Downtrend, flat basing above 1.3200 · RSI 57 · price 1.32096

Post-selloff micro range 1.3202–1.3210 after a NY breakdown.

The pre-London high at 1.3261 failed. A Dollar-led NY selloff on oil and a DXY at 17-month highs then broke the London low at 1.3227 and printed a session low at 1.3202. Since then price has compressed in an 8-pip box just above the 1.3200 floor, and early Asia is pressing the range top at 1.3210 without a 23.6% fib retracement yet.

Support: 1.3202, 1.3200

Resistance: 1.3210, 1.32156, 1.32269

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above the 1.3210 range top opens the 23.6% fib at 1.3216, then the london low at 1.3227
  • Failure at the session low of 1.3202 puts the 1.3200 floor (13 sessions held) under direct test
  • BoE Greene at 03:00 UTC and Fed's Waller at 07:45 UTC could break the compression

23:31 UTC

Downtrend, stalled above 1.3200 · RSI 57 · price 1.3208

Tight range 1.3202–1.3210 after NY lower-low.

GBP/USD gave back the pre-London push to 1.3261 as oil-driven Dollar demand took DXY to 17-month highs. NY broke the 1.3227 london low and printed a 1.3202 session low just above the 1.3200 round number. Since then, an 8-pip range capped by the 1.3210 range top has carried into early Asia, with none of the London-NY drop retraced and ATR compressed near 2.5 pips.

Support: 1.3202, 1.3200

Resistance: 1.3210, 1.3227

What it said to watch

  • M15 close below the 1.3200 round number breaks the 13-session floor and extends the lower-low sequence
  • Close above the 1.3210 range top opens a retracement toward the 1.3227 london low, near the 38.2% of the London-NY drop
  • BoE's Greene at 03:00 UTC and Fed's Waller at 07:45 UTC could break the current Asian range

23:16 UTC

Downtrend, stalled above 1.3200 · RSI 50 · price 1.32058

LH/LL leg from Asian high into NY low, flat 8-pip range since.

Monday's Asian high at 1.3261 was rejected into London open. A stepwise sell-off on the oil-driven USD bid ran to a 1.32015 NY low just above the 1.3200 floor. Since then price has held a tight 1.3202–1.3210 range into early Asia, with RSI(14) flat near 50 and ATR at about 2 pips.

Support: 1.32015, 1.3200

What it said to watch

  • M15 close below the 1.3200 floor breaks the 13-session floor and extends the lower-low chain
  • Close above the 1.3210 range top opens a retrace toward the 1.3227 london low, near the 38.2% fib
  • BoE Greene (03:00 UTC) and Fed Waller (07:45 UTC) could break the compressed range

23:01 UTC

Downtrend, stalled into tight range · RSI 47 · price 1.32058

Lower highs from 1.3261 Asia high, NY low at 1.3202, 9-pip box since.

GBPUSD gave back the pre-London spike to 1.3261 and slid through the NY session on broad oil-driven USD strength, printing the NY low at 1.3202 just above the 1.3200 psych floor. Since then it has compressed into a 1.3201–1.3210 box into early Asia session, with RSI(14) neutral near 47 and ATR at only ~2.5 pips.

Support: 1.32015, 1.3200

Resistance: 1.3210, 1.3227, 1.3236

What it said to watch

  • M15 close below the 1.3200 psych floor and the NY low breaks the 13-session base
  • Close above 1.3210 range top opens the London low at 1.3227, near the 38.2% fib of the Asia high-NY low drop
  • Acceptance back above the NY swing high at 1.3236 would undo the lower-high sequence
  • BoE Greene at 03:00 UTC and Fed Waller at 07:45 UTC could break the Asian range

22:47 UTC

Downtrend, stalled into flat consolidation · RSI 55 · price 1.32084

Lower-high sequence from 1.3236; tight 1.3202–1.3210 box since the NY low.

A Dollar-driven NY selloff from the 1.3236 NY high broke the 1.3227 London low and bottomed at 1.3202 (NY low), just above the 1.3200 psych floor, with oil and USD strength behind the move. Since then price has held a tight 1.3202–1.3210 box through the rollover into early Asia, well below the 1.3230–1.3261 Asian range. RSI(14) sits neutral near 55 and ATR is about 2.4 pips.

Support: 1.32015, 1.3200

Resistance: 1.32098, 1.32269, 1.32359

What it said to watch

  • M15 close below the 1.3200 psych floor, which has held for 13 sessions, would mark a fresh lower low with crowded GBP shorts in play
  • Close above the 1.3210 range top shifts focus to the 38.2% fib of the NY drop near 1.3215, then the 1.3227 London low
  • BoE Greene (03:00 UTC) and Fed's Waller (07:45 UTC) could break the box before London; US CPI Wed is the larger catalyst

22:31 UTC

Intraday downtrend, stalled in post-NY consolidation · RSI 54 · price 1.32085

Lower highs from Asian high; tight 1.3202–1.3210 base since NY low.

GBPUSD faded the Asia session push to 1.3261. London open sold through the asian low, and NY extended the slide to a 1.3202 ny low as oil-driven USD demand built ahead of Wednesday's US CPI. Since then price has compressed under a 1.3210 range top through the daily rollover, with ATR(14) shrinking below 3 pips and RSI(14) neutral near 54.

Support: 1.32015, 1.3200

Resistance: 1.3210, 1.32269, 1.32346

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above the 1.3210 range top opens the path to the 38.2% fib of the asian high to ny low leg near 1.3224, then the london low at 1.3227
  • Failure to hold the 1.3202 ny low extends the lower-low chain and exposes the 1.3200 psych level
  • Reclaim of the asian low at 1.3235 would negate the intraday downtrend read
  • BoE Greene (Tue 03:00 UTC) and Fed's Waller (Tue 07:45 UTC) could break the compression ahead of London

22:17 UTC

Downtrend, stalled in a tight base · RSI 56 · price 1.32087

Lower highs from 1.3261, compressing above 1.3202.

London open faded the Asian-session high at 1.3261, and NY extended the selloff to a 1.3202 day low through the London low, as oil-driven USD demand built ahead of Wednesday's CPI. Since then price has based in a 7-pip 1.3202–1.3210 range into early Asia. RSI(14) is neutral near 56 and price is pressing the range high.

Support: 1.32015, 1.3200

Resistance: 1.32096, 1.32269

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above the 1.3210 range high opens the London low at 1.3227, close to the 38.2% retrace of the selloff
  • Break of the 1.3202 day low and the 1.3200 round number resumes the lower-low sequence
  • BoE Greene (Tue 03:00 UTC) and Fed Waller (Tue 07:45 UTC) could shift this read; US CPI Wed is the larger event risk

22:01 UTC

Downtrend, stalled in a tight base · RSI 57 · price 1.32086

Lower highs from the Asian high; 7-pip post-NY range above the NY low.

London opened with a break below the Asian range off the 1.3261 high, and NY extended the slide to a 1.3202 NY low as oil-driven USD demand built ahead of Wednesday's CPI. Since then the pair has held a 1.3202–1.3209 base through the Asia open, with price pressing the range top and the fib 38.2 of the NY leg at 1.3215 overhead.

Support: 1.3202, 1.3200

Resistance: 1.3209, 1.3215, 1.3227

What it said to watch

  • A close above the 1.3209 range top puts the fib 38.2 at 1.3215 in play, with the london low at 1.3227 next
  • Failure to hold the 1.3202 ny low exposes the 1.3200 round number and confirms a lower-low
  • BRC retail sales at 23:01 UTC and BoE Greene at 03:00 UTC could shift this read in thin Asian liquidity
  • ATR near 3 pips means a break of the base needs a range-expanding bar to count

21:31 UTC

Downtrend, stalled into consolidation · RSI 42 · price 1.32047

NY selloff leg to 1.3202, tight post-NY range 1.3202–1.3209.

London's push above the Asian range to 1.3261 failed. From the 1.3236 NY high, price broke the Asian low at 1.3222 and fell to 1.3202 as oil-driven USD demand built ahead of Wednesday's CPI. Since 15:45 UTC it has held a 7-pip consolidation under the 1.3209 range top through rollover, with RSI(14) near 42 and the NY selloff fib barely retraced.

Support: 1.32015, 1.3200

Resistance: 1.32088, 1.32219, 1.32359

What it said to watch

  • M15 close below the 1.3202 session low and 1.3200 round number extends the NY leg toward 1.3180
  • Close above the 1.3209 range top opens a retrace toward the 1.3215 fib 38.2% and the 1.3222 asian low
  • Rejection at the 1.3222 asian low keeps the breakdown intact; reclaiming the 1.3236 ny high negates it
  • BoE Greene (Tue 03:00 UTC) could break the thin Asia-session range

21:17 UTC

Downtrend, stalled in post-NY consolidation · RSI 43 · price 1.32042

Lower highs from 1.3261; tight 1.3202–1.3209 box after the NY breakdown.

Cable printed a rejection at the 1.3261 high before London open, then made lower highs as oil-driven USD demand built. NY broke the 1.3215–1.3222 floor and set a 1.3202 session low. Since then price has held a 1.3202–1.3209 consolidation through the rollover, with RSI(14) neutral near 43 and ATR at about 2.7 pips.

Support: 1.32015, 1.3180

Resistance: 1.32088, 1.3222, 1.32377

What it said to watch

  • Close below the 1.3202 session low and the 1.3200 handle extends the NY leg toward the 1.3180 3m low area
  • Recovery above the 1.3209 range top and the 1.3222 breakdown level (near 38.2% fib) challenges the lower-high sequence, with the 1.3238 lower high next
  • Fed's Waller (Tue 07:45 UTC) and BoE's Greene (Tue 03:00 UTC) could jolt the Asian range; US CPI Wed 12:30 UTC is the bigger risk

21:02 UTC

Downtrend, stalled into a tight base · RSI 42 · price 1.32078

Lower highs from the Asian high, Asian low broken in NY, now basing above the NY low.

Cable faded from the 1.3261 Asian high through London, then broke the 1.3220 Asian low during NY hours as oil-driven USD demand built ahead of Wednesday's CPI. It bottomed at the 1.3202 NY low. Since then it has compressed into a 1.3202–1.3209 range under a lower-high trendline, with RSI(14) near 42 and ATR(14) at about 2.7 pips as Asia opens.

Support: 1.32015, 1.3180

Resistance: 1.32088, 1.32196, 1.32314

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above the 1.3209 range top opens a retest of the broken asian low at 1.3220, near the lower-high trendline
  • Failure to hold the 1.3202 ny low extends the lower-low chain toward the 1.3180 3m low
  • Reclaim of the fib 50% at 1.3231 would neutralise the lower-high sequence
  • Fed's Waller (Tue 07:45 UTC) could shift USD tone into London; UK BRC sales at 23:01 UTC are minor

20:47 UTC

Downtrend, stalled into tight late-NY base · RSI 48 · price 1.32074

Lower highs from 1.3261 pre-London high; NY leg to 1.3202, then 7-pip box.

Cable faded from the 1.3261 session high as oil-driven USD demand built ahead of Wednesday's US CPI. The NY session broke the 1.3227 breakdown level and extended to a 1.3202 session low. Since then price has compressed in a 1.3202–1.3209 box, sitting on EMA20 with RSI(14) near 48 and ATR(14) under 3 pips.

Support: 1.32015, 1.3184

Resistance: 1.32088, 1.32269, 1.32612

What it said to watch

  • Close below the 1.3202 session low and 1.3200 opens the 1.3184 3m low
  • Close above the 1.3209 range top ends the compression; 1.3227 breakdown level and 38.2% fib near 1.3224 sit above
  • Fed's Waller (Tue 07:45 UTC) and BoE's Greene (Tue 03:00 UTC) could shift the read into London

20:32 UTC

Downtrend, stalled after NY close · RSI 40 · price 1.32068

Lower highs from London high; tight post-selloff consolidation above day low.

London's push above the Asian high failed at the 1.3261 london high, and NY broke the 1.3220 asian low as oil-driven USD demand built, printing a day low at 1.3202. Since then a 7-pip consolidation between the day low and the 1.3209 range top has held into the post-NY lull, with RSI(14) near 40 and ATR(14) around 3 pips.

Resistance: 1.3209, 1.3220, 1.3261

  • M15 close above the 1.3209 range top, then reclaim of the 1.3220 asian low, would mark the first higher high since the selloff
  • Break of the 1.3202 day low exposes the 1.3184 3m low area
  • 50% retrace of the london high-day low leg sits near 1.3231; rejection below it keeps the lower-high sequence intact

Downtrend, stalled into late-NY consolidation · RSI 40 · price 1.32044

Lower highs from 1.3238; tight 1.3202–1.3209 box above the session low.

London open rejected the 1.3261 Asian high. An NY-session sell-off then cut through the 1.3227 London low and the 1.3222 breakdown level as oil-driven USD demand built ahead of Wednesday's CPI. Since 15:45 UTC price has compressed into a 1.3202–1.3209 consolidation just above the 1.3202 session low, with RSI(14) near 40 and ATR down to about 3 pips.

Support: 1.32015, 1.3180

Resistance: 1.32088, 1.3222, 1.32269

What it said to watch

  • M15 close below the 1.3202 session low extends the lower-low chain toward the 1.3180 3-month low
  • Close above the 1.3209 range top that also reclaims the 1.3222 breakdown level shifts the read to a corrective bounce, with the 38.2% sell-off fib at 1.3224 overhead
  • A break of the descending trendline from 1.3238 would mark the first lower-high failure since London
  • Fed's Waller (Tue 07:45 UTC) could shift this read. US CPI on Wed is the larger event risk

Lower highs from London high; tight base above 1.3202 after Asian-range break.

London's push above the Asian range to 1.3261 failed, and NY broke the 1.3220 Asian low as oil-driven USD demand built ahead of Wednesday's CPI, extending to a 1.3202 session low. Since then price has compressed into a ~7-pip band below the 1.3209 range top late in NY hours. RSI(14) sits near 39 and price is below EMA20/50.

Lower highs since London open; tight post-selloff range above 1.3200.

London's early push above the Asian high to 1.3261 failed, and lower highs followed as oil-driven USD demand built ahead of Wednesday's CPI. NY broke the Asian low at 1.3220 and printed a session low at 1.3202. Price has since compressed in a 7-pip range top-capped box at 1.3202–1.3209 into late NY, with RSI(14) near 33 and ATR(14) about 3 pips.

NY then broke the 1.3220 breakdown level, which is the Sunday-open low, and printed a day low at 1.3202. Since 16:00 UTC price has compressed in a 7-pip box capped by the range top at 1.3209, right on the descending trendline from the morning highs, with RSI(14) neutral near 43.

Downtrend, stalling above 1.3200 · RSI 31 · price 1.32065

Lower highs from 1.3261 session high; tight consolidation 1.3202–1.3209 after the NY leg lower.

Cable rejected the 1.3261 session high just before London open. During NY hours it broke the London low at 1.3227 and the Sunday low at 1.3220 as oil-driven USD demand built into Wednesday's CPI, printing a 1.3202 swing low. Late NY has compressed into a 7-pip consolidation under the 1.3209 cons high, with RSI(14) off oversold near 31 and ATR(14) at ~4 pips.

Cable has printed lower highs since the 1.3261 London-open high, and NY hours broke the Asian range at the 1.3220 asia low on oil-driven USD demand ahead of Wednesday's CPI. The selloff ran to a 1.3202 session low. The late-NY bounce stalled at the 1.3209 bounce high, leaving price basing just above 1.3200 in thin US-holiday trade with RSI(14) near 35.

Cable faded from the 1.3261 session high set just before London open. The NY sell-off cut through the 1.3220 Asian low to a 1.3202 session low as oil-driven USD demand built ahead of Wednesday's CPI. Late NY price is basing in a 1.3202–1.3209 band with RSI(14) near 30, and the 1.3209 bounce high is capping the base.

Cable broke the 1.3215 range floor and the 1.3227 London low in the first hours of NY as oil-driven USD demand built ahead of Wednesday's CPI. The sell-off from the 1.3238 NY high printed a 1.3202 session low, and price is now coiling just above the 1.3200 round number with RSI(14) near 27.

Lower highs from day high; Asian low broken, basing above session low.

Cable has printed lower highs since the 1.3261 day high just before London open. After the NY open it broke the London range and the 1.3220 asian low, sliding to a 1.3202 session low as oil-driven USD demand built ahead of Wednesday's CPI. Late NY is basing just above that low with RSI(14) near 27, and the selloff's 38.2% fib sits near 1.3224.

GBP/USD faded from the 1.3261 Asian high through a chain of lower highs, then broke the 1.3220 Asian low and 1.3227 London low during NY hours as USD turned bid on Middle East and oil headlines. Price is stalling after London close at a 1.3202 session low, just above the 1.3200 round number, with RSI(14) near 23 and holiday-thinned liquidity.

Lower highs since 1.3261 pre-London peak; Asian range broken lower.

The NY leg broke the Asian low near 1.3218 and the 1.3215 range floor as oil and Middle East headlines revived USD demand, carving a lower-high chain from the 1.3236 NY high to a 1.3202 session low. RSI(14) sits near 24 and price is stalling just above the 1.3200 round number into the London close.

Downtrend, oversold after NY-session leg lower · RSI 21 · price 1.32051

Lower highs from 1.3261; 1.3227 range floor and Asian low broken.

GBP/USD broke the 1.3227 range floor, the Asian low at 1.3220 and the 1.3215 floor flagged in the digest during NY hours. It slid to a 1.3202 session low, just above the 1.3200 round number, as oil-driven safe-haven USD demand extended the fade from the 1.3261 high. RSI(14) near 21 is oversold, and thin US-holiday liquidity amplified the leg, which runs on a clean sequence of lower highs.

Lower highs since 13:45 UTC; London low and Asia low both broken.

The NY session broke the 1.3227–1.3238 London range and cut through the 1.3220 asia low as USD firmed on safe-haven demand ahead of Wednesday's US CPI. Seven straight lower highs from the 1.3236 ny high form a descending line. RSI(14) near 23 is stretched, with price now within about 5 pips of the 1.3200 round number.

  • A move back above the 1.3220 asia low turns the breakdown into a false break.
  • The 1.3200 round number, then the 1.3180 prior low, are the next downside references.
  • A close above the descending line and the 1.3236 ny high negates the NY sell-off structure; the 1.3227 london low is the first hurdle.

Lower highs from 1.3261; NY broke London and Asian lows.

A push through the Asian high to 1.3261 just before London was rejected. Lower highs since then have fed an NY-session range break through the 1.3227 London low and the 1.3220 Asian low as USD firmed on safe-haven demand. Price now sits on the 1.3210 session low with RSI(14) near 26 in holiday-thin liquidity, and the 1.3215 broken floor is now overhead.

  • Fed Hammack at 16:50 UTC; thin US-holiday liquidity can exaggerate moves

Lower highs since London high; Asian low broken.

London briefly pushed above the Asian range to the 1.3261 London high, then reversed into a steady lower-high sequence, with the latest lower high at 1.3236. NY has broken the Asian low at 1.3220 and printed a fresh session low at 1.3214 as USD firmed on Middle East/oil safe-haven demand in holiday-thin liquidity. RSI(14) is near 31, not yet extreme.

Intraday downtrend, extending into NY · RSI 33 · price 1.32183

Lower highs since 1.3261 rejection; London low broken in NY.

The pre-London spike to the 1.3261 day high met rejection at the London open, and the pair has printed lower highs since, the latest at 1.3238. Early NY broke the 1.3227 London low and the Sunday open low as USD firmed on Middle East tensions in thin holiday liquidity. Price now sits at 1.3218, just above the 1.3215 range floor, with RSI(14) near 33.

Lower-high chain from 1.3261; session low 1.3222 sits just above the Asian low.

The early-Europe push to the 1.3261 session high on softer US yields was rejected as the USD recovered. London and thin, US-holiday NY hours have carved lower highs down to a 1.3222 session low, just above the 1.3220 Asian low. RSI(14) near 41 shows no extreme, and bars are compressing at around 5-6 pips.

  • Close above the 1.3236 lower high breaks the descending trendline and the lower-high chain

Intraday downtrend, lower highs since London · RSI 40 · price 1.32232

Lower highs and lower lows from the London high; NY broke the 1.3227 range low.

The drop from the London session high at 1.3261 has printed a clean lower-high chain. The NY session then broke the 1.3227–1.3238 range to trade just above the Asian low at 1.3220 as the USD firmed into Wednesday's CPI. RSI(14) near 40 is not stretched, and holiday-thin US liquidity keeps the ATR at around 5–6 pips.

Support: 1.3220, 1.3200

Resistance: 1.3227, 1.3238, 1.3261

What it said to watch

  • Failure to hold the asian low at 1.3220 extends the lower-low sequence toward the 1.3200 round number
  • Recovery back above the 1.3227 range low and the lower highs trendline would mark the break as a false break

Lower highs since 06:30 UTC, compressing 1.3227–1.3238.

The London open spike to the 1.3261 London high was rejected, and a chain of lower highs followed as the USD recovered on caution ahead of US CPI. Since late London, price has compressed between the 1.3227 session low and the 1.3238 lower high, under the falling trendline and both EMAs, with RSI(14) near 43 in a thin US-holiday NY session.

Support: 1.3227, 1.3220

Resistance: 1.3238, 1.3261

What it said to watch

  • An M15 close below the 1.3227 session low extends the lower-low chain toward the 1.3220 Monday low.
  • A close above the 1.3238 lower high and the falling trendline breaks the descending sequence, with 1.3261 above.
  • Fed Hammack at 16:50 UTC and the BRC print at 23:01 UTC are the near-term risk; US CPI on Wed carries more weight.

Intraday down, now compressing · RSI 45 · price 1.32323

Lower highs from London high, tight 1.3227–1.3238 band.

The early-London push to the 1.3261 London high briefly cleared the 1.3253 Asian high. That false break was rejected, and price bled into a chain of lower highs as the USD recovered through Europe on oil and Middle East headlines ahead of Wednesday's CPI. Into the first hour of NY, the 1.3227 session low is holding and price is compressed beneath the 1.3238 lower high, with ATR(14) shrinking to about 5 pips on thin US-holiday liquidity.

Support: 1.3227, 1.3220

Resistance: 1.3238, 1.3253, 1.3261

  • M15 close below the 1.3227 session low extends the lower-high sequence and puts the 1.3220 Asian low in play
  • M15 close above the 1.3238 lower high breaks the compression; the 1.3253 Asian high and the 1.3261 London high sit above
  • A recovery to the 38.2% retracement of the London high to session low drop (~1.3240) would neutralise the intraday lower-high read

Intraday downtrend, compressing near lows · RSI 46 · price 1.32323

Lower highs since the early-London false break; tight base above the 1.3227 session low inside the Asian range.

An early-London spike to the 1.3261 session high above the Asian range top failed. Price has since printed lower highs under a descending trendline and sits back in the lower half of the Asian range. The 1.3227 session low has held into the first hour of NY with ATR near 5 pips, as USD caution ahead of Wednesday's CPI and holiday-thin US trade keep ranges tight.

Lower highs from 1.3261, tight 1.3227–1.3238 base.

The pre-London push to the 1.3261 session high was a false break of the 1.3253 Asian high. Supply capped it from the London open, and a sequence of lower highs pulled price back through the Asian range to a 1.3227 session low. Early NY is compressing between 1.3227 and the 1.3238 lower high, below EMA20/EMA50 with RSI(14) at 42, as the USD stays firm into Wednesday's CPI in thin US-holiday liquidity.

The pre-London spike high at 1.3261 was rejected at London open, and the pair has since printed a chain of lower highs from the 1.3247 London high, capped by the lower-highs trendline. Price is compressing between the 1.3227 London low and the 1.3238 lower high, below both EMAs with RSI(14) near 43.

London lower highs and lower lows off 1.3261, now basing 1.3227–1.3238 inside the Asian range.

The pre-London spike to the 1.3261 session high met rejection. London then sold off to a 1.3227 session low, taking price back inside the Asian range (1.3220 low to 1.3253 high) as the USD firmed on haven demand. Price is now basing between 1.3227 and the 1.3238 lower high and pressing the London trendline into the first hour of NY, with US-holiday liquidity thin and RSI(14) neutral near 48.

Lower highs and lower lows since the London-open rejection, compressing above the session low.

London opened with a rejection of the 1.3261 session high, and GBPUSD has stepped down in lower highs to a 1.3227 session low as the USD recovered on pre-CPI caution, in thin holiday trade. The noon bounce stalled at the 1.3238 lower high, below the 38.2% fib, and price is holding just above the session low with RSI(14) near 41.

Lower highs from 1.3261 session high; base at 1.3227 session low.

Pre-London push to the 1.3261 session high was a false break of the Asian high. As the USD recovered on pre-CPI caution, London ground out lower highs down to the 1.3227 session low at 11:00 UTC. Late-London bounce is now testing the 1.3238 lower high, at the 23.6% of the London selloff fib, with price pinned on EMA20 and ATR(14) compressed near 6 pips.

That false break has since unwound into a chain of lower highs, reaching a session low of 1.3227 late in the London session as the USD recovered on haven demand. RSI(14) sits near 36 with price below EMA20/50, and the asian low at 1.3220 and friday low at 1.3206 lie just underneath.

Support: 1.3227, 1.3220, 1.3206

Resistance: 1.3240, 1.3253, 1.3261

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above the 1.3240 fib 38.2 and the falling trendline breaks the lower-high chain
  • Failure to hold the 1.3227 session low exposes the 1.3220 asian low, then the 1.3206 friday low
  • Reclaim of the asian high at 1.3253 and the london high at 1.3261 would negate the false break
  • BoE Mann at 12:50 UTC and Fed Hammack at 16:50 UTC could shift this read; NY session liquidity is thin with US holiday

Intraday downtrend since London open · RSI 33 · price 1.3229

Lower highs and lower lows from the 1.3261 session high, pressing the session low.

The pre-London push to the 1.3261 session high met rejection at the London open. Each London bounce has since printed a lower high under a falling London trendline, with price now sitting on the 1.3227 session low and RSI(14) near 33. USD recovered on Middle East caution ahead of Wednesday's CPI, and US holiday-thin trade is keeping ATR near 5 pips.

  • A close below the 1.3227 session low extends the lower-low chain toward the 1.3220 Asian low, then the 1.3206 Friday low
  • A break above the London trendline and the 1.3233 lower high would interrupt the London downtrend; the 50% fib of the London drop and the Friday high sit together at 1.3244

Intraday downtrend, momentum soft · RSI 41 · price 1.32317

Lower highs and lower lows since the pre-London high.

Thin Monday trade with the US on holiday. Price pushed above the Asian range top at 1.3253 to a 1.3261 session high, and that false break reversed as USD firmed on Middle East caution ahead of Wednesday's CPI. London has since printed a steady lower-high chain off the swing high at 1.3247 and the lower high at 1.3238, reaching a 1.3227 session low near the 78.6% retrace of the Asian rally, with price now pressing the descending trendline.

Support: 1.3227, 1.3220, 1.3206

Resistance: 1.3238, 1.3247, 1.3261

Intraday downtrend, lower highs since London open · RSI 33 · price 1.32289

Lower-high/lower-low chain from the 1.3261 session high; testing the session low.

Monday's Asian rally was rejected at the London open after a spike to the 1.3261 session high. Since then a steady lower-high chain has erased the gain, and price is pressing the 1.3227 session low just above the 1.3220 Asian low. RSI(14) near 33 shows soft momentum but is not oversold, and trade is thin with the US on holiday.

Intraday downtrend, lower highs through London · RSI 40 · price 1.32318

Pre-London spike to 1.3261 rejected; London lower highs and lower lows.

Asia lifted GBP/USD from the 1.3220 asian low to 1.3252 on softer US yields. A pre-London spike to the 1.3261 session high was rejected, and London has since capped at 1.3247 (london high) with a run of lower highs, the latest at 1.3238. Price is sitting on the 1.3229 london low in thin US-holiday trade, with RSI near 40 and EMA20/50 overhead.

Intraday downtrend, grinding lower · RSI 38 · price 1.32319

Lower highs and lower lows through London after a rejection at the 1.3261 session high.

A pre-London push above the 1.3253 asian high to a 1.3261 session high reversed at London open, a false break. Since then the pair has printed lower highs from 1.3247 to 1.3238 and is pressing the 1.3231 session low, with RSI(14) near 38 and US-holiday volumes keeping ranges near 6 pips per bar. That leaves price mid-way inside the Asian range and well off the 1.3220 asian low.

Resistance: 1.3241, 1.3253, 1.3261

Intraday down-leg, compressing near lows · RSI 38 · price 1.32344

Lower highs pressing onto a flat 1.3233 floor inside the Asian range.

A pre-London push above the 1.3253 asian high to a 1.3261 session high was rejected at the open. London has since carved a chain of lower highs, the latest at 1.3240, down to the 1.3233 london low, which has held four tests and sits near the 61.8% retracement of the overnight rally. RSI(14) is near 38 and ATR(14) is around 6.7 pips, with US holiday trade keeping liquidity thin.

Intraday down since London open, stalling at a floor · RSI 36 · price 1.32344

Lower highs pressing a flat 1.3233 floor.

The pre-London push through the 1.3253 asian high to a 1.3261 session high failed. London has since unwound it to the 1.3233 session low, a lower-highs sequence pressing a flat floor near the 61.8% retracement of the overnight rally. Breeden's 09:30 UTC remarks left little mark, and the US holiday keeps liquidity thin.

Intraday pullback, lower highs since London open · RSI 37 · price 1.32332

Asia rally rejected at 1.3261, London lower highs into flat 1.3233 support.

The Asia rally from the 1.3220 asian low was rejected at the 1.3261 asian high. London has since printed a string of lower highs under a descending trendline and is back on the 1.3233 london low, below the 61.8% fib of the Asia move. Breeden at 09:30 UTC drew only a brief bounce, and US-holiday liquidity keeps ATR near 6-7 pips.

Intraday fade, lower highs since London open · RSI 45 · price 1.3237

Failed break above Asian high, now pressing Asian range low.

The pre-London push through the 1.3253 asian high to a 1.3261 session high was rejected. London has faded on lower highs since and is now testing the Asian range low, with a marginal london low at 1.3233. Ranges are tight with US, Japan and Canada on holiday, and Breeden at 09:30 UTC drew only a brief dip-and-recover.

Intraday downswing, lower highs since London open · RSI 37 · price 1.32327

Failed break above Asian high, now back in lower half of Asian range.

London open pushed through the Asian high at 1.3253 to a 1.3261 London high, then rejected. Since then a run of lower highs, the latest at 1.3244, has driven price back below the 61.8% fib of the Asia-London leg to a 1.3233 session low. Holiday-thinned liquidity (Japan, US, Canada off) and RSI(14) near 37 leave the 1.3230 round number as the next shelf, ATR ~6.6 pips.

Support: 1.3230, 1.32196, 1.32056

  • BoE Breeden (09:30 UTC, now) and Mann (12:50 UTC) could break the intraday band either way
  • M15 close below the 1.3220 Asian low extends the lower-high sequence toward the 1.3206 Friday low
  • Recovery above the 1.3244 lower high breaks the descending trendline and neutralises the London rejection
  • Reclaiming the 1.3253 Asian high would turn the false break into a retest of the 1.3261 London high

Intraday pullback, momentum neutral · RSI 46 · price 1.32391

Lower highs off a 1.3261 false break above the Asian high, holding the 1.3235 floor.

A pre-London push cleared the asian high at 1.3253 and was rejected at the 1.3261 session high, giving back almost the full pre-London leg. Price now sits at the 1.3235 london low, which also held twice in London, beneath a run of lower highs near 1.3247. RSI(14) is neutral at ~46 and ATR is ~7 pips in holiday-thinned US/Japan liquidity.

Resistance: 1.3247, 1.3253, 1.3261

What it said to watch

  • M15 close below the 1.3235 london low breaks the session floor and exposes the 1.3220 gap low from the Monday open
  • Recovery through the 1.3247 lower highs line reopens the 1.3253 asian high and the 1.3261 session high
  • BoE Breeden at 09:30 UTC (Mann 12:50 UTC): a hike-backing or patience tone could break the current band

Pullback from session high, momentum neutral · RSI 48 · price 1.32385

Failed break above Asian high, lower highs into 1.3235 session low.

A push through the 1.3253 Asian high to a 1.3261 session high ahead of London reversed, and price has given back the move to the 1.3235 session low. That low has held twice and sits at the 61.8% fib of the Asian low to session high leg. Lower highs at 1.3247 cap the bounce, with RSI(14) near 48, price below both EMAs and trade thin with the US and Japan on holiday.

Failed pre-London push, lower highs above 1.3235 london low.

The pre-London push through the asian high at 1.3253 to a session high of 1.3261 reversed at London open, giving back about 80% of the 05:15–06:30 UTC rally to the 1.3235 london low. Since then a lower high near 1.3247 has capped price, which sits near the middle of the 1.3215–1.3260 band as softer US yields lift GBP in thin US-holiday trade.

False break above Asian high, lower highs, testing swing low.

The pre-London push cleared the Asian high at 1.3253 to a session high of 1.3261. Supply stepped in through the London open and erased the entire leg, leaving lower highs at 1.3247. Price now sits on the 1.3235 swing low, with holiday-thin US/Japan liquidity and softer US yields keeping the move contained.

Intraday higher lows, momentum stalled · RSI 50 · price 1.32457

False break above Asian high, back inside range.

Monday's Asian session gapped lower and then climbed from the 1.3220 Asian low, helped by softer US yields in holiday-thin trade. A push before the London open to the 1.3261 session high briefly cleared the 1.3253 Asian high. The London open rejected it back to the 1.3239 London low, which leaves a false break. Price is now flat near 1.3246 with RSI(14) at 50, and the rising higher-low line from 1.3220 through 1.3235 has met the London low.

Support: 1.32394, 1.32346, 1.32196

Resistance: 1.32527, 1.32612, 1.3280

  • M15 close back above the 1.3253 asian high negates the false-break read and reopens the 1.3261 session high
  • Failure to hold the 1.3239 london low breaks the rising higher-low line and exposes the 1.3235 higher low, then the 1.3220 asian low
  • Range top at 1.3280 caps the broader three-week box
  • BoE Breeden 09:30 UTC and Mann 12:50 UTC could shift November hike pricing and this read
  • US holiday liquidity is thin, so session range extensions may lack follow-through

Higher lows intact, momentum stalled at London open · RSI 45 · price 1.32412

Failed push above Asian high; pullback testing rising lows.

A pre-London push swept the Asian high at 1.3253 to a 1.3261 session high. The London open rejected it back to a 1.3240 London low, about 78.6% of the 1.3235–1.3261 leg, as the soft-yield USD drift ran out of follow-through. Price sits just under EMA50 on the rising trendline from the 1.3220 Monday low, with RSI(14) at 45.

A pre-London push cleared the 1.3253 Asian high to a 1.3261 session high, near the 1.3260 range top, then reversed at the London open. The drop stalled at the 1.3240 London low, about a 61.8% retrace of the 1.3235–1.3261 leg, with the rising line off the 1.3220 Asian low still intact on the softer-yield USD backdrop; RSI(14) is neutral near 48.

Intraday range, momentum fading after rejection · RSI 47 · price 1.3243

False break above Asian high, back inside Asian range.

On a holiday-thin Monday with yields easing, GBPUSD climbed from the 1.3220 Sunday low and pushed through the 1.3253 Asian high to a 1.3261 pre-London high. The London open bar rejected that move hard, leaving a false break and taking price back to 1.3243. That is about a 68% retrace of the 1.3235 swing low to 1.3261 pre-London leg, with the 1.3241 London low the first floor and RSI(14) neutral near 47.

Intraday uptrend, higher lows since Asia open · RSI 59 · price 1.32529

Asian range high broken pre-London, now retesting it.

Pre-London buying cleared the Asian high at 1.3252 and Friday's 1.3247 peak, setting a session high at 1.3261 before easing back to retest the breakout area at London open. Monday's push tracks a softer USD on easing yields; RSI(14) is neutral near 59 and the higher-lows line from the 1.3220 Asian low is intact.

  • M15 close above the 1.3261 session high opens the path to the 1.3280 range top

Intraday uptrend, first pullback after London push · RSI 60 · price 1.32525

Higher lows since Monday open; Asian range high broken, now under retest.

Monday opened with a ~10-pip gap lower to 1.3220. Since then the pair has built higher lows along the Asia trendline as softer US yields weighed on USD. London open broke the Asian high at 1.3253, cleared the Friday high at 1.3247 and tagged 1.3261. Rejection there has pulled price back onto the Asian high for a retest, with RSI(14) cooling to ~60.

Support: 1.3253, 1.3247, 1.3235

Resistance: 1.3261, 1.3280

What it said to watch

  • Holding 1.3247–1.3253 (friday high / asian high, near the 50–61.8% London leg fib) keeps the breakout intact; an M15 close below 1.3247 reads as a false break back into the Asian range
  • Loss of the 1.3235 swing low and the Asia trendline ends the higher-low sequence
  • An M15 close above the 1.3261 London high opens the path to the 1.3280 range top

Late in the Asia session, the pre-London leg off the 1.3235 swing low cleared the Asian high at 1.3253 and Friday's 1.3247 peak, setting a session high at 1.3259 as the USD eased on lower yields. RSI(14) is near 69, hot but not stretched. The Asia trendline from the 1.3220 Asian low remains intact.

Higher-low chain inside Asian range 1.3220–1.3253; price retesting range top.

Late Asia session, about 45 minutes before London open. GBPUSD bounced off the 05:15 UTC pullback low at 1.3235, close to the 50% retracement of the Asian rally on the asia fib, and is back pressing the 1.3253 asia high. A softer USD on easing yields is behind the Asia bid; RSI(14) is ~61 and ATR is ~4 pips, with rising support from the 1.3220 asia low still intact.

Asia filled the weekend gap and lifted GBPUSD from the 1.3220 asia low to the 1.3253 asia high as softer US yields weighed on the USD. Price then printed lower highs into a 1.3235 pullback low, between the 50% and 61.8% fib of the Asia rally, and is back at 1.3243 just under the 1.3248 lower high an hour before London open, with RSI(14) neutral near 48.

The pullback held the 1.3240 swing low at the 38.2% fib, and price is now consolidating around 1.3246, with RSI(14) neutral near 49 and ATR about 3.6 pips against a softer USD on easing yields.

Late Asia session: GBPUSD opened with a small weekend gap down, held a 1.3220 asia low and filled the gap through the 1.3235 fri close as a softer USD on easing yields lifted sterling. The leg briefly cleared Friday's 1.3250 high to a 1.3253 asia high and was rejected, and the pullback low at 1.3240 sits on the 38.2% fib. Price is just under the ema20 with RSI(14) near 55.

The move filled Friday's gap and briefly cleared Friday's 1.3250 high to a 1.3253 Asia high before stalling.

It then set a 1.3253 session high, with RSI(14) cooling to about 67.

Early Asia session climbed in higher lows, filled the gap, and cleared Friday's NY high at 1.3244, carrying Friday's firm-GBP tone after sterling shrugged off the US Michigan miss. Price now sits just under the friday high at 1.3250 with RSI(14) near 70 and the Asian range still developing; the asia rally fib tracks the leg up from the open low.

Support: 1.3244, 1.3238, 1.3220

Resistance: 1.3250, 1.3300

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above the friday high at 1.3250 extends the breakout, with the 1.3300 round number the next figure
  • Slip back below the ny high at 1.3244 turns the breakout into a false break
  • Loss of the asia shelf at 1.3238 and the rising trendline breaks the higher-low chain
  • A move back to the open low at 1.3220 puts the gap retracement in question
  • BoE Breeden at 09:30 UTC and Mann at 12:50 UTC could shift November hike odds and reset the London range

Intraday uptrend off the weekly open, RSI warm · RSI 71 · price 1.32459

Weekend gap filled, higher lows, testing Friday high.

The Asia open gapped about 10 pips lower to the 1.3220 monday low. Price then filled the gap and broke the 1.3244 fri ny high, and is now pressing the 1.3250 friday high with RSI(14) near 71. Early-Asia flow is thin, and sterling carries Friday's firmer tone after the Michigan miss and Waller's comments.

Support: 1.3244, 1.3220, 1.3206

Resistance: 1.3250

What it said to watch

  • An M15 close above the 1.3250 friday high extends the breakout; a rejection there leaves a double test of the same high.
  • A slip back below the 1.3244 fri ny high turns the move into a false break. The 38.2% retracement of the monday rally fib sits near 1.3237.
  • Losing the rally trendline and the 1.3220 monday low reopens the 1.3206 friday low.
  • BoE Breeden at 09:30 UTC in the London session could shift this read, given the ~83% November hike pricing.

Asia session opened about 10 pips below Friday's close.

Price now sits just under the 1.3248 Fri Asia hi and the 1.3250 prior high, with RSI(14) near 59 and ATR around 5 pips.

Support: 1.3244, 1.3235, 1.3220

Resistance: 1.3250, 1.3248

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above 1.3250 prior high clears the window's top; failure there leaves a rejection under Friday's highs
  • Slip back below the 1.3244 Fri NY high turns the breakout into a false break, with the 1.3235 gap fill next
  • Break of rising support from the 1.3220 gap low ends the Asia higher-low sequence
  • BoE Breeden (09:30 UTC) during the London session could shift GBP hike pricing and this read

Recovering, momentum neutral · RSI 51 · price 1.32388

Weekend gap filled; higher low above Friday's range low, price pressing Friday's NY high.

The weekend gap down to the 1.3220 gap low was filled in the early Asia session. Price is back above the 1.3235 Friday close (fri close) and both EMAs after holding the 1.3230 asia pivot, with Friday's 1.3244 NY high and the 1.3250 friday high capping above. RSI(14) is flat near 51 and ATR is about 4.6 pips in thin Asia trade, extending the steady NY leg off Friday's 1.3206 low, which also shrugged off the Michigan miss.

Support: 1.3235, 1.3230, 1.3220

Resistance: 1.3244, 1.3250

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above the 1.3244 ny high opens the 1.3250 friday high, the top of Friday's range
  • Loss of the 1.3230 asia pivot and the 1.3235 fri close puts the 1.3220 gap low back in play
  • A break of the higher-low trendline from the 1.3206 Friday low would undo the NY recovery leg
  • BoE Breeden at 09:30 UTC Monday, after London open, could shift GBP hike pricing and this read
