21:02 UTC
Uptrend, accelerating · RSI 75 · price 1.35358
Range break, higher highs above 1.3445.
Cable broke out of the multi-week 1.3320-1.3445 band, clearing the 200-day EMA cap near 1.3400 and the 1.3500 pivot in a two-bar surge after soft US CPI/PPI undercut the dollar. ATR(14) is expanding as the move extends, with price closing at 1.3536 just below the 1.3558 session high. RSI is stretched into overbought after the vertical leg.
Support: 1.3500, 1.3445, 1.3400
Resistance: 1.3558, 1.3600
What it said to watch
Failure to hold 1.3500 on a retest would signal a false break back into the prior range
UK GDP Thu 06:00 GMT could materially shift this read
A sustained close above 1.3558 opens the path to the 1.3600 round number
21:02 UTC
Uptrend, fresh breakout · RSI 71 · price 1.35358
Range break above 1.3445 cap.
Cable finally cleared the 1.3320-1.3445 band and the 200-day EMA cap near 1.3400 that had rejected every push for two weeks, printing 1.3558 on a two-bar impulse. Soft US CPI/PPI undercut a stretched USD long book, driving the acceleration. ATR(14) is expanding after the compression, and price is extended well above EMA20/EMA50.
Support: 1.3445, 1.3400, 1.3320
Resistance: 1.3558
What it said to watch
A retest of 1.3445 holding as support would confirm the range break
A close back below 1.3445 would flag a false break back into the range
UK GDP Thu 06:00 GMT could materially shift this read
Cable has been carving higher lows since the early-month base near 1.3140, and the latest bar punched cleanly through the 1.3400 200-day EMA cap that had rejected every recovery for two weeks — a move fuelled by the soft US CPI/PPI prints hitting the dollar. Price now sits at 1.3497 above both EMAs with RSI elevated, breaking the 1.3320-1.3445 range decisively to the upside. 1.3445 prior high has flipped to a floor and 1.3500 is the next test.
Support: 1.3400, 1.3360, 1.3320
Resistance: 1.3445, 1.3500
What it said to watch
A close back below 1.3400 would re-establish the prior range and negate the breakout
UK GDP (Thu 06:00 GMT) could materially shift this read — a beat extends toward 1.3500, a miss pressures 1.3360
Failure to hold above 1.3445 prior high would question the follow-through
17:02 UTC
Uptrend, breaking range top · RSI 68 · price 1.34967
Higher lows since 1.3140, breakout above 1.3445 cap.
Cable pushed clear of the 1.3445 range top on the latest bar, finally breaking the 200-day EMA cap near 1.3400 that had rejected every recovery for two weeks, helped by a softer USD after downside US CPI and PPI prints. Higher-low structure since the 1.3140 low remains intact and price now sits above both EMA20 and EMA50. The 1.3500 round level is the next area to watch for rejection or continuation.
Support: 1.3400, 1.3360, 1.3320
Resistance: 1.3500, 1.3452
What it said to watch
A close back below 1.3400 would negate the breakout and revert to the 1.3320-1.3445 range read
UK GDP (Thu 06:00 GMT) and US Retail Sales (Thu 12:30 UTC) could materially shift this read
Sustained trade above 1.3452 opens the path to 1.3500
13:02 UTC
Recovery, capped near 1.3400 · RSI 58 · price 1.34126
Higher lows since 1.3140 base, ranging under 1.3445.
Higher-low structure intact since the 1.3140 base mid-window, with the recovery repeatedly stalling at the 200-day EMA cap just under 1.3400 and the 1.3445 range top. Soft back-to-back US CPI and PPI prints have kept the dollar heavy, letting cable retest the upper edge, but supply has capped every push into the 1.3400/1.3445 zone. Price sits at 1.3413, back above EMA20 and EMA50.
Support: 1.3320, 1.3210, 1.3160
Resistance: 1.3400, 1.3445

Recovery, capped under 1.3400/1.3445 · RSI 57 · price 1.34126
Higher lows within 1.3320-1.3445 range.
Higher-low structure intact since the mid-window base near 1.3140, with price grinding up into the 1.3320-1.3445 range top and now probing the 200-day EMA cap around 1.3400 after soft US CPI and PPI prints undercut the dollar. Cable has repeatedly stalled at this zone for two weeks; the current close at 1.34126 is testing it again. ATR is moderate, consistent with range conditions rather than a trending expansion.
Support: 1.3400, 1.3320
Resistance: 1.3445, 1.34515
What it said to watch

Uptrend, consolidating below cap · RSI 55 · price 1.34029
Higher lows since month-low, capped ~1.3400.
Cable has carved higher lows since the early-month 1.3141 base and reclaimed 1.3400 after the soft US CPI print, but the advance is stalling into the 1.3445 range top where price has been repeatedly rejected. ATR is holding a moderate regime and the pair is coiling in a 1.3360–1.3445 band with EMA20 and EMA50 stacked beneath. The rally lacks fresh follow-through as price sits pinned at the 1.3400 cap.
Support: 1.3360, 1.3320, 1.3141

Uptrend, capped at 1.3400 · RSI 56 · price 1.34029
Higher lows since early-month low, stalling under 200d cap.
Cable has carved higher highs and higher lows since the 1.3142 early-month low, and price now trades back above both EMAs. The advance is repeatedly rejected at the 1.3400 area — the 200-day EMA/SMA cluster flagged in the macro read — with the soft US CPI print lifting the pair but failing to force a clean break. ATR is moderate and price is consolidating in the upper third of the 1.3320–1.3445 range.
Support: 1.3360, 1.3320, 1.3142
Resistance: 1.3400, 1.3445, 1.3451

Uptrend, momentum easing near range top · RSI 55 · price 1.34046
Higher lows since mid-window base, consolidating above 200-day.
Higher-low structure intact since the mid-window base near 1.3140, with cable clearing the 200-day zone around 1.3400 after the soft US CPI print. Price is now consolidating just above that level, capped by the 1.3415 one-month high and the 1.3445 range top. ATR sits in a moderate regime, and the retest of 1.3400 is the pivot the rally is leaning on.
Support: 1.3400, 1.33574, 1.3320
Resistance: 1.3415, 1.3445, 1.34515
What it said to watch
H4 hold above 1.3400 keeps the bullish break alive; a close back below revives the 1.3320-1.3445 range
A close above 1.3445 opens the path toward the 1.3515 swing high
UK GDP Wed 06:00 UTC could materially shift this read
Cable carved a rounded base off the 1.3140 swing low and has stepped up in a higher-low sequence toward the 1.3320-1.3445 range top, now probing the 200-day near 1.3400 after the soft US CPI print cracked the cap. Price sits above both EMA20 and EMA50 with ATR(14) around 51 pips, a moderate expansion. The 1.3400-1.3445 band is the near-term battleground with buyers repeatedly defending the rising lows below.

Rejection back below the 200-day at 1.3400 revives the range read
Failure to hold 1.3320 range base breaks the higher-low structure
UK GDP Wed 06:00 UTC could materially shift this read
Higher-low structure intact since the mid-window 1.3140 low, with price recovering to challenge the 200-day cap near 1.3400 after the soft US CPI print knocked the dollar. GBPUSD is now consolidating just under 1.3400 inside UOB's flagged 1.3320-1.3445 range, and the repeated stalls into 1.34500 show supply capping the top of the move. ATR is steady rather than expanding, consistent with range-bound compression below the cap.

Uptrend, momentum slowing at cap · RSI 56 · price 1.33949
Higher lows since mid-window low, capped at 1.3400.
Higher-low structure intact since the mid-window base at 1.3142, with the recovery stalling into the 200-day SMA/psych cap around 1.3400. Soft US CPI knocked the dollar and lifted cable to a one-month high near 1.3443 before it pared back and settled into consolidation just under the cap. ATR is steady rather than expanding, and price is holding above both EMA20 and EMA50.
