GBP's Technimentals

Recommended Posts

Technical analysis of GBP is favoring bearish moves in future with chances of small bounce back from support zone of 1.5440 to 1.5390. Resistance zone is currently at 1.5875 to 1.5834.

 

GBP set a new 7-month low in past week after speech from BOE's governor. Unpexcted results of retail sales pulled GBP downwards on the last day of trading week. Expected percentage was 0.5% and the result, with the difference of 1.1%, was -0.6%. But this bad percentage was mainly due to bad weather situation in UK. At this time GBP's growth is under pressure due to unsupportive figures. At this time, BOE's attention is more towards growth and less towards targeting inflation.

The British pound will face continued pressure in the coming weeks as confidence erodes in the United Kingdom’s recovery efforts. U.K. economic growth will remain “sluggish” over the next few years compared with past recoveries in the 70s, 80s, and 90s.

GBP is currently trading at about 32-month low. At this time pressure is increasing especially after the credit rating of UK is downgraded from AAA. A weaker support level is waiting at 1.4905 and a further break would take it to 1.4850.

GBP showed nothing special today. GDP data from UK was as estimated before release. technical analysis show bullish movement in short term. Technically Longterm trend is unclear so far.

Another missile hit GBP today. Concerns over UK economic growth have increases after weak economic reports. PMI data declined to an unexpected level of 47.9 from 50.8.

 

So the result of above can clearly be seen in GBP/USD pair which went down to 2.5 years low. GBP was already under pressure due to changing in AAA rating last week.

44 pips growth so far in gbp/usd. If I remember correctly, I was expecting bearish trend. Even though UK construction data was weak and GBP faced sudden loss but found support and till now it is rising like a tortoise (cant be the winner though). This upside move is for very limited time and GBP will have to go down.

There is an overall weak sentiment about the pound and tomorrow is going to be a big day with the UK bank rate announcement. Nonetheless, there isn't going to be a change and the rate will stay at 0.50% and even the Asset Purchase Facility (APF) will stay the same at 375B.

 

Any changes will obviously affect the trajectory of the GBP and the FTSE 100.

Would you know when a "Statement" or "minute's"will be issued for the reasons there was no change, change, etc.

 

Sometimes the board sentiment can be a bigger mover than a No Change announcement.

GBP/USD went down by 74 pips so far and decline continues. Yesterday's bullish trend for very short time as expected. GBP has already broken the first support level of 1.5075 and now heading towards next support zone of 1.4980 to 1.4990.

Eyes will be on budget which is due to be presented this week. GBP has been continuously under pressure after change in credit rating. So any bad report from govt will aid the decline of GBP.

Technically, support is seen at 1.4975-1.4980.

GBP has gained some strength over past few days. Fundamentals r in favor of GBP and it looks like pressure is easing. After Fed decided to keep monetary policy loose, gbp gained more strength against usd.

 

Technically, trend is not clear. For long term traders, support zone is around 1.4650 to 1.4660 and resistance zone is around 1.5290 to 1.5300.

GBP/USD broke 1.5200 on thursday and then gained significant strength on the last trading day of this week. This could be a signal of strengthening GBP. Fundamentals played an important part to support gbp and take it out of consolidation. Retails Sales were much better than expected. Next week will also be dependent on economic reports and we can see significant rise incase of better fundamentals from UK.

UK government is considering to ease monetry policy and has set inflation target of 2%. Just 0.7% GDP growth is expected this year.

Gbp/Usd settled lower last week, as expected. Next week, it is likely to touch support level of 1.5100 and then further decline will take it to 1.5000. Cannot see any good upcoming fundamentals from UK. Technically it is bearish so next week will most probably be another bearish week for this pair.

Today gbp remained steady against its counterparts.

UK construction data improved a little but remained lower than expected which had a little affect on gbp/usd. But bad u.s data changed trend to short term bullish trend.

BOE decided not to expand its asset purchase program. BOE will keep rates at 0.5%. This news supported GBP to offset its previous losses and gbp/usd went to 6 week high.

Above news has developed a sentiment among investors that GBP economy has enough power to avoid recession.

Weekly performance of gbp remained mixed against usd. Pair remained bearish in first 3 days and then, due to usd's bad data, pair managed to offset weekly losses. Overall trend remained bearish and we can expect significant downward moves in the coming week. Weekly support zone is seen at 1.5020 to 1.5230.

This pair took full advantage of usd's weak performance in current week. Pair bounced back from weekly support zone and crossed 1.5400 level but since then it is trading bearish. Major resistance levels are not broken this week due to initial losses faced by this pair.

Short term trend is strongly bearish and technical indicators showing support at 1.5310 and then at 1.5240.

As most rivals of usd, gbp also lost more than 0.75% today to usd. This loss is mainly caused by weaker than expected uk jobs data. Another important factor was BOE minutes.

 

Hourly chart shows breach of major support. This breach has opened doors to more bearish moves. But I would wait to see a little more pips downwards. As shown in image, technically, support level is already breached and we can enter for a short gbp/usd.

GBP/usd is expected to show some decline in the start of week. As shown in the image, major support is expected near 1.5030 level. Strong downwardish moves by gbp/usd r indicating a dive towards this level.

It took 6 "5hrs" candles to reach a weekly high but just 2 candles to offset all the gain. then it took around 9 candles to go near week-high but again it took 2 canldes. Bearish moves r very strong and so is the impact of weak fundamental data from U.K.

Slightly upward trendy but sentiments r bearish due to strong technical support. Today's weak bullish trend was due to weak u.s data. I dun think fundamentals will have any high impact on this pair and it will, most probably, go down to the support level (image in previous post).

BBA approvals came as expected and stregthened gbp. CBI distributive trade survey came weaker than expected but had a little affect on gbp.

GBP remained slightly stronger vs usd today. But end of the day seems to offset the small gains and gbp/usd may enter into negative territory.

U.Ks better than expected estimated GDP strengthened it against rivals. Even U.S data for jobless claims had no affect on gbp/usd. This pair has gained 171 pips so far. It has been highest point since 19-feb.

 

GBP has already made significant gains in this week and tomorrow will most probably be slightly bearish for this pair.

GBP showed mixed moves today. It rose sharply against usd but weakened against eur.

 

gbp/usd found support at 1.5470 (expected was near 1.5415) and touched the highest point (1.5566) since 14th-feb. Tomorrow's release from Federal reserve will have high impact on usd so I am currently on hold for any usd-pair.

GBP took full advantage of weak usd and rose sharply. Fed policy ahead has limited these gains and investors r eagerly waiting for FOMC. Technically this pair has already crossed 1.5509 resistance level and is heading towards 1.5800.

 

GBP showed very insignificant change against eur today. At this time, change is around -0.06%.

      Hi GUYS, Happy Wednesday!
      I'd like to share daily forex analysis from Followme, hope this information helps your trading.
      Today, Let's focus on AUD and NZD.
      AUDUSD is trading at 0.6761; the instrument is moving below Ichimoku Cloud, thus indicating a descending tendency. The markets could indicate that the price may test the cloud’s downside border at 0.6765 and then resume moving downwards to reach 0.6635. Another signal to confirm further descending movement is the price’s rebounding from the descending channel’s upside border. However, the scenario that implies further decline may be canceled if the price breaks the cloud’s upside border and fixes above 0.6825. In this case, the pair may continue growing towards 0.6905.

      So I've been 18 for about 4 months, since I turned 18 I started up an account, and basically thought I was doing amazing because of beginners luck, put in some of my savings and managed to do well, some days I would make £200, one day I even made £900, after time I lost my profits and made a loss as well. I've realised I need to spend the time analysing the market and making technical judgments. I'm trying to read more and spend a lot of my time looking at the charts. is there any advice people can give me. and is making 5% a week a realistic goal to set myself? before anyone assumes that im looking for a get rich quick scheme, im certainly not, I see every loss ive made as a lesson and ensure that I learn from each mistake I make. 
      any advice about indicators, strategies, how to analyse the market, or even analysing earning reports would help me.

      Firebird is an indicator to identify the price spikes in the market. Firebird indicator first calculates a 10-period moving average, then shifts this moving average a certain percentage above and below the 10-period moving average. The shifted averages are drawn on chart as the red and green line. When price touches these lines, price spike is identified. Usually after a price spike, the trend reverses for some time. The indicator can be used to take advantage of this price behaviors. In daily chart usually the 10 period MA is shifted by 2 percent to form the price bands. On lower time frames like Hourly, Four Hour a smaller percentage price shift is used like 0.5% . The important consideration here is most of the price bars must be contained within the upper and lower bands.
      When price reaches above the upper red band, a sell position is opened. When price reaches the lower green band, buy position is opened. Trades can be managed with proper stop loss and take profit. In the picture, Firebird indicator is attached to daily chart of EUR/USD with 2% shift on MA. Note that almost all price bars are within the price bands. And when price extends beyond these bands, price trend reverses and comes back into the bands.

    • My wife Robin just wanted some groceries.   Simple enough.   She parked the car for fifteen minutes, and returned to find a huge scratch on the side.   Someone keyed her car.   To be clear, this isn’t just any car.   It’s a Cybertruck—Elon Musk's stainless-steel spaceship on wheels. She bought it back in 2021, before Musk became everyone's favorite villain or savior.   Someone saw it parked in a grocery lot and felt compelled to carve their hatred directly into the metal.   That's what happens when you stand out.   Nobody keys a beige minivan.   When you're polarizing, you're impossible to ignore. But the irony is: the more attention something has, the harder it is to find the truth about it.   What’s Elon Musk really thinking? What are his plans? What will happen with DOGE? Is he deserving of all of this adoration and hate? Hard to say.   Ideas work the same way.   Take tariffs, for example.   Tariffs have become the Cybertrucks of economic policy. People either love them or hate them. Even if they don’t understand what they are and how they work. (Most don’t.)   That’s why, in my latest podcast (link below), I wanted to explore the “in-between” truth about tariffs.   And like Cybertrucks, I guess my thoughts on tariffs are polarizing.   Greg Gutfield mentioned me on Fox News. Harvard professors hate me now. (I wonder if they also key Cybertrucks?)   But before I show you what I think about tariffs… I have to mention something.   We’re Headed to Austin, Texas This weekend, my team and I are headed to Austin. By now, you should probably know why.   Yes, SXSW is happening. But my team and I are doing something I think is even better.   We’re putting on a FREE event on “Tech’s Turning Point.”   AI, quantum, biotech, crypto, and more—it’s all on the table.   Just now, we posted a special webpage with the agenda.   Click here to check it out and add it to your calendar.   The Truth About Tariffs People love to panic about tariffs causing inflation.   They wave around the ghost of the Smoot-Hawley Tariff from the Great Depression like it’s Exhibit A proving tariffs equal economic collapse.   But let me pop this myth:   Tariffs don’t cause inflation. And no, I'm not crazy (despite what angry professors from Harvard or Stanford might tweet at me).   Here's the deal.   Inflation isn’t when just a couple of things become pricier. It’s when your entire shopping basket—eggs, shirts, Netflix subscriptions, bananas, everything—starts costing more because your money’s worth less.   Inflation means your dollars aren’t stretching as far as they used to.   Take the 1800s.   For nearly a century, 97% of America’s revenue came from tariffs. Income tax? Didn’t exist. And guess what inflation was? Basically zero. Maybe 1% a year.   The economy was booming, and tariffs funded nearly everything. So, why do people suddenly think tariffs cause inflation today?   Tariffs are taxes on imports, yes, but prices are set by supply and demand—not tariffs.   Let me give you a simple example.   Imagine fancy potato chips from Canada cost $10, and a 20% tariff pushes that to $12. Everyone panics—prices rose! Inflation!   Nope.   If I only have $100 to spend and the price of my favorite chips goes up, I either stop buying chips or I buy, say, fewer newspapers.   If everyone stops buying newspapers because they’re overspending on chips, newspapers lower their prices or go out of business.   Overall spending stays the same, and inflation doesn’t budge.   Three quick scenarios:   We buy pricier chips, but fewer other things: Inflation unchanged. Manufacturers shift to the U.S. to avoid tariffs: Inflation unchanged (and more jobs here). We stop buying fancy chips: Prices drop again. Inflation? Still unchanged. The only thing that actually causes inflation is printing money.   Between 2020 and 2022 alone, 40% of all money ever created in history appeared overnight.   That’s why inflation shot up afterward—not because of tariffs.   Back to tariffs today.   Still No Inflation Unlike the infamous Smoot-Hawley blanket tariff (imagine Oprah handing out tariffs: "You get a tariff, and you get a tariff!"), today's tariffs are strategic.   Trump slapped tariffs on chips from Taiwan because we shouldn’t rely on a single foreign supplier for vital tech components—especially if that supplier might get invaded.   Now Taiwan Semiconductor is investing $100 billion in American manufacturing.   Strategic win, no inflation.   Then there’s Canada and Mexico—our friendly neighbors with weirdly huge tariffs on things like milk and butter (299% tariff on butter—really, Canada?).   Trump’s not blanketing everything with tariffs; he’s pressuring trade partners to lower theirs.   If they do, everybody wins. If they don’t, well, then we have a strategic trade chess game—but still no inflation.   In short, tariffs are about strategy, security, and fairness—not inflation.   Yes, blanket tariffs from the Great Depression era were dumb. Obviously. Today's targeted tariffs? Smart.   Listen to the whole podcast to hear why I think this.   And by the way, if you see a Cybertruck, don’t key it. Robin doesn’t care about your politics; she just likes her weird truck.   Maybe read a good book, relax, and leave cars alone.   (And yes, nobody keys Volkswagens, even though they were basically created by Hitler. Strange world we live in.)

    • No, not if you are comparing apples to apples. What we call “poor” is obviously a pretty high bar but if you’re talking about like a total homeless shambling skexie in like San Fran then, no. The U.S.A. in not particularly kind to you. It is not an abuse so much as it is a sad relatively minor consequence of our optimism and industriousness.   What you consider rich changes with circumstances obviously. If you are genuinely poor in the U.S.A., you experience a quirky hodgepodge of unhelpful and/or abstract extreme lavishnesses while also being alienated from your social support network. It’s about the same as being a refugee. For a fraction of the ‘kindness’ available to you in non bio-available form, you could have simply stayed closer to your people and been MUCH better off.   It’s just a quirk of how we run the place and our values; we are more worried about interfering with people’s liberty and natural inclination to do for themselves than we are about no bums left behind. It is a slightly hurtful position and we know it; we are just scared to death of socialism cancer and we’re willing to put our money where our mouth is.   So, if you’re a bum; you got 5G, the ER will spend like $1,000,000 on you over a hangnail but then kick you out as soon as you’re “stabilized”, the logistics are surpremely efficient, you have total unchecked freedom of speech, real-estate, motels, and jobs are all natural healthy markets in perfect competition, you got compulsory three ‘R’’s, your military owns the sky, sea, space, night, information-space, and has the best hairdos, you can fill out paper and get all the stuff up to and including a Ph.D. Pretty much everything a very generous, eager, flawless go-getter with five minutes to spare would think you might need.   It’s worse. Our whole society is competitive and we do NOT value or make any kumbaya exception. The last kumbaya types we had werr the Shakers and they literally went extinct. Pueblo peoples are still around but they kind of don’t count since they were here before us. So basically, if you’re poor in the U.S.A., you are automatically a loser and a deadbeat too. You will be treated as such by anybody not specifically either paid to deal with you or shysters selling bejesus, Amway, and drugs. Plus, it ain’t safe out there. Not everybody uses muhfreedoms to lift their truck, people be thugging and bums are very vulnerable here. The history of a large mobile workforce means nobody has a village to go home to.
