Downtrend, stalled into late-session consolidation · RSI 48 · price 1.31968

Lower highs from 1.3249, session low at 1.3181, tight 1.3181–1.3201 range since 18:00 UTC.

London broke the Asian range low near 1.3245, and the slide extended through NY as firm US claims and hot ISM prices paid lifted USD. That printed a session low at 1.3181 beneath a chain of lower highs (1.3249, then the 1.3235 lower high). Since 18:00 UTC price has compressed between the session low and a 1.3201 range top, with RSI(14) neutral near 48 and ATR down to about 7 pips in thin post-NY trade.

Support: 1.3187, 1.3181

Resistance: 1.3201, 1.3209, 1.3235

What it said to watch

  • M15 close below the 1.3187 late low and the 1.3181 session low resumes the lower-low sequence
  • M15 close above the 1.3201 range top and the 1.3209 bounce high breaks the consolidation; the lower-highs line near 1.3235 sits above
  • US NFP Fri 12:30 UTC (f/c 90K) is the next catalyst and could materially shift this read
  • Further UK gilt stress (30y above 6%) is weighing on GBP independent of US data

23:31 UTC

Downtrend, compressing near lows · RSI 51 · price 1.31973

Lower highs from 1.3249; tight 1.3187–1.3201 box above day low.

Cable broke down from the Asian range during London. Firm US claims and ISM prices paid extended the slide in NY to a 1.3181 day low, beneath a lower-high trendline off the 1.3249 london high. Early Asia is compressing between the 1.3187 late low and the 1.3200 round number, with RSI(14) flat near 51 and ATR down to roughly 5–6 pips.

Support: 1.31873, 1.31807

Resistance: 1.32012, 1.32491

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above the 1.3201 round number opens the 38.2% fib near 1.3207 and the lower-high trendline
  • Break of the 1.3187 late low exposes the 1.3181 day low; a close below extends the lower-low chain
  • Sustained recovery toward the 1.3249 london high would invalidate the lower-high sequence
  • US NFP Fri 12:30 UTC (f/c 90K, AHE 0.3%) could materially shift this read

23:16 UTC

Downtrend, pausing above the day low · RSI 54 · price 1.31973

Lower highs from 1.3249; tight 1.3187–1.3201 band in early Asia.

London broke the prior Asian range low near 1.3245. NY extended the slide to a 1.3181 day low after firm US claims and hot ISM prices paid, and the lower-high chain at 1.3249, 1.3236 and 1.3209 keeps the descending trendline intact. Price is now compressing between the 1.3187 asia low and the 1.3201 psych level, sitting on the 23.6% fib of the 1.3249–1.3181 leg, with RSI(14) neutral near 54 and ATR down to roughly 6–7 pips.

Support: 1.3187, 1.3181

Resistance: 1.3201, 1.3209

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above 1.3201 psych exposes the 1.3209 lower high and 38.2% fib near 1.3207
  • Close above the descending trendline breaks the lower-high sequence
  • Loss of the 1.3187 asia low reopens the 1.3181 day low; acceptance below it extends the lower-low chain
  • US NFP Fri 12:30 UTC is the dominant catalyst and could materially shift this read

23:01 UTC

Downtrend, now pausing in late-session compression · RSI 51 · price 1.31955

Lower highs from 1.3249, tight 1.3181–1.3209 band with rising lows.

London open broke below the Asian range low at 1.3245. Firm US claims and hot ISM prices paid then extended the selloff from the 1.3249 pre-NY high to a 1.3181 session low during NY hours. Since then cable has compressed below the 1.3209 swing high, with the range top at 1.3201 capping, rising lows near 1.3187 and price holding near the 23.6% retrace. RSI(14) is neutral near 51 and ATR has shrunk to roughly 5–6 pips.

Support: 1.3187, 1.3181

Resistance: 1.3201, 1.3209, 1.3249

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above the 1.3201 range top and 1.3209 swing high opens the 38.2–50% retrace zone at 1.3207–1.3215
  • Break of the rising lows at 1.3187 and the 1.3181 session low resumes the lower-low sequence
  • US NFP Fri 12:30 UTC is the dominant catalyst; a print far from the 90K forecast could break this compression
  • Pre-NY high at 1.3249 marks the top of the selloff; reclaiming it would void the lower-high read

22:47 UTC

Downtrend, stalled after NY close · RSI 47 · price 1.31941

Lower highs from Asian high; 20-pip post-NY box above day low.

London broke the Asian range low near 1.3245, and NY extended the slide to a 1.3181 day low after firm US claims and a hot ISM prices-paid print lifted the dollar. Since the NY close, price has compressed between the day low and the 1.3201 range top, which sits at the 23.6% fib of the 1.3273–1.3181 drop. The rollover low at 1.3187 held, RSI(14) is flat near 47 and price sits just under EMA20.

Support: 1.3187, 1.3181

Resistance: 1.3201, 1.3209, 1.3216

What it said to watch

  • M15 close below the 1.3181 day low resumes the lower-low sequence
  • Close above the 1.3201 range top / 23.6% fib exposes the 1.3209 lower high, then the 38.2% fib at 1.3216
  • Loss of the 1.3187 rollover low puts the day low back in play during Asia session
  • US NFP Fri 12:30 UTC (f/c 90K, AHE 0.3%) is the next catalyst that could break the post-NY box

22:31 UTC

Downtrend, momentum stalled · RSI 47 · price 1.3193

Lower highs from 1.3249, compressing above 1.3181 session low.

London broke below the Asian range low at 1.3245. NY extended the slide after firm US claims and a jump in ISM prices paid, printing a 1.3181 session low near the three-month low. Since then price has compressed in a ~20-pip band under the 1.3200 round number, holding a 1.3187 late low in thin post-NY trade, with RSI(14) neutral near 47.

Support: 1.31873, 1.31807

Resistance: 1.3200, 1.32086, 1.32491

What it said to watch

  • M15 close below the 1.3181 session low confirms a fresh lower low beneath the three-month low
  • Close above the 1.3209 swing high (near the 38.2% fib) breaks the compression and opens the path to the 1.3249 rebound high
  • US NFP Fri 12:30 UTC could materially shift this read

Lower highs from London; post-NY compression in a tight 1.3187–1.3201 range.

Since late NY, price has compressed between the 1.3187 range low and the 1.3201 range top, capped at the 23.6% retracement of the London-NY drop. RSI(14) is flat near 52 and ATR is about 8 pips in thin post-NY trade.

Lower highs from London open, tight range above NY low.

Cable printed a lower-high chain from the 1.3266 London-open high to a 1.3181 NY low after firm US claims and ISM prices paid lifted the dollar. Late-NY trade has compressed into a 1.3181–1.3201 range below the lower-high line, with RSI(14) near 54 and ATR shrinking into the Asia session.

Support: 1.3187, 1.3181

  • Recovery through the 1.3236 NY am high would end the lower-high sequence
  • Failure at the 1.3187 late low, then the 1.3181 NY low (three-month low), resumes the downtrend
  • US NFP Fri 12:30 UTC could materially shift this read

21:31 UTC

Downtrend, stalling above the 3-month low · RSI 56 · price 1.31968

Tight post-NY range 1.3181–1.3209 under a falling-highs line.

London open broke the Asian range low near 1.3245 and sold off. Firm US claims and a hot ISM prices-paid read then pushed GBPUSD under the 1.3249 bounce high and on to a 1.3181 3-month low in NY. Since then price has compressed in a 1.3181–1.3209 range, with a higher low at 1.3187 and the 1.3201 round number capping into the Asia session.

Lower highs from London; tight late-NY base 1.3181–1.3201.

London open broke the Asian range low near 1.3245. The USD bid from firm claims and the hot ISM prices paid then carried GBP/USD to a 1.3181 3-month low in NY.

Lower highs from 1.3249; tight 1.3181–1.3201 range since 18:00 UTC.

NY extended the slide after firm US claims and a hot ISM prices-paid print, printing a session low at 1.3181 around 18:00 UTC, below a lower high at 1.3235. Since then price has compressed into a 1.3181–1.3201 range, building a higher low at 1.3186, with the range top and the 23.6% fib of the 1.3249–1.3181 drop capping it into the late NY session.

London open broke the Asian range low near 1.3245. A midday rebound to 1.3249 faded, and firm jobless claims plus hot ISM prices paid extended the slide to a 1.3181 session low during NY hours.

London broke the 1.3245 Asian range low at the open. NY extended the slide to a 1.3181 session low after firm jobless claims and hot ISM prices paid lifted the dollar.

Cable broke below the 1.3245–1.3272 Asian range at London open and has printed lower highs since, with the 1.3249 lower high capping the midday bounce.

Support: 1.3182

Resistance: 1.3208, 1.3249

What it said to watch

  • M15 close below the 1.3182 session low extends the lower-low sequence
  • M15 close above the 1.3208 lower high and the descending trendline breaks the LH chain; the 1.3249 swing high is the next reference above
  • Fed's Bowman (19:00 UTC) and Williams/Cook (19:30 UTC) could shift this read after London close
  • US NFP Fri 12:30 UTC is the larger risk to this structure

Lower highs and lower lows since London open; Asian range broken lower.

The Asian range (1.3245–1.3273) gave way at London open. NY extended the slide to a 1.3182 session low on firm US claims and a jump in ISM prices paid. Late in NY, after London close, the bounce was rejected at 1.3209, where the 38.2% fib meets the descending trendline, and price is back under the 1.3200 psych, sitting on the London low at 1.3193.

Lower highs from 1.3249 London high; triple test of 1.3182 low, late-NY rebound back above 1.3200.

NY session extended the London sell-off to a 1.3182 session low after firm claims and hot ISM prices paid lifted the dollar. The lows held on three tests, and the latest bar reclaimed the 1.3200 psych level and the 1.3206 neckline of a small double bottom. Price sits at the 38.2% fib of the London high-to-session-low drop, with the descending trendline and the 1.3216 lower high overhead.

  • Slip back below the 1.3206 neckline and 1.3200 psych returns focus to the 1.3182 session low
  • A break of the 1.3182 session low resumes the downtrend; the 1.3249 london high caps the broader intraday decline
  • Fed speakers Jefferson (17:30 UTC), Bowman (19:00) and Williams/Cook (19:30) could shift USD into the close

Lower highs and lower lows since London open; price on day low.

London open broke the Asian range low at 1.3245, and NY extended the slide after firm US claims and hot ISM prices paid. The descending lower-highs line from the 1.3235 ny high and the 1.3232 high has held twice since, at the 1.3206 lower high and at 17:00 UTC. Late-NY price is sitting on the 1.3182 day low below the 1.3193 london low, with RSI(14) near 29: stretched, not extreme.

London broke below the 1.3245–1.3273 Asian range and NY extended the slide to a 1.3182 session low, a three-month low, as firm claims and hot ISM prices paid lifted USD. The 16:15 UTC bounce stalled at the 1.3206 lower high, near the 38.2% of the 1.3249–1.3182 NY leg, and price is back retesting the low with RSI(14) near 31, not yet oversold.

Lower-high/lower-low chain below Asian range.

London broke the Asian range low at 1.32448 at the open, and the slide resumed in NY as firm claims and a jump in ISM prices paid lifted USD. That took price to a session low of 1.31822. Lower highs at 1.32324 and 1.32064 define a descending trendline, and price sits just under the london low at 1.31927 and the 1.3200 psych level, RSI(14) near 31.

  • Failure to hold the 1.31822 session low extends the lower-low sequence toward the 1.3180 round number

Downtrend, momentum easing off the low · RSI 35 · price 1.31999

Lower highs and lower lows since the London open; basing just under 1.3200.

The London open broke the Asian range low near 1.3245 and set a chain of lower highs from the 1.3249 swing high. NY then extended to a fresh session low at 1.3182 after firm jobless claims and the hot ISM prices-paid print lifted USD. Price is basing just under 1.3200 after London close, with the 1.3193 London low back overhead-tested, RSI(14) near 35 and ATR around 14 pips.

  • Losing the London low at 1.3193, then the 1.3182 session low, extends the lower-low sequence.
  • Fed's Jefferson (17:30 UTC), Bowman and Williams/Cook later this session, and NFP tomorrow at 12:30 UTC, could materially shift this read.

Asian range broken lower in London; NY extended below the London low to fresh session lows.

Cable broke below the Asian range (1.3245–1.3273) through London. NY then pushed through the 1.3193 london low to a 1.3182 session low as ISM prices paid and 24-year-high US yields lifted USD. The lower-high trendline from the 1.3249 swing high and the 1.3235 ny high defines the sequence; RSI(14) is near 29 and price trades below both EMAs.

Resistance: 1.31927, 1.32355, 1.32491

Cable broke below the Asian range low near 1.3245 at London open and has printed lower highs through NY, from 1.3249 to the 1.3235 ISM high, as the dollar extended on 24-year-high yields and the hot ISM prices paid print. The latest leg swept the london low at 1.3193 to a 1.3186 session low, then closed back near the 1.3200 psych level. RSI(14) is near 31, soft but not stretched.

Downtrend, lower highs intact · RSI 34 · price 1.3204

Lower highs below 1.3249, retesting session low.

London open broke the Asian range low at 1.3245, and the London leg ran to a session low at 1.3193 as USD tracked 24-year-high yields, $100 Brent and firm jobless claims. The rebound high at 1.3249 failed and a lower high followed at 1.3236. NY hours are now retesting the session low, with a 1.3198 retest low so far, RSI(14) near 34 and price below both EMAs.

Support: 1.3198, 1.3193

Resistance: 1.3236, 1.3249

  • M15 close above the 1.3236 lower high breaks the descending-highs chain

Lower highs since 11:45 UTC rebound, retest of 1.3193 low.

London open broke below the 1.3245–1.3273 Asian range and printed a 1.3193 three-month low as 24-year-high US yields and $100 Brent lifted USD. The rebound stalled at the 1.3249 swing high, around 77% of the London drop. NY has since carved lower highs at 1.3236 and 1.3232, and price is back at the 1.3198 ny low, with hawkish ISM prices paid keeping the dollar bid.

Support: 1.31981, 1.31927

Resistance: 1.3222, 1.32355, 1.32491

What it said to watch

  • M15 close below the 1.3193 3m low confirms a lower low and extends the downtrend
  • A second hold at the 1.3198 ny low would form a double-bottom attempt against the 1.3193 low
  • Recapture of ema20 near 1.3222 would be the first stall in the lower-highs sequence
  • Close above the 1.3236 lower high breaks the lower-highs trendline; the 1.3249 swing high caps above

London broke the Asian range low near 1.3245 and ran from 1.3266 to the 1.3193 3m low, driven by firm US yields and a soft UK PMI. The rebound stalled at the 1.3249 rebound high, about a 76.8% retrace of the London leg.

A higher low at 1.3211 fed a bounce to the 1.3249 rebound high, which was rejected at the old range floor and the lower highs line.

London broke the 1.3245–1.3273 Asian range lower from the 1.3266 London high and printed a 1.3193 3-month low as 24-year-high US yields and Brent above $100 lifted USD. The late-London bounce stalled at a 1.3249 retest high, right at the broken Asian low, and price sits near the 50% fib of the London sell-off into NY open.

Downtrend, intraday rebound stalling · RSI 56 · price 1.32332

London selloff to 1.3193 low, higher low at 1.3211, rebound capped at 1.3249.

A 73-pip London slide from the london high at 1.3266 hit a 3m low at 1.3193 as surging US long-end yields and $100 Brent lifted USD. The rebound off a higher low at 1.3211 stalled at the 1.3249 rebound high, near the 76.4% of the london drop fib, and the 12:00 UTC bar printed a rejection around Mann's remarks into the London-NY transition.

Asian range broken lower in London; higher-low recovery now retesting the Asian low from below.

London faded off the 1.3266 London high, broke the Asian range lower and printed a 3m low at 1.3193 as rising US yields and $100 Brent kept USD bid. The rebound has since built a higher low at 1.3211 and retraced past the 61.8% fib. The latest bar was rejected at the Asian low (1.3245–1.3249), with price sitting just above the EMA50 and the EMA20 near 1.3229, and RSI(14) at 56.

Resistance: 1.3245, 1.3266, 1.3272

What it said to watch

London sold off from the 1.3266 London high through the Asian low on surging US yields and $100 Brent, bottoming at the 1.3193 session low. The bounce has since put in a higher low at 1.3211 and cleared the 1.3229 prior high. Price is now testing the 61.8% fib of that drop near 1.3238, with EMA20 reclaimed and EMA50 overhead.

Lower highs since London open; holding 1.3193–1.3229 above round number.

London opened with a break below the 1.3245–1.3272 Asian range, and the soft UK manufacturing PMI extended the slide to a 1.3193 session low before buyers stepped in just under the 1.3200 round number. The rebound stalled at the 1.3229 bounce high, the 50% fib of the London drop, so the lower-highs sequence remains intact.

London broke the 1.3245 Asian low after the soft UK manufacturing PMI and extended to a 1.3193 session low, but the move below the 1.3200 psych level was quickly reclaimed.

Lower highs from London open; false break below 1.3200 reclaimed, bounce testing lower high.

London open broke the Asian low at 1.3245 from the 1.3266 london high, and the soft UK PMI at 08:30 UTC extended the slide through the 1.3200 ytd low to a 1.3193 session low. Price has since reclaimed 1.3200 and printed a higher low at 1.3214. The bounce is now pressing the 1.3228 lower high and the 38.2–50% fib, with RSI(14) neutral near 47 and price just under EMA20.

Support: 1.3214, 1.3200, 1.3193

Resistance: 1.3228, 1.3245, 1.3266

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above the 1.3228 lower high and the 50% fib near 1.3230 opens a retest of the 1.3245 asian low
  • Loss of the 1.3214 higher low and a close back below the 1.3200 ytd low would void the false-break read and put the 1.3193 session low back in play

Lower highs since London open; 1.3200 swept and reclaimed.

London opened off a 1.3266 london high and broke the Asian low at 1.3245. Soft UK PMI and house-price data extended the lower-high sequence to a 1.3193 session low, a sweep under the 1.3200 round number, which the digest flags as the YTD-low area. Price has since reclaimed 1.3200 and is stalling near the 38.2% retracement of the London drop at 1.3221, just under the 1.3225 bounce high; RSI(14) is near 39, below EMA20 and EMA50.

Resistance: 1.3200, 1.32277, 1.32448

What it said to watch

Downtrend, oversold-leaning bounce stalling · RSI 34 · price 1.3217

Lower highs and lower lows since London open, Asian range broken lower.

London open saw rejection at the 1.3266 London high, then a break of the 1.3245 Asian low. The London drop ran ~58 pips to a 1.3209 session low as USD demand on firm yields met a slight UK PMI miss. The bounce stalled at the 1.3228 bounce high, short of the 38.2% retrace, with descending highs intact and RSI(14) near 34.

Resistance: 1.3225, 1.32448, 1.32662

What it said to watch

  • Failure to hold the 1.3200 YTD low extends the London downtrend into fresh lows

GBPUSD has unwound most of yesterday's post-PCE spike to 1.3311. Asia printed lower highs from the 1.3273 asia high as USD demand resumed on yields and oil. A late-Asia dip under the 1.3250 shelf to the 1.3245 asia low was reclaimed at 06:00 UTC, which lifts price to the 38.2% retrace near 1.3255 ahead of London open, with RSI(14) neutral at 49.

Downtrend, slow grind at session lows · RSI 39 · price 1.32484

Asia lower highs and lower lows, pressing the 1.3245 session low.

Yesterday's post-PCE spike to 1.3311 has been fully unwound. Asia has stepped lower under a descending trendline from the 1.3272 Asian high, through a 1.3260 lower high, and the 1.3245 session low has been tested twice ahead of London open as USD demand resumes. RSI(14) near 39 and ATR around 4.5 pips point to an orderly drift rather than a flush.

Resistance: 1.32602, 1.32725

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above the 1.3260 lower high and the descending trendline breaks the Asia lower-high sequence

  • Reclaim of the 1.3272 Asian high would neutralise the overnight decline

Post-PCE spike fully faded, NY range broken lower, LH/LL chain in late Asia.

GBPUSD has given back the whole post-PCE spike to 1.3311. Late Asia broke the ny low at 1.3255 as USD demand resumed on oil and yields, and price is now sitting on the day low near 1.3244. A lower high at 1.3260 below the asia high at 1.3273 defines the Asian downtrend line. RSI(14) is near 39, not stretched, and ATR is about 4 pips.

Resistance: 1.32555, 1.32602, 1.32725

What it said to watch

  • Reclaim of the 1.3255 ny low and the Asian downtrend line through the 1.3260 lower high invalidates the down-leg read
  • Asia high at 1.3273 lines up with the 38.2% retrace of the PCE spike fade
  • BoE Mann at 12:00 UTC and US jobless claims at 12:30 UTC; ISM Manufacturing plus Waller at 14:00 UTC could materially shift this read

Lower highs and lower lows through Asia; 1.3250 base broken.

The fade from the 1.3311 post-PCE spike has resumed in the Asia session. The 1.3250 round number held three times, then gave way to a 1.3246 session low, with the 1.3273 Asian high and 1.3260 lower high forming a descending sequence as USD stays bid on elevated yields. RSI(14) is near 30 and ATR is around 4 pips ahead of London open.

  • Recovery and M15 close back above the 1.3250 round number would turn the range break into a false break
  • M15 close above the 1.3260 lower high breaks the lower-highs trendline from the Asian high
  • Failure to hold the 1.3246 session low exposes the 1.3233 swing low, with the 1.3200 2-month low beyond

Intraday downtrend, pressing session low · RSI 29 · price 1.32458

Lower highs and lower lows through Asia, below prior NY range.

Late Asia session: price slipped beneath the 1.3255 prior NY low and has carved lower highs off the 1.3272 Asian high. It now sits at the 1.3246 session low with RSI(14) near 29 as USD demand resumes on firm US yields. Yesterday's post-PCE spike to 1.3311 is fully unwound, and price is back near the pre-GDP base at 1.3233.

Lower highs from 1.3311 spike, Asian range broken lower.

The post-PCE fade from the 1.3311 spike high has continued. The 1.3273 Asian high capped a lower high, and late Asia broke the 1.3255 NY low as USD demand resumed on elevated yields. Price is pinned at the 1.3250 round number after four tests since the break, with RSI(14) near 31 and ATR around 4 pips ahead of London open.

Resistance: 1.32554, 1.32725, 1.3300

What it said to watch

  • A close below the 1.3250 round number exposes the 1.3228 swing low from before yesterday's London open.
  • A reclaim of the 1.3255 NY low back into the Asian range neutralises the break. The 1.3273 Asian high sits on the lower highs line.
  • Only a recovery through 1.3300 psych, near the 61.8% of the post-PCE fade, undoes the sequence.
  • BoE's Mann at 12:00 UTC and US jobless claims at 12:30 UTC could shift this read. ISM at 14:00 UTC lands later in the NY session.

Lower highs off 1.3311 rejection; post-NY range floor broken, holding 1.3250.

The post-GDP/PCE spike to 1.3311 met rejection, and NY unwound the move into a 1.3255–1.3269 range. Asia broke the range floor from the 1.3273 Asian high under firm USD and yields. The Asian low at 1.3250 has held twice, with a lower high at 1.3260 and RSI(14) near 32.

Support: 1.3250, 1.3227

Resistance: 1.3256, 1.3260, 1.3273

What it said to watch

  • M15 close back above the 1.3256 range floor and 1.3260 lower high invalidates the Asian break-down read
  • Acceptance below the 1.3250 asian low exposes the 1.3227 pre-gdp low from yesterday's open
  • London open in ~2h typically resets the Asian range; reclaiming the 1.3273 asian high would neutralise the lower-high sequence
  • US jobless claims 12:30 UTC, ISM Manufacturing 14:00 UTC and BoE Mann 12:00 UTC are the next catalysts for this read

Downtrend, lower highs through Asia · RSI 31 · price 1.32502

Overnight range broken lower, testing session low.

GBPUSD has fully unwound the soft-PCE spike to 1.3311. Late in the Asia session it broke the 1.3255–1.3270 overnight range and tapped a 1.3250 session low twice as USD demand resumed on elevated yields. The 1.3272 Asian high and the 1.3260 lower high cap the bounce, and RSI(14) near 31 is soft but not oversold.

Asia broke below the overnight 1.3255 floor; price is now retesting it from below.

The UK GDP and soft-PCE rally from the 1.3223 prior low to 1.3311 has unwound past its 61.8% fib. USD buying in Asia pushed price through the 1.3255 NY low to a 1.3250 Asian low, capped by a falling line of lower highs from the 1.3272 Asian high. RSI(14) is near 36 and ATR is a tight 4.4 pips, with London open still ahead.

Lower highs since 1.3311; Asia swept 1.3255 NY low, reclaimed.

The failed hold of 1.3300 psych after the PCE spike to 1.3311 left a descending highs sequence, and late Asia session pushed through the 1.3255 NY low to an Asian low at 1.3250 as USD demand resumed. Price has reclaimed 1.3258 but sits below EMA20/50 with RSI(14) near 40. The Asian high at 1.3272, which lines up with the 38.2% fib, caps the bounce.

What it said to watch

  • A close back above the 1.3272 asian high and 38.2% fib breaks the descending highs line

Asia session rejected the 1.3272 Asia high and broke the 1.3255 overnight range floor, printing the 1.3250 round number as USD buying resumed. Wednesday's UK GDP/PCE rally failed at the 1.3300 psych level and is now retraced beyond 61.8%, with lower highs intact and RSI(14) near 36.

Asia session topped at the 1.3273 asian high, then broke the overnight 1.3259–1.3273 range and yesterday's ny low at 1.3256. That extends the lower-high sequence from the 1.3311 post-PCE rejection, with USD firm on elevated yields. Price is pressing the 1.3250 round number, RSI(14) near 33 and not yet oversold.

Lower highs from 1.3311; late-Asia break below the NY low.

GBP/USD has printed lower highs since the 1.3311 pce spike after the soft US PCE print. A push to the 1.3273 asia high faded under the downtrend line, and late in the Asia session price slipped through the 1.3255 ny low to a 1.3252 session low, below EMA20/50, with RSI(14) near 35 and ATR(14) about 4.5 pips ahead of London.

The soft-PCE spike to 1.3311 was rejected above the 1.3300 round number. The 58-pip PCE leg has since retraced fully to the Asian session low at 1.3253, as resumed USD demand on firm yields shows up in price. A late-Asia drop from the 1.3272 Asian high set another lower high on the trendline and is now pressing through the overnight 1.3255 floor, with RSI(14) at 36 and ATR near 4.6 pips.

It retraced to the range low at 1.3255, which aligns with the 61.8% fib, and has spent the NY close and early Asia session in a tight band. Early Asia is now testing the band's top at the 50% fib near 1.3267–1.3272, with RSI(14) near 65. The 38.2% fib at 1.3277 is the next level overhead.

  • Close below the 1.3261 asia low, then the 1.3255 ny low, extends the post-PCE selloff
  • 1.3300 round number and 1.3311 pce high remain the cap after the false break
  • BoE's Mann at 12:00 UTC, US claims at 12:30 UTC and ISM/Waller at 14:00 UTC could materially shift this read

Flat after post-PCE selloff, pressing range top · RSI 60 · price 1.32692

15-pip range 1.3255–1.3270 since NY afternoon, double low at base.

The soft-PCE spike through 1.3300 to 1.3311 reversed during NY hours as USD recovered on the growth beats. Price slid to a double low at 1.3256, the 61.8% of the rally fib. Early Asia is pressing the range top at 1.3270, with RSI(14) near 60 and ATR around 3.6 pips.

Support: 1.3261, 1.3256

Resistance: 1.3270, 1.3279, 1.3300

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above 1.3270 range top opens the 1.3279 lower high, then 1.3300 psych
  • Loss of the 1.3261 asia low puts the 1.3256 double low back in play; a break below it voids the range read and the rally fib 61.8%
  • BoE's Mann at 12:00 UTC, US claims at 12:30 UTC and ISM at 14:00 UTC could break the range later today

Post-PCE pullback, now flat · RSI 51 · price 1.32649

Tight 1.3255–1.3269 range after reversal from 1.3311.

The soft US PCE print at 12:30 UTC briefly pushed GBPUSD through the 1.3300 round number to a 1.3311 pce high before strong US growth data reversed it. The pair has since held a 14-pip range for about 8 hours between the 1.3255 range floor, which sits near the fib 61.8% retracement of the 1.3223–1.3311 move, and the 1.3269 range top near the fib 50%. Early Asia session is inside that range with a 1.3261 asia low.

Support: 1.32606, 1.32554

Resistance: 1.32691, 1.3300, 1.33109

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above 1.3269 range top opens 1.3300 round number and the 1.3311 pce high
  • Failure to hold the 1.3255 range floor at fib 61.8% exposes the 1.3223 Asian low from the prior session
  • Mann at 12:00 UTC, then Claims at 12:30 UTC and ISM with Waller at 14:00 UTC, could break the range

Sideways after post-PCE reversal · RSI 50 · price 1.32631

Tight range 1.3255–1.3269 below failed 1.3300 break.

The soft US PCE print briefly lifted GBP/USD through the 1.3300 psych level to a 1.3311 PCE high before a rejection. The fade held twice at the 1.3255 range low, near the 61.8% fib of the London rally. Price has been compressed below the 1.3269 range top from NY close into the Asia session, with ATR near 3 pips.

Support: 1.32554, 1.32343

Resistance: 1.32691, 1.3300, 1.33109

  • M15 close below the 1.3255 range low breaks the 61.8% fib hold and exposes yesterday's 1.3234 asian high
  • Close above the 1.3269 range top reopens the 1.3300 psych level and the 1.3311 PCE high
  • BoE's Mann at 12:00 UTC and US jobless claims at 12:30 UTC could break the Asia-session compression

Post-PCE pullback, now flat · RSI 45 · price 1.32623

Tight range 1.3255–1.3269 below the 1.3311 PCE spike high.

The UK GDP beat at the London open and the soft PCE print drove a rally from 1.3223 to the 1.3311 PCE high. Price was rejected back under the 1.3300 psych level, and NY gave back half the move. Price now sits between the 50% (1.3267) and 61.8% (1.3256) fib, with demand twice holding the 1.3255 swing low and the range top at 1.3269 capping since rollover.

Support: 1.32554, 1.32343

Resistance: 1.32691, 1.3300, 1.33109

What it said to watch

  • M15 close below the 1.3255 swing low breaks the 61.8% fib and exposes the 1.3234 asian high
  • Acceptance above the 1.3269 range top reopens 1.3300 psych and the 1.3311 pce high
  • BoE's Mann at 12:00 UTC, then US claims at 12:30 and ISM at 14:00 UTC, could break the range
  • ATR near 3.6 pips reflects thin Asia-session conditions, and range expansion is likely into London
