Downtrend paused, rebound stalling · RSI 60 · price 1.32178

False break of 1.3200 floor, compressing on rising lows below NY high.

The yield-driven USD bid took GBPUSD through the 1.3200 range floor to a 1.3193 day low in the London-NY transition. The break failed, and price has since compressed between 1.3205 and 1.3224 on rising lows. The ny high is capping near the 38.2% retrace of the day decline, and the early Asia session is drifting at 1.3218 with RSI(14) near 60.

Support: 1.3209, 1.3200, 1.3193

Resistance: 1.3224, 1.3231

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above the 1.3224 ny high opens the 50% retrace of the day decline at 1.3231
  • Break of the rollover low at 1.3209 breaks the rising lows line and puts the 1.3200 range floor back in play
  • Acceptance below the 1.3193 day low turns the false break into a fresh lower-low
  • Fed's Waller (08:30 UTC) and BoE's Greene (09:15 UTC) at London open could materially shift this read

Downtrend paused, basing above day low · RSI 58 · price 1.32158

Higher lows off 1.3194, capped below 1.3224.

London sold through yesterday's Asian range from 1.3268 to a 1.3194 day low as US yields spiked after the 5.30% 10y auction. The 1.3200 floor held on three tests, and price has since printed higher lows inside 1.3205–1.3224, with rejection at the NY high near the 38.2% retrace. Thin early Asia is drifting at 1.3216, just under the 1.3218 asia high.

Support: 1.3209, 1.3205, 1.3194

Resistance: 1.3218, 1.3224, 1.3242

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above the 1.3224 ny high clears the 38.2% retrace and puts yesterday's 1.3242 asian low overhead
  • Break of the 1.3209 rollover low and the higher-lows trendline brings the 1.3205 ny swing low back in play
  • Loss of the 1.3194 day low breaks the 1.3200 floor; 1.3180 is the next reference
  • Waller (08:30 UTC), BoE's Greene (09:15 UTC), US jobless claims (12:30 UTC) and Lombardelli (13:00 UTC) could materially shift this read

23:16 UTC

Downtrend stalled, basing above 1.3200 · RSI 57 · price 1.32164

Failed break of 1.3200, NY rebound capped, Asia compressing on rising lows.

London extended the slide from 1.3270 to a 1.3193 day low as US yields surged, but the break of the 1.3200 range floor failed and NY recovered to the 1.3224 NY high, just under the 38.2% fib. Early Asia session is holding rising lows above the 1.3209 rollover low, with price compressed between 1.3209 and 1.3224 and ATR(14) near 3 pips.

Support: 1.3209, 1.3200, 1.3193

Resistance: 1.3224, 1.3254

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above the 1.3224 NY high and 38.2% fib opens the path to the 1.3254 prior pivot
  • Loss of the 1.3209 rollover low and the rising lows line returns focus to the 1.3200 range floor
  • A break of the 1.3193 day low invalidates the false break read
  • Fed's Waller at 08:30 UTC and BoE's Greene at 09:15 UTC are the next catalysts that could shift this read

23:01 UTC

Intraday downtrend paused, rebounding off session low · RSI 57 · price 1.32161

Failed break of 1.3200, higher lows since NY, tight Asia consolidation.

London broke below the asian low at 1.3242 and NY extended the move to a 1.3193 session low as US yields surged on the 10y auction. That briefly broke the 1.3200 floor, but the break failed with a double bottom at 1.3193–1.3194. Price has since printed higher lows along the rebound trendline, with the fib 61.8 at 1.3205 and the 1.3209 rollover low holding. Early Asia session is compressing at 1.3216 just under the 1.3224 ny high, with ATR near 3 pips.

Support: 1.3209, 1.3205, 1.3193

Resistance: 1.3224, 1.3230, 1.3242

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above the 1.3224 ny high opens the 1.3230 london low, then the 1.3242 asian low
  • Loss of the 1.3209 rollover low and rebound trendline exposes the fib 61.8 at 1.3205
  • Return below the 1.3193 session low turns the false break into a confirmed range break toward 1.3180
  • Fed's Waller (08:30 UTC) and BoE's Greene (09:15 UTC) around London open could materially shift this read

22:47 UTC

Intraday downtrend stalled, sideways above 1.3200 · RSI 54 · price 1.32163

False break of 1.3200 floor, lower highs into tight late range.

The yield-driven USD bid pushed GBP/USD from 1.3272 through the Asian low at 1.3242 during London. Price briefly broke the 1.3200 range floor to a 1.3193 day low in NY hours, where demand stepped in three times, but the rebound stalled at the 1.3224 NY high, the 38.2% retrace of the day drop. Since then price has compressed between the 1.3209 late low and a 1.3221 lower high into early Asia, with ATR down to ~4 pips.

Support: 1.3209, 1.3200, 1.3193

Resistance: 1.3221, 1.3224, 1.3242

What it said to watch

Recovering within a range after London selloff · RSI 56 · price 1.32176

Higher lows off 1.3193 triple low; capped at 1.3224 range top.

The London session sold off from the 1.3254 London high to a 1.3193 triple low as US yields hit 24-year highs. NY rebuilt a 1.3205–1.3224 range that held through the FOMC Minutes. Early Asia is lifting off the 1.3209 NY close low toward the range top, sitting near the 38.2% level of the London leg fib with RSI(14) at 56.

  • Fed's Waller (08:30 UTC) and BoE's Greene (09:15 UTC) on Thursday could reset the range

Lower highs from 1.3274 into a 1.3193 low, now a 1.3205–1.3224 range.

London extended the Asian slide through the 1.3242 Asian low to a 1.3193 day low as US yields printed 24-year highs. The dip under 1.3200 was reclaimed in NY and price has since held a 1.3205–1.3224 range, with the NY high capping at the 38.2% retrace. The new Asia session is opening quietly just above the 1.3209 late low, RSI(14) flat near 51.

London broke below the Asian low at 1.3242, and selling ran through the 1.3230 london break level to a 1.3193 session low as 24-year-high US yields lifted the dollar. NY formed a double bottom there and rebounded to 1.3224, the 38.2% fib of the day's drop. Since the FOMC minutes, lower highs have capped the range top at 1.3222 over a 1.3209 range low into the quiet post-NY hours. RSI(14) sits near 42 and ATR is under 4 pips.

Post-decline range 1.3205–1.3222 above a 1.3193 day low.

London broke below the Asian low at 1.3242 and extended to a 1.3193 day low by midday as US yields climbed, where a double bottom held. Since then price has ranged between the 1.3205 NY swing low and the 1.3222 range top, which sits on the 38.2% fib of the daily decline. The FOMC minutes drew only a brief dip as yields faded, and price is drifting near 1.3210 in thin early Asia trade.

Asia sold from 1.3275 to an Asian low at 1.3242. The London open broke below it and the slide ran to a 1.3193 day low, which held on three tests during London and early NY. Since then GBPUSD has held a 1.3205–1.3224 range just under the 38.2% retrace, and the FOMC minutes spike was rejected at the 1.3221 fomc high; price is drifting toward the range low in thin post-NY trade, below both EMAs, RSI(14) ~41.

Post-NY range 1.3205–1.3222, slight lower highs.

London broke the asian low at 1.3242 and the slide ran to a 1.3193 session low, briefly below 1.3200 as record US yields lifted the dollar. The NY rebound stalled at the 1.3222 range high, near the fib 38.2% of the drop. Hawkish FOMC minutes produced no break, and price is drifting in the lower half of the 1.3205–1.3222 range into the Asia session with RSI(14) near 41.

Double bottom at 1.3193 lifted price into a 1.3208–1.3222 range.

London broke the Asian low at 1.3242 and sold to a 1.3193 day low as US yields hit 24-year highs. A double bottom there lifted price to 1.3224, just under the 38.2% fib of the London drop. The FOMC minutes drew little follow-through, and price has held a tight 1.3208–1.3222 range into the late NY session, sitting mid-range with RSI(14) near 52.

Double bottom at 1.3193, capped in a 1.3205–1.3222 range.

London broke the Asian low at 1.3242 as US yields at 24-year highs lifted the dollar, extending to a 1.3193 session low that held twice into NY hours as a double bottom. The rebound stalled at the 1.3222 range top, near the 38.2% retrace of the drop, and the FOMC minutes left price drifting toward the 1.3205 range low into the NY close.

Lower highs vs higher lows inside 1.3205–1.3222 since the 15:00 UTC rebound high.

London broke the 1.3242 Asian low as US yields hit 24-year highs. The selloff found a double bottom at 1.3193, and the rebound stalled at the 1.3222 50% retrace. Since then price has coiled between the 1.3205 range low and 1.3222 in late NY, the FOMC minutes spike to 1.3221 faded, and RSI(14) sits neutral near 49.

London sell-off to 1.3193 double bottom, NY rebound capped at 1.3224, now compressing 1.3205–1.3222.

London broke below the 1.3245 Asian low and slid to a 1.3193 session low as US yields hit 24-year highs. That low held twice early in NY for a double bottom and a rebound to 1.3224. After the FOMC minutes, highs stalled near the 1.3222 range top on a lower-highs trendline. Late NY price sits at 1.3211 near the 50% fib, with RSI(14) flat at 48 and ATR around 5–6 pips.

What it said to watch

  • M15 close below the 1.3205 swing low (61.8% fib) exposes the 1.3193 session low; a break there voids the double bottom and brings the 1.3180 range floor into play
  • Close above the 1.3222 range top clears the lower-highs trendline and opens the 1.3245 Asian low
  • Post-minutes yield reversal: if US yields keep slipping through the Asia session, the 1.3222 range top is the first test

Cable lost the 1.3242 Asian low at London open and slid to 1.3193 in the first hour of NY as US yields hit 24-year highs. The 1.3193 NY low held three times and the bounce stalled at the 50% retracement of the London selloff near 1.3224.

London broke below the asian low at 1.3242 on yield-driven USD demand and extended to a 1.3193 day low, which held twice during the NY open. Since then price has held a 1.3205–1.3224 range capped at the 50% fib of the London drop.

London broke below the 1.3242 Asian low as the yields-driven USD bid lifted the dollar, and the slide stopped at a 1.3193 session low that held three tests into the NY session. The bounce stalled at the 1.3224 bounce high near the 50% fib. Since the FOMC minutes at 18:00 GMT, price has traded a narrow 1.3213–1.3221 band on rising lows.

GBPUSD slid from 1.3279 through Asia and London into a 1.3193 session low early in NY as US yields hit 24-year highs. Three tests of 1.3193–1.3195 held, and price has since compressed between higher lows from 1.3205 and a flat ny cap at 1.3221–1.3224. The FOMC minutes at 18:00 UTC drew only a brief poke into that cap, and price now sits on ema20, the rising trendline and the 23.6% fib near 1.3214.

Yield-driven USD strength pushed GBPUSD through the asian low in early London and down to a 1.3193 day low, where a double bottom formed into NY. Since then price has consolidated between 1.3205 and 1.3224 on a rising trendline of higher lows. The FOMC minutes reaction stalled at 1.3221, under the session high and the 38.2% retrace of the day decline.

London broke below the Asian low near 1.3245. US yields at 24-year highs then pushed GBP/USD to a 1.3193 double bottom around the NY open. Late NY has built rising lows between the 1.3205 ny low and the 1.3224 ny high, where the 50% retrace of the London leg capped the bounce. The FOMC minutes bar drew under 9 pips of range, and price sits just above ema20 and just under ema50.

London broke the asian low at 1.3242 and slid 61 pips to a 1.3193 day low as US yields at 24-year highs lifted the dollar. A double bottom at 1.3193/1.3194 held, and the NY rebound stalled at the 1.3224 ny high, the 50% retrace of the London selloff fib.

RSI(14) near 26 is stretched but not extreme, and the descending trendline off the 1.3245 lower high is still capping bounces.

Since then the London session has stepped lower along a falling trendline of lower highs, the latest at 1.3214, and is now pressing the 1.3200 round number with RSI(14) near 26.

London broke below the 1.3242 Asian low and then built a lower-high chain from the 1.3245 swing high down to a 1.3203 day low.

Resistance: 1.3229, 1.3242, 1.3254

London broke the Asian low at 1.3242 on the open. Bounces have been capped by the descending trendline from the rebound high at 1.3245, and the lower high at 1.3229 was followed by a fresh session low at 1.3212, with a firm USD into the FOMC Minutes as the backdrop. RSI(14) near 27 is stretched but not extreme; 1.3200 round number and the 1.3180 range floor sit below.

London opened at its 1.3254 london high, then broke the 1.3242 asian low and has stepped lower since. The bounce stalled at 1.3245, and the latest lower high at 1.3232 leaves price pressing the 1.3220 session low, with RSI(14) near 27, stretched but not extreme. A firm USD and US 10y yields above 5.30% into the FOMC Minutes are driving the move.

Asian range broken lower, LH/LL chain since London open.

London broke the asian low at 1.3242 in its first hour on renewed USD demand from firm yields and oil, then printed lower highs at the 1.3245 bounce high and 1.3232 lower high into a 1.3222 session low. RSI(14) is near 26, oversold but not extreme, with the 1.3246 38.2% fib of the Tuesday high-to-London low drop sitting on the broken asian low.

Support: 1.3222, 1.3200

Resistance: 1.3232, 1.3242, 1.3245

What it said to watch

  • M15 close back above the 1.3242 asian low and 1.3245 bounce high would negate the range break and the lower highs chain
  • Failure to hold the 1.3222 session low exposes the 1.3200 round number, the range floor in the digest

London broke the Asian low at 1.3242 and has printed lower highs under a descending trendline from the 1.3254 London high. The session low is 1.3223, with RSI(14) near 29.

  • Descending trendline near 1.3248 and the 38.2% fib at 1.3251 cap the decline structure; a close above both breaks the lower-high chain

Asian range broken lower at London open; bounce off London low now retesting the Asian low from below.

GBPUSD has carved lower highs since yesterday's NY high at 1.3286. London open broke the 1.3242–1.3268 Asian range as USD firmed on rebounding yields and oil, and the bounce from the 1.3230 London low is now stalling at the Asian low from below, under the lower highs trendline.

Resistance: 1.3242, 1.3254, 1.3268

Asia ground lower from 1.3275 as USD firmed into the FOMC minutes. London opened with a break of the asian low at 1.3242 to a london low at 1.3230. The rebound is capped near the 23.6% fib of the drop from the 1.3286 prior high, leaving the lower-high sequence intact.

Resistance: 1.3242, 1.3254, 1.3286

Lower highs and lower lows from Tuesday's 1.3286 high; Asian low broken at London open.

The overnight slide from Tuesday's 1.3286 high extended at London open. Price broke the Asian low at 1.3242 and printed a London low at 1.3230 before bouncing back to retest the broken level, with a firmer USD on yields and oil ahead of the FOMC minutes driving the lower-high sequence. RSI(14) near 43 shows the selling has cooled, and price sits below both EMAs.

Support: 1.3230, 1.3200

Resistance: 1.3242, 1.3254, 1.3268

What it said to watch

  • Holding below the asian low at 1.3242 keeps the break intact; a close back above it and the london high at 1.3254 (38.2% of the 1.3286-1.3230 drop) would mark 1.3230 as a false break
  • Failure to hold the london low at 1.3230 opens the path to the 1.3200 round number
  • A close above the descending trendline (~1.3250) and the asian high at 1.3268 ends the lower-high sequence

Lower highs and lower lows from 1.3275; price pressing the descending trendline.

Asia session ground lower in a lower-high, lower-low sequence from the 1.3275 Asian high to a 1.3245 Asian low as USD firmed on yields and oil ahead of the FOMC minutes. That retraces about 50% of Tuesday's 1.3201–1.3286 leg off the prior high. Into the London open, price is pressing the descending trendline just under the 1.3256 swing high, with RSI(14) near 44.
