21:02 UTC

Uptrend, pressing resistance · RSI 61 · price 1.34087

Higher highs, higher lows since mid-June low.

Higher-high/higher-low structure intact since the mid-June low at 1.3142, with cable grinding to 3-week highs and now pressing the 1.3410-1.3470 resistance band that the 200-day EMA has capped all week. EMAs are stacked bullishly and ATR sits modest near 26 pips, a controlled advance rather than an expansion. The leg reflects faded UK political risk and BoE hike repricing against a softer dollar.

Support: 1.3322, 1.3315

Resistance: 1.3431, 1.3470

What it said to watch

  • H4 close above 1.3470 clears the 200d ema and opens the path toward 1.36
  • Failure at 1.3431-1.3470 and a slip below 1.3315 range base would signal the advance has ended
  • US CPI on Jul 14 could materially shift this read via the dollar

21:02 UTC

Uptrend, testing overhead cap · RSI 61 · price 1.34087

Higher lows since mid-June, pressing resistance.

Higher-low structure intact since the mid-June low near 1.3140, with cable now pressing into the 1.3410-1.3470 resistance zone capped by the 200-day EMA. The advance reflects GBP outperformance on fading UK political risk and BoE year-end hike repricing against a softer dollar. ATR(14) near 28 pips shows a steady trending regime rather than compression.

Support: 1.3372, 1.3322, 1.3315

Resistance: 1.3430, 1.3470

What it said to watch

  • H4 close above 1.3470 clears the 200-day ema cap and opens the path toward 1.36
  • Failure to hold 1.3315 range low signals the advance has ended
  • US CPI Jul 14 could materially shift the dollar side of this read

17:02 UTC

Uptrend, testing 3-week highs · RSI 59 · price 1.34073

Higher highs and higher lows since mid-window low.

Cable has recovered the full mid-window slide, printing higher lows off 1.3140 and pressing the 1.3430 3-wk high as fading UK political risk and BoE hike repricing lift sterling. Price sits above both EMA20 and EMA50 with the cross firmly positive, though the 1.3430/1.3470 200-day EMA zone has capped the advance. ATR near 42 pips shows a steady, non-explosive grind rather than an accelerating trend.

Support: 1.3330, 1.3315

Resistance: 1.34306, 1.3447

What it said to watch

  • H4 close above 1.34306 opens the path to the 1.3470 200-day ema barrier
  • Failure to hold the 1.3315-1.3330 range floor confirms a lower-low and ends the advance
  • US CPI Jul 14 could materially shift the dollar leg of this read

17:02 UTC

Uptrend, extending · RSI 61 · price 1.34073

Higher lows since mid-June, testing 1.3400 zone.

Cable is grinding higher within an ascending channel, printing a fresh 3-week high at 1.3431 as GBP outperforms on faded UK political risk and BoE hike repricing. Price holds above both EMA20 and EMA50 with a clean higher-low sequence off the 1.3140 June low; the 1.3410-1.3470 band (including the 200-day EMA) is the multi-day cap being probed. ATR is moderate, consistent with a steady advance rather than an impulsive breakout.

Support: 1.3330, 1.3315, 1.3140

Resistance: 1.3431, 1.3470

What it said to watch

  • H4 close above 1.3470 opens the path toward the 1.36 area
  • Rejection at 1.3431/1.3470 followed by a break of 1.3330 would end the higher-low sequence
  • US CPI (Jul 14) could materially shift the dollar side of this read

13:02 UTC

Uptrend, capped at ceiling · RSI 58 · price 1.33907

Higher highs, higher lows into 1.3400.

Cable has carved higher lows since the 1.3140 base, recovering the full mid-window slide and pressing the 1.3400/200-DMA ceiling that has repelled every advance this week — the last bar tagged 1.3416 and faded back to 1.3391. The bid reflects fully-priced BoE year-end hike expectations, leaving upside dependent on a softer USD. ATR(14) near 31 pips shows a controlled grind rather than an impulsive extension.

Support: 1.3322, 1.3315, 1.3140

Resistance: 1.3400, 1.3431

What it said to watch

  • H4 close above 1.3400 clears the ceiling and opens the extension toward 1.36
  • Loss of 1.3322 swing low breaks the higher-low sequence
  • US CPI Jul 14 is the dominant catalyst for the USD leg of this read

13:02 UTC

Uptrend, momentum slowing at ceiling · RSI 58 · price 1.33907

Higher lows since mid-June, capped at 1.3400.

Cable has carved higher lows off the 1.3140 base into a firm recovery, with the digest flagging fully-priced BoE year-end hike bets underpinning sterling. Price is now pressing the 1.3400/200-DMA ceiling that has repelled every advance this week — the 1.34306 print faded back to 1.339. ATR is moderate and EMA20/EMA50 remain stacked below price, keeping the structure constructive while it holds above the 1.3315 pivot.

Support: 1.3322, 1.3315

Resistance: 1.3400, 1.34306

What it said to watch

  • H4 close above 1.3410 clears the 200-dma ceiling and opens the path toward 1.36
  • Failure to hold 1.3315 confirms a lower-low and a corrective slide toward 1.3300
  • US CPI on Jul 14 is the dominant catalyst and could materially shift this read

09:02 UTC

Recovery uptrend off the 1.3140 low · RSI 63 · price 1.34155

Higher lows since mid-window trough, reclaiming 1.3400.

Cable has carved a rounded recovery from the 1.3140 swing low, printing a clean run of higher lows and reclaiming the 1.3400 handle/200-day EMA zone that capped price all week. The advance follows a hawkish-Fed USD bid that stalled the earlier rally, but demand has stepped back in and price now sits at 1.3416 with EMA20 back above EMA50. Layered resistance at 1.3445 is the next test into the recovery.

Support: 1.3340, 1.3300, 1.3140

Resistance: 1.3445, 1.3461

What it said to watch

  • H4 close above 1.3445 opens the path toward the 1.3461 prior high
  • Failure to hold 1.3300 key support negates the recovery and confirms a lower low
  • US CPI on Jul 14 could materially shift this read

09:02 UTC

Recovery uptrend, capped at 1.3400 · RSI 61 · price 1.34155

Higher lows since mid-window bottom, testing prior range top.

Cable has carved higher lows since the 1.3140 bottom mid-window, grinding back to retest the 1.3400 handle / 200-day EMA ceiling that has repeatedly rejected all week. The latest bar pushed to 1.3430 before closing back at 1.3416, so buyers are testing the cap but haven't cleared it, with the hawkish Fed minutes and Iran-driven USD bid still layered overhead. ATR is mid-range, consistent with a controlled recovery rather than an impulsive breakout.

Support: 1.3320, 1.3300, 1.3140

Resistance: 1.3430, 1.3460

What it said to watch

  • H4 close above 1.3430 clears the 200-day EMA cap and opens 1.3460
  • Failure to hold 1.3320 breaks the higher-low structure
  • Break below 1.3300 negates the recovery read
  • BoE Breeden and US jobless claims today could shift this read

05:02 UTC

Recovery uptrend, capped at 1.3400 · RSI 61 · price 1.33947

Higher highs / higher lows since 1.3140 low.

Cable has carved a steady higher-low sequence off the 1.3140 cycle low, retracing most of the earlier decline and pushing into the well-worn 1.3400-1.3410 cap that has repeatedly rejected price. The advance rides hawkish BoE repricing while a geopolitical USD bid keeps a lid on the 1.3400 handle. ATR is moderate and price sits above both EMAs, but momentum stalls into resistance.

Support: 1.3340, 1.3315, 1.3140

Resistance: 1.3410, 1.3445

What it said to watch

  • H4 close above 1.3410 unlocks the 1.3445 prior high
  • Loss of 1.3340 swing low signals the recovery has stalled
  • US Initial Jobless Claims today could shift the USD side of this read

05:02 UTC

Uptrend, recovery extending · RSI 62 · price 1.33947

Higher highs and higher lows since early-month low.

Cable has recovered the entire early-month decline from the 1.3140 low, printing higher lows into a fresh push at the 1.3400-1.3410 cap that has rejected price repeatedly. Sterling is underpinned by hawkish BoE repricing while a geopolitical USD bid keeps the 1.3410 handle in play. ATR is moderate and price is holding above both EMA20 and EMA50, consistent with the ongoing recovery leg.

Support: 1.3322, 1.3300

Resistance: 1.3410, 1.3445, 1.3461

What it said to watch

  • H4 close above 1.3410 unlocks 1.3445 then the 1.3461 range high
  • Loss of 1.3315-1.3300 negates the recovery and signals a lower low
  • US jobless claims and Williams today could shift the USD side of this read

01:02 UTC

Recovery, testing 1.3400 cap · RSI 61 · price 1.3394

Higher lows off 1.3140, capped at 1.3400.

Cable carved a rounded bottom off the 1.3140 low, building higher lows through the last week and grinding back into the 1.3400 handle that has capped price twice in the window. The advance leans on a hawkish BoE repricing that has left sterling a G10 outperformer, but the 1.3410–1.3460 band remains a layered resistance zone. Price now sits on the 0.786 retrace of the June down-leg from 1.3460 to 1.3140, with EMA20 and EMA50 both below spot.

Support: 1.3330, 1.3315

Resistance: 1.3400, 1.3410, 1.3460

What it said to watch

  • H4 close above 1.3410 opens the path to 1.3460
  • Failure to hold 1.3330 confirms a lower-low and negates the recovery
  • US CPI Jul 14 could materially shift this read

01:02 UTC

Recovery uptrend, capped at 1.3400 · RSI 61 · price 1.3394

Higher lows since mid-range low, testing range top.

Cable carved a rounded bottom off the 1.3140 low and has printed higher lows back to the 1.3400 handle, in line with the broader GBP outperformance and BoE hike repricing. Price is now pressing the 1.3410 prior high after a 9-day run stalled there, with ATR moderate rather than compressed. The zone 1.3400–1.3410 has capped the last several sessions and is the pivot for the recovery.

Support: 1.3330, 1.3140

Resistance: 1.3410, 1.3445

What it said to watch

  • H4 close above 1.3410 opens the path toward 1.3445 resistance
  • Failure to hold 1.3330 swing low would break the higher-low sequence
  • US CPI on Jul 14 could materially shift this read via USD flows
