Downtrend, attempting to stabilise · RSI 48 · price 1.32335
Lower highs and lower lows, basing above the April low.
Cable extended a third straight day of losses this week, slicing below 1.3200 to a fresh April low at 1.3163 as a 13-month DXY high outweighed the hawkish BoE hold and a Retail Sales beat. Price has since stabilised, consolidating 1.3210–1.3253 along the EMA20 into the Asia session, with RSI(14) recovering toward 48 from oversold. The May trough near 1.3300 caps any bounce while the broader sequence of lower highs holds.

Downtrend, bouncing off lows · RSI 51 · price 1.32313
Lower highs and lower lows, consolidating after washout.
Cable trended hard lower through the week, breaking the 1.3340 trendline and slicing below 1.3200 into a fresh April low near 1.3163 as a hawkish Fed pushed DXY to a one-year high. Price has since pared losses to ~1.3231, reclaiming EMA(20) but still capped under EMA(50), with RSI(14) recovering back toward the midline. The 1.3253 swing high marks the immediate ceiling on this bounce while 1.3163 remains the pivot underpinning it.

Downtrend, losses paring · RSI 52 · price 1.32311
Lower highs and lower lows, bounce off 1.3163.
Cable trended lower through the week, breaking the rising trendline and printing a fresh April low near 1.3163 in the NY session as a hawkish Fed pushed the USD to a one-year high. Buyers stepped in at 1.3163 and the bounce has stabilised price into a 1.3220–1.3240 consolidation, with the recovery dragging it back above EMA(20) while EMA(50) still caps overhead. RSI(14) has cycled back to the midline as downside momentum eased.

Downtrend, bouncing off lows · RSI 47 · price 1.32186
Lower highs and lower lows, consolidating above week low.
GBPUSD extended a third straight day of losses through this week's sessions, sliding from 1.3443 to a 1.3163 low as broad USD strength after the hawkish Fed dot-plot repricing dominated. Friday's 1.2% retail-sales beat only trimmed losses; price has since bounced into 1.3232 and is now consolidating just above EMA(20) around 1.3220. RSI(14) has recovered off oversold toward the midline, but the lower-high sequence into the NY session remains intact.

Lower highs and lower lows, near-term consolidation above 1.3200.
Cable has been in a clear downtrend since Monday's open, posting a third straight down day and breaking below 1.3200 to a 1.3163 week low as the hawkish-Fed dollar bid dominated; a 1.2% retail-sales beat failed to lift price. The last few hours have steadied into a consolidation between 1.3200 and the 1.3253 session high, with price reclaiming EMA(20) near 1.3209 while EMA(50) overhead keeps the broader structure heavy. Rallies have repeatedly stalled below the 1.3300 May trough.

Downtrend, attempting to stabilise · RSI 45 · price 1.32199
Lower highs and lower lows, consolidating above week low.
GBPUSD has trended lower all week, with the dominant leg coming in the NY session as the hawkish Fed hold lifted DXY to one-year highs and dragged Sterling to a fresh April low at 1.31629. Price has since clawed back toward the 1.3200 pivot and is hovering just above a flattening EMA(20), capped by the 1.3240 swing high. RSI(14) has lifted off oversold into the mid-40s as the slide stalls into the consolidation.

Sharp impulse down, now consolidating above week low.
GBPUSD sold off hard this week, sliding from ~1.3440 to a fresh low at 1.3168 in a USD-driven move on the hawkish Fed hold — the BoE hawkish hold and the retail-sales beat barely registered. Price has since recovered to ~1.3235, reclaiming the 1.3200 psych pivot and lifting RSI back from oversold toward 50. The 1.3253 bounce high caps for now while the broader downtrend off Monday's open stays intact.

Fresh April lows, consolidating above 1.3200.
Cable extended a third straight day of losses to fresh April lows at 1.3163, a USD-led slide as hawkish Fed repricing overran a 7-2 hawkish BoE hold and a strong UK retail beat. Price has since bounced and is consolidating just above the broken 1.3200 pivot, with RSI(14) lifting off the lows. The 1.3240 session high has capped the recovery so far.

Lower highs, lower lows; reclaiming 1.3200 pivot.
Cable sold off hard through the week, breaking the 1.3200 pivot and printing fresh April lows at 1.3163 — a USD-led move as a hawkish Fed and dollar at YTD highs overwhelmed Thursday's 7-2 hawkish BoE hold and a strong UK retail beat. Price has since reclaimed 1.3200 and is recovering toward EMA20 with RSI(14) lifting back to the midline. EMA50 around 1.3270 still caps and the broader sequence of lower highs/lows is intact.

Lower highs and lower lows, recovering above 1.3200.
GBPUSD extended a third straight day of losses through the week, breaking 1.3200 in the NY session yesterday to fresh April lows near 1.3163 as a hawkish Fed kept the dollar bid. Price has since reclaimed 1.3200 with RSI(14) recovering off oversold, and now sits back above EMA(20) while remaining below EMA(50). The 1.3253 prior swing caps the rebound, with the descending lower-highs still intact.

Lower highs and lower lows; rebound from 2-month low.
Cable slid through this week from ~1.3435 to a two-month low at 1.3168 across Thursday's BoE/Fed window into Friday, as a hawkish Fed lifted the dollar to one-year highs and overwhelmed a hawkish BoE hold. Price has since bounced back above EMA(20) to 1.3233 with RSI(14) recovering off oversold; the 1.3200 psych pivot held into the rebound. Descending lower-highs still cap, with 1.3253 the first hurdle.

Cable has trended lower all week, dropping from the 1.3440 area to a fresh two-month low at 1.31629 as a hawkish-Fed-driven dollar surge overwhelmed the BoE's 7-2 hold. The slide accelerated through the NY session yesterday on the broad USD bid, with price holding well below EMA(20) and EMA(50) on every pullback. A modest bounce off 1.3163 has lifted RSI(14) back toward 41, but the structure remains a clean sequence of lower highs.

Lower highs and lower lows, fresh April-area low printed.
GBPUSD has trended lower all week, sliding from Monday's 1.3440 area to a fresh April-region swing low at 1.3163 as a hawkish-Fed dollar pushed DXY to one-year highs and overwhelmed the BoE's hawkish hold. Friday's blowout UK retail beat produced only a muted bounce back to the 1.3200 psych line, with price still pinned below EMA20 and EMA50. RSI(14) has lifted off oversold but momentum stays firmly on the sell side, with a lower high capping near 1.32527.

Cable has trended one-directionally lower from Monday's 1.3444 open, with the slide accelerating through the NY sessions after the hawkish FOMC dot plot lifted DXY to a one-year high. Price printed a fresh two-month low at 1.3163 this morning and sits pinned below a declining EMA20; each rally into the moving average has been sold. RSI(14) holds in the high-30s, low but not yet oversold, leaving room before any divergence.

GBPUSD has slid relentlessly since Monday's open, with the dominant legs printing during the NY sessions on hawkish Fed-driven USD strength after the BoE's hawkish hold failed to support sterling. Price has broken the 1.3200 psych level and is printing fresh two-month lows around 1.31680, with RSI(14) deeply oversold and both EMAs well overhead. Each pullback this week has stalled below the falling EMA20, keeping the slide intact.

The 1.3200 psych pivot broke during the NY session and price now sits at fresh two-month lows near 1.3186, holding below both EMA20 and EMA50 with RSI(14) pinned in the mid-30s.

The 1.3200 round number broke this week and price now sits below EMA20 and EMA50 at a fresh two-month low of 1.31856, RSI(14) pinned in the mid-30s.

Cable has trended lower all week, accelerating through the NY sessions after the Fed's hawkish SEP repriced the USD higher; sterling's firm jobs data and the 7-2 BoE hold offered no support. Price broke the 1.3200 handle to print a fresh two-month low at 1.31927 and is now basing just above it, holding well below EMA20 and EMA50.

The sharpest drop ripped through 1.3300 into yesterday's NY session, posting a fresh two-month low at 1.3193 before price stalled into a tight consolidation just above it.

Cable extended its slide through the week, accelerating after the Fed's hawkish SEP drove broad USD strength — the move down from 1.3400 came in two sharp legs during NY hours, breaking 1.3200 to print a fresh two-month low at 1.3193. Price sits well below EMA20 and EMA50 with RSI cycling in the 30s, and pullbacks have stalled into the 1.3250 area. The hawkish UK jobs data and BoE hold did little to support sterling, leaving USD direction in control.

GBPUSD slid to fresh two-month lows near 1.3200 after Wednesday's dovish BoE hold (7-2) collided with a hawkish FOMC, with the dominant leg lower coming through the London-NY transition that broke 1.3260. Price has since stabilised in a tight band above the 1.31927 week low, RSI(14) basing in the low 40s after pressing oversold. Both EMA(20) at ~1.3227 and EMA(50) sit overhead, capping every bounce.

GBPUSD has fallen all week from ~1.3460, with the bulk of the move accelerating through the NY session after the BoE's dovish 7-2 hold met a hawkish Fed, driving the pair to two-month lows near 1.3200. Price is now basing in a tight 1.3193–1.3210 range with RSI(14) pinned in the upper-30s, and the H1 EMA20 near 1.3245 is capping every bounce.

Price is now pinned just above the 1.3200 round number (ING's downside target) with RSI(14) recovering from oversold as the slide stalls. Both EMAs sit well overhead and have capped every bounce this week.

GBPUSD has been on the back foot all week, accelerating lower after the BoE's dovish-hold at 3.75% met a hawkish Fed, driving cable to fresh two-month lows near 1.3200. The sharp impulse through 1.3260 into the NY session left price trading well below EMA20/EMA50, and the last several Asia-session bars have stalled in a tight 1.3200-1.3205 consolidation with RSI(14) basing in the low 40s.
