For now, it seems that investors are viewing European currencies as a potential safe haven amid the current wave of economic uncertainty across markets. This shift in sentiment has helped to sustain consistent bullish pressure on the pound in the short term. Broad Ascending Channel Since mid-January, the pair has been forming a strong ascending channel, with price now trading above the 200-period simple moving average, reinforcing long-term bullish momentum. So far, no bearish correction has been strong enough to break the channel, which remains the most relevant technical formation to monitor for upcoming GBP/USD moves. RSI Despite strong bullish momentum, a notable divergence has begun to form on the RSI, as the pair continues to post higher highs in price, while the RSI shows flat peaks in the short term. In addition, the RSI line is hovering near the 70 level, which marks the overbought zone. Both signals suggest a potential imbalance in market forces, possibly opening the door to short-term bearish corrections. Key Levels: 1.33763 – Key Resistance: This level represents the most recent highs reached by GBP/USD. A sustained move above this area could confirm strong bullish momentum and lead to an acceleration within the current channel. 1.30448 – Near Support: This area corresponds to a consolidation zone seen over the past few months. It may serve as a tentative barrier where short-term pullbacks could occur. 1.28248 – Major Support: This is a critical level, aligned with the 200-period simple moving average. A decisive move below this support could invalidate the current bullish formation and potentially trigger a long-term bearish shift. Written by Julian Pineda, CFA – Market Analyst

GBPUSD – Rejected at Multi-Month Resistance Amid Weak UK DataGBPUSD has clearly rejected the 1.3413–1.3443 resistance zone—a key area that previously acted as strong supply in September 2024. The pair has formed a bearish rejection candle and is now showing signs of downward momentum. Key Levels: Resistance: 1.3413 – 1.3443 (major rejection zone) TP1: 1.3176 (minor structure) TP2: 1.3014 (key demand zone) TP3: 1.2890 (deeper support target) Bearish Confluences: Price rejected from major resistance Bearish candle formation Previous similar reaction from the same level Momentum indicators favor downside 📰 Fundamental Analysis: 🔻 UK Data Weakens Further: According to the latest S&P Global Flash UK PMI (Apr 23): Composite Output Index: 48.2 (vs 51.5 in March) – 29-month low Services PMI: 48.9 – 27-month low Manufacturing PMI: 44.0 – 20-month low This shows UK private sector activity contracting, led by a steep fall in new export orders, the worst since May 2020. 🔺 Inflation Still High: Despite falling activity, input and output prices surged, driven by National Insurance hikes and wage growth. This makes it harder for the BoE to justify a cut, despite recession signs. 📌 Conclusion: The bearish rejection at 1.3413 resistance, combined with deteriorating UK fundamentals, suggests a strong downside setup for GBPUSD. A break below 1.3176 would confirm the bearish move, targeting 1.3014 and potentially 1.2890.

GBPUSDThe pair shows resilience against a broadly stronger U.S. dollar, supported by hopes of favorable UK-US trade outcomes and potential Fed rate cuts if U.S. inflation cools. Key Fundamental Drivers Interest Rate Differentials: The Bank of England’s monetary policy versus the Federal Reserve’s stance is a primary driver. A hawkish BoE or dovish Fed tends to strengthen GBP/USD, while the opposite pressures it lower. Economic Data: UK GDP, inflation, employment, and retail sales relative to U.S. data influence directional bias. Softer U.S. inflation data may accelerate Fed rate cuts, weakening the dollar and supporting GBP/USD gains. Political and Geopolitical Factors: Trade negotiations, political stability, and geopolitical tensions affect sentiment and volatility. Positive UK-US trade developments or easing geopolitical risks tend to favor GBP/USD upside. Market Sentiment: Risk appetite influences flows; risk-on environments support the pound, while risk-off favors the safe-haven U.S. dollar Summary of Directional Bias Factors Current Bias Impact on GBP/USD BoE vs Fed Interest Rates Mixed; market waits for clearer signals U.S. Inflation Data Softer data could weaken USD, bullish GBP/USD Trade Negotiations Positive UK-US talks support GBP upside Market Sentiment Moderate risk appetite favors GBP Dollar Index Trend Dollar weakness supports GBP/USD rally Conclusion GBP/USD’s directional bias in April 2025 leans cautiously bullish, supported by strong technical support zones and potential Fed dovishness amid softer U.S. inflation. However, the pair remains sensitive to U.S. dollar strength, BoE-Fed policy divergence, and geopolitical developments. This balanced outlook aligns with recent analysis highlighting GBP/USD’s resilience and the importance of macroeconomic and technical factors in shaping trade bias

UK retail sales beat forecast, pound edges lowerThe British pound has edged lower on Friday. In the European session, GBP/USD is trading at 1.3214, down 0.17% on the day. UK retail sales were a ray of sunshine in March. Monthly, retail sales rose 0.4%, beating the market estimate of -0.4% but below the revised 0.7% increase in February. Clothing sales showed strong growth as shoppers took advantage of the sunny weather. Annualized, retail sales rose 2.6% from a revised 1.8% gain in February and above the market estimate of 1.8%. This was the strongest gain in three months. The strong retail sales was a pleasant surprise but the consumer economy remains fragile. The GfK consumer confidence index deteriorated in April to -23 from -19 and below the market estimate of -22. This was the lowest level since November 2023. Consumers are concerned over the rising cost of living and worsening global trade tensions which has been fuelled by President Trump's tariffs. The GfK survey found that consumers are anxious that inflation will continue to rise due to the US tariffs. The Bank of England is following trade tensions carefully as well. On Thursday, Governor Andrew Bailey said that the BoE was "quite focused on the growth shock" for the UK from the tariffs, although he said the UK was not close to a recession. If the global trade war intensifies, it will weigh on UK growth but will also push inflation lower. President Trump's tariff policy is expected to raise inflation and consumers are anxious that inflation will rise sharply. The UoM consumer inflation expectations index jumped to 6.7% in the initial April release, up from 5.0% in March. Today's final release is expected to confirm this figure, which would mark the highest level since Nov. 1981.
