Downtrend since August peak, basing in a range · RSI 44 · price 1.32695
Lower highs from 1.3675; three-week range 1.3180–1.3285 with a false break below.
The swing structure has pointed lower since the 21 Aug peak at 1.3675. The 9 Sep lower high at 1.3568 and the mid-September breakdown through 1.3400 confirmed the sequence, and price sits below a falling EMA(50). Since 23 Sep the pair has held a 1.3180–1.3285 range. Pill's dovish framing on Wednesday drove a false break to a 16-month low at 1.3137, level with the June low. Thursday's UK GDP and production beats, plus a softer USD, then lifted the close back to 1.3270, just under the range top and a flattening EMA(20).
Support: 1.3180, 1.3137
Resistance: 1.3285, 1.3400, 1.3568
What it said to watch
D1 close above the 1.3285 range top would end the three-week range and open the 1.3400 breakdown area, near the 50% retracement of the Aug–Oct decline
Rejection at the range top followed by a close back under the 1.3180 range low puts the 16m low at 1.3137 back in play; a close below it extends the lower-low chain
BoE Governor Bailey (Fri 02:00 UTC) and Fed Chair Warsh (Fri 03:30 UTC) could materially shift this read
UK labour data (Tue 20 Oct) and UK CPI (Wed 21 Oct) are the next catalysts for the range boundaries
Descending trendline from the August high, now near 1.3350, caps any recovery below the 9 Sep lower high at 1.3568
17:13 UTC
Downtrend, stalled in a multi-week range · RSI 44 · price 1.3231
Lower highs and lower lows from the 21 Aug peak; 1.3180-1.3310 range since 24 Sep.
GBPUSD has printed lower highs and lower lows since the 21 Aug peak at 1.3675. The 9 Sep lower high at 1.3568 capped the bounce, and the 16 Sep breakdown below the 1.3400 sep pivot has held price under a falling EMA(50). Since 24 Sep the pair has rotated inside a 1.3180-1.3310 range. Pill's dovish framing pushed it through the range low on 14 Oct to a 16m low at 1.3137, where it also tagged the June base. Today's rebound back inside the range came on a broad UK GDP and production beat and a softer USD, as the hot PPI print failed to lift the dollar.
Support: 1.3184, 1.3137
Resistance: 1.3311, 1.3406, 1.3568
What it said to watch
Bailey (Fri 02:00 UTC) and Fed's Warsh (Fri 03:30 UTC) could materially shift this read within the next bar
A D1 close above the 1.3311 range top breaks the range read and brings the 1.3400 sep pivot into view
A daily close back below the 1.3184 range low reopens the 1.3137 16m low; failure there extends the lower-low chain
Holding back inside the range after the 14 Oct false break keeps the multi-week range intact below the falling lower highs trendline
UK labour data (Tue 20 Oct) and UK CPI (Wed 21 Oct) are next week's scheduled risk to the structure
