Downtrend since late August, now basing · RSI 43 · price 1.32471
Lower highs and lower lows from 1.3675; three-week range 1.3180–1.3310.
Cable has printed a lower-high, lower-low sequence since the Aug 21 peak at 1.3675. It broke the 1.3475 sep pivot in mid-September and slid below a rolling-over EMA(50). Since Sep 23 price has compressed into a 1.3180–1.3310 range, with daily closes held under the ema20 near 1.3280. Oil-driven USD demand has capped rallies even as hawkish BoE pricing supports GBP on the crosses.
Support: 1.3180, 1.3140
Resistance: 1.3278, 1.3311, 1.3475
What it said to watch
- Daily close below the 1.3180 range floor ends the three-week base and exposes the june low at 1.3140
- Daily close above the 1.3311 range high puts the 50% retracement near 1.3430 and the 1.3475 sep pivot in view
- Repeated rejections at the ema20 near 1.3280 keep the lower-high sequence intact
- US CPI Wed 12:30 UTC: core m/m versus the 0.2% forecast is the likely catalyst for a range break
- UK Aug GDP Thu 06:00 UTC and Bailey Fri 02:00 UTC could shift GBP pricing around the range edges

Downtrend since late-August high, now basing · RSI 38 · price 1.32095
Lower highs compressing into a flat 1.3181–1.3200 floor.
Cable has been in a downtrend since the 21 Aug high at 1.3675. Breakdowns on 16 and 23 Sep pushed price below a now-falling EMA(50) near 1.3350, and EMA(20) near 1.3280 has capped every rebound since. For three weeks the pair has held a range between the 1.3181 range floor and 1.3311. Daily closes are holding at the 1.3200 psych level while lower highs from 29 Sep press toward the 1.3285 range top. The oil- and geopolitics-driven USD haven bid has offset near-full BoE November hike pricing, which explains the stall rather than a recovery.
Support: 1.3200, 1.3181, 1.3140
Resistance: 1.3285, 1.3350, 1.3370
What it said to watch
- Daily close below the 1.3181 range floor ends the three-week base and exposes the june low at 1.3140
- Daily close above the 1.3285 range top breaks the lower highs and opens the ema50 (~1.3350) and the 38.2% fib of the Aug–Oct decline at 1.3370
- US CPI Wed 14 Oct 12:30 UTC and UK Aug GDP Thu 15 Oct 06:00 UTC could materially shift this read
- RSI(14) near 38 with no new low since 1 Oct; a fresh low without an RSI low would point to a basing attempt
