Intraday downtrend, compressing near lows · RSI 46 · price 1.3215

Lower highs from 1.3256; tight 1.3210–1.3222 box in early Asia.

GBP/USD has printed lower highs since the 1.3256 London high. The NY-afternoon spike to the 1.3240 spike high met rejection and faded to a 1.3204 day low as hawkish Fed talk and the claims beat kept USD bid. Early Asia is compressing in a 1.3210 range low to 1.3222 range top box just above the 1.3200 psych handle, with ATR near 4 pips.

Support: 1.3210, 1.3204, 1.3200

Resistance: 1.3222, 1.3240, 1.3256

What it said to watch

  • M15 close below the 1.3204 day low extends the lower-low sequence and exposes the 1.3200 psych handle
  • Recovery above the 1.3222 range top, then through the falling trendline near the 1.3240 spike high, breaks the lower-high chain
  • Fed's Williams 09:15 UTC, US durables 12:30 UTC and UoM 14:00 UTC could materially shift this read

23:31 UTC

Downtrend, compressing after NY · RSI 43 · price 1.32151

Lower highs and lower lows; tight post-NY range 1.3210–1.3221.

The London high at 1.3256 faded, and hawkish Fed talk plus US data beats kept USD bid into a NY day low at 1.3204. The 16:15 UTC NY spike to 1.3240 met rejection under the London-high trendline, and price is now pinned in a 1.3210–1.3221 range as Asia opens, with ATR contracting.

Support: 1.3210, 1.32041

Resistance: 1.32222, 1.32399, 1.32557

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above the 1.3222 lower high breaks the post-NY range and puts the 1.3240 NY spike back in play
  • Failure to hold the 1.3210 range floor exposes the 1.3204 day low; a break there extends the lower-low chain
  • Close above the London-high trendline (~1.3230s) would break the lower-high sequence off 1.3256
  • Williams (09:15 UTC) and US durables/UoM on Friday could materially shift this read

23:16 UTC

Downtrend, compressing after NY low · RSI 48 · price 1.32159

Lower highs from London high; tight range above day low.

London sold off the 1.3256 session high and broke the Asian range low near 1.3223. In NY, a spike to 1.3240 met rejection and price slid to a 1.3204 day low as hawkish Fed talk and firm US data kept the USD bid. Since then GBPUSD has compressed between the 1.3210 range low and the 1.3222 range top into the Asia session. RSI(14) is flat near 48 and ATR is only about 4.5 pips.

Support: 1.3210, 1.32041

Resistance: 1.3222, 1.3240

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above the 1.3222 range top, and then the lower highs line near 1.3228, would break the lower-high sequence and bring the 1.3240 ny spike back into view
  • Failure to hold the 1.3210 range low exposes the 1.3204 day low
  • UK GfK consumer confidence at 23:01 UTC (f/c -16) could jolt the thin Asian range
  • Fed's Williams at 09:15 UTC could move USD before US durables later Friday

23:01 UTC

Downtrend, compressing near day low · RSI 48 · price 1.32157

Lower highs from London high; tight post-NY range 1.3210–1.3222.

London capped at the 1.3256 high, then broke below the Asian range low at 1.3223 as hawkish Fed speakers and US data beats kept USD bid. A 16:15 UTC spike high at 1.3240 met rejection and slid to the 1.3204 day low. Early Asia session is compressing in a 1.3210 range floor to 1.3222 range top band, price pinned at EMA20, RSI(14) neutral near 48 and ATR(14) around 4.6 pips.

Support: 1.3210, 1.32041, 1.3200

Resistance: 1.3222, 1.32399

What it said to watch

  • UK GfK Consumer Confidence at 23:01 UTC, due at the open of the next bar, could break the Asia-session compression
  • M15 close below the 1.3204 day low and the 1.3200 psych handle extends the lower-low chain
  • M15 close above the 1.3222 range top and the lower-highs trendline ends the compression; the 1.3240 spike high is the next cap, near the 38.2% of the London high–day low fib
  • Fed's Williams at 09:15 UTC Friday is the next USD-side risk for this read

22:46 UTC

Downtrend, stalled into late-session consolidation · RSI 55 · price 1.32161

Lower highs from London high; tight 1.3210–1.3222 range after NY low.

GBP/USD has printed lower highs since the 1.3256 london high. The NY spike high at 1.3240 met rejection and gave way to a day low at 1.3204 as hawkish Fed talk and US claims beats kept USD bid. Since then price has sat in a 1.3210–1.3222 range after the NY close, with ATR shrinking to ~5 pips.

Support: 1.3210, 1.32041

Resistance: 1.3222, 1.3240, 1.32557

What it said to watch

  • Close above the 1.3222 range top puts the 1.3240 spike high and the descending trendline back in focus
  • GfK Consumer Confidence at 23:01 UTC could jolt the thin after-hours range
  • Fed's Williams Fri 09:15 UTC is the next USD risk event

Lower highs from 1.3256 day high; tight 1.3210–1.3222 range since 18:00 UTC.

Lower highs ran from the 1.32557 London day high to the 1.32399 NY spike high. The NY session then set a session low at 1.32041, below the 1.3209 June low, as hawkish Fed talk and US data beats kept USD bid. Since 18:00 UTC price has compressed into a ~12-pip range between the 1.3210 range low and the 1.3222 range high into the Asia handover, with RSI(14) neutral near 45 and price sitting on EMA20.

Support: 1.32101, 1.32041, 1.3200

Resistance: 1.32222, 1.32399, 1.32557

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above the 1.3222 range high breaks the post-NY consolidation; the lower-high line and the 50% fib of the day high–session low move converge near 1.3230
  • Failure to hold the 1.3210 range low exposes the 1.32041 session low and the 1.3200 round number
  • Spike high at 1.32399 and the 1.32557 day high cap today's lower-high sequence; a reclaim of either changes the downtrend read
  • UK GfK Consumer Confidence at 23:01 UTC (f/c -16) lands in thin Asia liquidity and is the only near-term GBP print

22:01 UTC

Downtrend, momentum flattening · RSI 43 · price 1.32133

Lower lows from London high; tight post-NY range.

London faded from the 1.32557 session high into a lower-low chain as hawkish Fed talk and US claims beats kept USD bid. The NY spike high at 1.32399 was rejected, and a 1.32041 session low printed near 18:00 UTC. Since the NY close, price has been compressing between the 1.3210 swing lows and a 1.3221 range cap, with RSI(14) neutral near 43.

Support: 1.3210, 1.32041, 1.3200

Resistance: 1.3221, 1.32335, 1.32399

What it said to watch

  • M15 close below 1.32041 session low extends the lower-low sequence toward 1.3200 psych
  • Hold above 1.3221 range cap exposes the 1.32335 swing high and the falling trendline
  • Reclaim of the 1.32399 spike high breaks the London downtrend structure
  • UK GfK Consumer Confidence at 23:01 UTC could jolt the thin early Asia session

21:46 UTC

Downtrend, compressing late session · RSI 44 · price 1.32124

Lower highs and lower lows since London; tight 1.3209–1.3222 range into Asia open.

London faded the 1.3256 high through the Asian low, and NY rejected a spike high at 1.3240 before printing a session low at 1.3204, as hawkish Fed talk and US data beats kept USD bid. Price is now compressing between the ny low at 1.3209 and the range top at 1.3222 under a line of lower highs, RSI(14) neutral near 44.

Support: 1.3209, 1.3204

Resistance: 1.3222, 1.3240

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above the 1.3222 range top breaks the compression and puts the 1.3240 spike high back in play
  • Failure to hold the 1.3209 ny low and 1.3204 session low extends the lower-low chain
  • A break above the lower highs trendline would negate the intraday downtrend read
  • UK GfK Consumer Confidence at 23:01 UTC could jolt the thin Asian range

21:01 UTC

Downtrend, stalling into late NY · RSI 47 · price 1.32182

Lower highs and lower lows from the London high; tight range above the day low.

London swept the Asian range high to 1.3256, then printed a lower-high, lower-low sequence down to a 1.3204 day low during NY hours. USD stayed bid on hawkish Fed commentary and the jobless claims beat. Late NY is compressing in a 1.3211–1.3222 range around EMA20, with RSI(14) flat near 47.

Support: 1.32111, 1.32041

Resistance: 1.32222, 1.32299, 1.32399

  • UK GfK Consumer Confidence at 23:01 UTC could jolt thin Asia-session liquidity

Downtrend, drifting near lows into late NY · RSI 39 · price 1.32113

Lower lows from London high; late-NY rebound capped at 1.3222.

After the rejection at the 1.3256 London high, GBP has sold off in a lower-low sequence. The fourth-day slide came on a hawkish Fed chorus and US claims beats, and NY printed a day low at 1.3204, just under the 1.3209 June low. The late-NY bounce stalled at the 1.3222 lower high, and price is back sitting on the 1.3209 NY low with RSI(14) near 39 in thin post-NY trade.

Downtrend, pausing into late NY · RSI 41 · price 1.3220

Lower lows from London high; tight range near session low.

London's false break above the Asian range to the 1.3256 london high reversed into a chain of lower lows. The NY spike to the 1.3240 ny high faded fully as hawkish Fed talk and strong US claims kept USD bid. Price is now compressing between the ny lows near 1.3210 and a 1.3222 range cap, just above the 1.3204 session low, with RSI(14) near 41 and price hugging EMA20.

The London open swept the Asian high at 1.3250 into 1.3256, then reversed and broke the Asian low near 1.3223. Hawkish Fed talk and a firm jobless claims print extended the slide in NY. The 16:15 UTC spike high at 1.3240 was rejected, and price printed a session low at 1.3204.

Downtrend, compressing near lows · RSI 47 · price 1.32155

Lower highs from 1.3256 London high, lower lows to 1.3204 session low.

London swept the Asian range high into the 1.3256 london high and reversed, and the lower-high trendline has held since. The 16:15 UTC ny spike to 1.3240 was fully rejected, and price then set a 1.3204 session low as the 7-year auction cleared at 5.085% and the hawkish-Fed USD bid extended. Late NY hours: price is compressing near 1.3215 between the 1.3209 swing lows and a 1.3222 lower high, with RSI(14) neutral near 47.

Downtrend, grinding lower into late NY · RSI 45 · price 1.32123

Lower highs and lower lows since London high at 1.3256.

London's push above the Asian range to 1.3256 failed. Strong US claims and rising yields then drove a lower-high, lower-low chain through NY, and the 16:15 UTC spike high at 1.3240 was fully rejected before a session low at 1.3204. Late in NY hours, price is drifting near 1.3212 under the 1.3222 lower high, with RSI(14) mid-40s and ATR about 9 pips.

Lower highs from 1.3256 and lower lows to 1.3204, Asian range broken lower.

London's push above the Asian range to the 1.3256 london high failed. The range then broke lower, and NY printed a 1.3209 swing low before a 1.3204 day low, as strong US claims and a 5.085% 7-year auction kept USD bid. Late-NY bounce is stalling just under the former 1.3223 asian low, at the 50% of the 1.3240–1.3204 drop; RSI(14) near 49, price hugging EMA20.

Downtrend, lower highs intact · RSI 46 · price 1.32154

Lower highs from 1.3256 London high; fresh day low 1.3204 late NY.

London swept the Asian range high near 1.3250 to 1.3256 and was rejected. Beats in US jobless claims and hawkish Fed commentary kept pressure on through NY. The 16:15 UTC spike to 1.3240 printed a lower high and faded, a new day low at 1.3204 followed, and price now sits at 1.3215, just under the ema20 and below the prior low zone at 1.3209.

Support: 1.3209, 1.3204

Resistance: 1.3219, 1.3240, 1.3256

Downtrend, late-NY bounce off lows · RSI 52 · price 1.32202

Lower lows below the Asian range; lower-high sequence from the London high.

GBPUSD failed at the 1.3256 London high and broke the 1.3223 Asian low, grinding lower through NY as strong US claims and hawkish Fedspeak kept USD bid. The 16:15 UTC spike to 1.3240 met rejection and was fully retraced to a new session low at 1.3204, below the 1.3209 swing low. Price is now bouncing after London close near the 50% spike retrace at 1.3220, with RSI(14) neutral around 52 and price sitting just under EMA20.

London faded from the 1.3256 London high through the 1.3223 Asian low, and NY extended the slide on the US claims beat and hawkish Fed repricing. The NY spike high at 1.3240 was rejected under the descending trendline, and late NY swept the 1.3209 lows to a 1.3204 session low before closing back near 1.3217. RSI(14) sits in the high 40s and ATR(14) is about 9.5 pips.

Lower highs from London high 1.3256; base at 1.3209–1.3210 tested twice.

London faded from the 1.3256 London high. The 16:00 UTC NY spike to 1.3240 stalled at the 61.8% of that drop and extended the lower highs, with price back on the 1.3209 session low late in NY as strong US claims and higher yields keep USD bid.

Lower-high/lower-low chain from London high; late-NY spike fully faded.

Selling from the 1.3256 London high and firm US claims data drove the slide to a 1.3209 session low, with highs capped by a descending trendline. The late-NY spike to 1.3240 stalled at the 61.8% fib and has fully retraced, putting price back below the 1.3223 Asian low and pressing the session low.

Lower highs from London high, fresh session low at 1.3209.

Lower highs have capped every bounce since the 1.3256 london high, and NY hours printed a session low at 1.3209 as firm US claims and higher yields extended the slide. A late spike to 1.3240 met rejection and was faded back to the 61.8% of that spike near 1.3221, with price under EMA20.

Resistance: 1.32335, 1.32399, 1.32557

Lower highs from London high broken by 16:15 UTC spike, now retracing.

London open pushed above the Asian range to the london high at 1.32557, then reversed. NY extended the fourth-day slide to a day low of 1.32093 after strong US claims and home sales, before a 16:15 UTC spike to 1.32399 broke the descending line from the London high. Late NY, after London close, price is fading into the 38.2% spike retrace near 1.3228, above ema20 at 1.3224 and sitting on EMA50, with RSI(14) at 54.

Support: 1.3224, 1.32093

Resistance: 1.32399, 1.32557

What it said to watch

  • Holding ema20 at 1.3224 and the 50% spike retrace at 1.3225 keeps the break of the descending line intact
  • M15 close back below the 1.32093 day low resumes the lower-low sequence

Intraday downtrend, corrective bounce fading · RSI 53 · price 1.32286

Lower highs from 1.3256 London high, triple test of 1.3209 session low, spike bounce capped at 1.3240.

London pushed through the 1.3245 Asian high to 1.3256. US data beats in claims and new home sales then drove a lower-high slide to three tests of the 1.3209 session low during NY. A 23-pip spike at 16:15 UTC cleared the lower-high line but met rejection at the 1.3240 bounce high, just above the 61.8% fib. Price is now easing into the 38.2% fib at 1.3227, sitting on the EMA50, with RSI(14) near 53.

Support: 1.3227, 1.3215, 1.3209

Resistance: 1.3240, 1.3245, 1.3256

  • Holding the 38.2% fib keeps the bounce intact after London close
  • UK GfK Consumer Confidence at 23:01 UTC could jolt thin Asia-session liquidity

London lower-high chain broken by a 16:15 UTC spike; price back inside the Asian range.

London sold off from the 1.3256 london high through the Asian low at 1.3223 to a 1.3209 session low, extending the USD bid after firm claims and new home sales. A 16:15 UTC spike broke the London downtrend line and tagged 1.3240, a spike high near the 61.8% fib, where it met rejection. Price is now back inside the Asian range, holding near the 50% retracement.

Support: 1.3223, 1.3209

Resistance: 1.3240, 1.3250, 1.3256

What it said to watch

Lower-high chain from 1.3256 broken; triple low at 1.3209.

London open probed the 1.3256 day high and was rejected. Price then bled to a 1.3209 session low as USD stayed bid on the claims and new home sales beats. After London close, the three-touch base at 1.3209 gave way to a 25-pip spike through the lower-high line and the 1.3233 lower high, reclaiming the 1.3225 July low; the 1.3240 spike high stalled at the 61.8% of the London sell-off, with RSI(14) near 59 and ATR around 9 pips.

Downtrend, momentum fading into late NY · RSI 44 · price 1.32206

Lower highs from London peak; three-touch base at 1.3209.

Rejection at the 1.3256 session high early in London started a slide through the 1.3223 asian low. The move extended to 1.3209 in NY hours as US claims and new home sales beat and kept the USD bid. Late NY shows a small base after three tests of the 1.3209 session low; price is now pressing the descending trendline and the broken asian low from below, with RSI(14) near 44.

Downtrend, compressing near session low · RSI 41 · price 1.32132

Lower highs and lower lows since London false break.

London's false break above the Asian high to 1.3256 reversed into a lower-highs sequence. Firm US claims and new home sales then extended the slide to a 1.3209 session low, below the early-July area near 1.3225. After London close, price is compressing between 1.3209 and the 1.3220 lower high, with RSI(14) near 41.

Lower highs from London high, Asian range broken lower, compressing above session low.

London open spiked to the 1.3256 london high and faded, breaking the Asian low at 1.3223 (near early-July lows) as USD extended on sub-200K claims and firm home sales. The decline since then has printed lower highs, with NY capped at 1.3234 and a fresh session low at 1.3209; price is compressing just above it with RSI(14) near 41, not stretched.

London open spiked to a 1.3256 London high above the Asian range, then sold off through the Asian low at 1.3223 (July low area) as USD extended on sub-200K claims. NY has printed lower highs under a descending trendline, with the 1.3210 session low tested twice; RSI(14) mid-40s, ATR ~9 pips.

Lower highs and lower lows since the 1.32557 London high; price holding below the Asian range low.

London briefly broke above the Asian range to 1.32557, then fully reversed. NY extended the slide through the 1.32227 Asian low and the July-low area to a 1.32096 session low, after US jobless claims beat and firm yields kept USD bid. A trendline of lower highs from the London top is still capping each bounce, and RSI(14) near 41 is soft but not oversold.

Lower highs since London open; midday 1.3215 floor broken.

London's push above the Asian high failed at 1.3256. GBPUSD has since carved a lower-high chain through the Asian low at 1.3223, and in NY hours it broke the 1.3215 broken floor after firm US claims and new home sales. It now sits at a 1.3210 session low with RSI(14) near 34 and ATR around 8 pips.

GBPUSD failed at the 1.3256 London high and broke below the 1.3223 Asian low, printing lower highs as US yields and upbeat US claims kept the dollar bid. The NY high at 1.3234 capped the post-data bounce, and price is now pressing the 1.3214-1.3216 floor with a fresh session low at 1.3213. RSI(14) near 38 is soft but not stretched.

The session low at 1.3215 has held three tests, including the dip on the US claims beat. The 12:45 bar has lifted price back into the Asian range and above the London downtrend line to the 1.3232 swing high, which sits at the 38.2% retrace.

London pushed above the 1.3250 Asian high to a 1.3256 London high but failed there. It then sold through the 1.3223 Asian low to a 1.3214 session low, extending the post-PMI USD bid. Price has bounced to the 38.2% retracement near 1.3230, still below EMA20/50, with RSI(14) near 40.

Downtrend, lower highs through London · RSI 36 · price 1.32243

False break above Asian high, then break below Asian low; bounce capped at 38.2%.

London poked above the asian high to a 1.3256 london high, then sold off in a lower-high sequence through the asian low to a 1.3214 session low. The pullback stalled just under the 38.2% fib near 1.3230, and price is now back at the asian low around 1.3223. The move extends yesterday's slide after the US PMI beat pushed GBP to its lowest since early July.

  • M15 close back above the 38.2% fib at 1.3230 weakens the lower-high sequence; a move above the asian high at 1.3245 negates it
  • Failure to hold the asian low at 1.3223 and a break of the 1.3214 session low extends the lower-low chain toward the 1.3200 round number
  • US Initial Jobless Claims at 12:30 UTC and Fed's Hammack/Paulson at 12:50/13:00 UTC could reset the NY-open range

Downtrend, bouncing off session low · RSI 41 · price 1.3229

Lower highs from London high; brief break below Asian low reclaimed.

London pushed above the Asian range, was rejected at the 1.3256 london high, then slid through the 1.3223 asian low to a 1.3214 session low as USD held its PMI-driven bid. The break was reclaimed and price is bouncing into the 38.2% fib near 1.3230, still capped by the lower-high trendline and trading below both EMAs.

Support: 1.3223, 1.3214

  • M15 close back below the 1.3223 asian low and then the 1.3214 session low extends the lower-low sequence
  • Recovery through the lower-high trendline and the 1.3245 asian high negates the London downtrend read
  • A move toward the 1.3256 london high would retest the London rejection point
  • US Initial Jobless Claims at 12:30 UTC, then Hammack (12:50) and Paulson (13:00), could materially shift this read
  • BoE's Lombardelli at 14:00 UTC is a second event risk for GBP

Intraday downtrend, lower highs through London · RSI 40 · price 1.32224

LH/LL chain from 1.3256 London high; sweep of Asian low, weak reclaim.

An early break of the Asian high at 1.3245 was rejected at the 1.3256 London high. The pair has since printed a descending chain of lower highs, sweeping the Asian low and yesterday's 1.3223 low to a 1.3214 session low before a shallow bounce capped at 1.3229. RSI(14) near 40 is not stretched, and the dollar bid from hot US PMIs and 5% yields keeps the pair pinned near its July lows.

Downtrend, fresh session low · RSI 31 · price 1.32172

Lower highs off the London high, Asian range broken to the downside.

London faded from the london high at 1.3256 in a clean lower-high chain. It broke the asian low at 1.3223, which also marks yesterday's post-PMI low, and printed a session low at 1.3214. RSI(14) sits near 31, heavy but not yet oversold, as the USD bid from Wednesday's hot US PMIs carries into mid-London.

What it said to watch

Downtrend, pressing session lows · RSI 33 · price 1.32227

Lower highs since London open, testing prior low.

London's early push above the Asian high at 1.3250 failed at the 1.3256 session high. That false break started a lower-high sequence, and the slide extended after the 09:30 GMT BoE Breeden/Dhingra remarks. Mid-London, price is now pressing the 1.3222 prior low (Wednesday's post-PMI and Asian low) with RSI(14) near 33, not yet oversold.

Downtrend, pressing window lows · RSI 38 · price 1.32287

Lower highs from London high, testing 1.3223–1.3225 floor.

The pre-London push through the asian high at 1.3250 met rejection at the london high of 1.3256. A chain of lower highs then carried price to a 1.3225 session low around the 09:30 GMT Breeden/Dhingra window, just above the 1.3223 asian low, as USD strength after Wednesday's PMI beats keeps GBP near early-July lows. RSI(14) sits near 38, off oversold, with price below both EMAs mid-London session.

  • M15 close above the 1.3235 lower high and the lower highs trendline breaks the London drop structure; 38.2% of the london drop sits at the same area
  • Recovery above the 1.3250 asian high and 1.3256 london high would negate the intraday downtrend

Intraday downtrend, lower highs since London open · RSI 38 · price 1.32322

False break above Asian high, lower highs and lower lows toward the range floor.

The early London push through the Asian high at 1.3245 stalled at the london high of 1.3256 and fully reversed. A chain of lower highs, the latest at 1.3241, has taken price down to the 1.3228 session low, just above the 1.3223 asian low. That asian low matches the post-US PMI low from yesterday's NY session, and GBP stays heavy on the Fed–BoE growth divergence.

False break above Asian high, lower highs back toward range floor.

GBP/USD is still heavy after yesterday's US PMI beat took it to 1.3223. Early London pushed through the Asian high at 1.3245 to a london high of 1.3256, then reversed on a series of lower highs. Price now sits at 1.3230, near the 78.6% retrace of the asian low to london high leg, with the asian low at 1.3223 the next floor.

1.3223–1.3256 range; London rejection at 1.3256, back inside Asian range.

London open lifted GBP to a 1.3256 London high on Lombardelli's hawkish comments. That is a second cap near 1.3255 after the post-US PMI bounce, and price has slid back through the Asian high to 1.3234. It now sits on the 61.8% fib of the 1.3223–1.3256 leg, just above the 1.3231 swing low, with RSI(14) near 44 and no stretch.

1.3223–1.3256 range, rising lows since Asia, London false break of Asian high.

Yesterday's US PMI beat drove the pair to 1.3223, the asian low, and it has since built a tight range with rising lows through Asia. Lombardelli's comments have helped hold the lows. London open broke above the asian high at 1.3250 to a london high of 1.3256, the 50% retrace of the PMI selloff, then was rejected back to the 1.3238 london low, with RSI(14) neutral near 49.

Asian range broken higher, higher lows off 1.3223, capped at 1.3256.

London extended the pre-open push through the Asian high at 1.3244 to a session high at 1.3256. Two wick rejections there have pulled price back to 1.3246, while dips held the London low at 1.3239, the 50% fib of the rally off the 1.3223 swing low. The pair is still pinned near the lows left by Wednesday's US PMI beat, with RSI(14) neutral at 55 and a rising trendline off the swing low underneath.

Higher lows off 1.3223, early London testing Asian high.

After Wednesday's US PMI-driven slide, Asia held the 1.3223 swing low a second time, and early London is now pressing the 1.3250 Asian high. Higher lows at 1.3232 and the 1.3239 session low keep the rebound structure intact, with RSI(14) at 57 and ATR near 6 pips.

The slide driven by the hot US PMIs stalled at a 1.3223 double low, first in NY hours and again in the Asia session. Price then broke the Asian range high before London to tag the 1.3250 london high, and early London is holding the 1.3239 london low near the 38.2% of the asia-london fib, with RSI(14) near 56 and ATR around 6 pips.

Asian range 1.3223–1.3245, London open spike rejected back inside.

After yesterday's slide on the hot US services PMI, a double low at 1.3223 held through the Asia session. At the London open price spiked from the 1.3231 pre-open low through the Asian high at 1.3245 to 1.3250. That false break was rejected and price is back mid-range near the 38.2–50% fib of the Asian low to London high move, with EMAs flat overhead.

Consolidation above 1.3223 double bottom, capped at 1.3250.

GBP/USD is consolidating above a 1.3223 double bottom after yesterday's US PMI beat drove a roughly 95-pip slide from 1.3316. Asia added higher lows at 1.3224 and 1.3231, and the pre-London push through the Asian high was rejected at the 1.3250 early high. Price sits at 1.3244 on the 1.3239 retest low as London opens, with RSI(14) near 58.

GBPUSD is basing inside 1.3223–1.3254 after yesterday's slide on the US PMI beat and soft UK services print. The range low held twice through Asia, followed by a chain of rising lows. The pre-London push to a 1.3250 session high faded back inside the Asian range near the 38.2% of the PMI leg fib, with RSI(14) neutral at 55.

Ahead of London open, GBPUSD broke out of the 1.3223–1.3245 Asian range with a 19-pip bar at 06:00 UTC. It tagged 1.3250 and stalled just under yesterday's 1.3254 bounce high, the high of the rebound after the US PMI-driven selloff. The 1.3223 double low has held twice since that selloff, with Asian higher lows building beneath price.

Hot US PMIs extended the sell-off to 1.3223 during NY hours. Asia then held a tight 1.3223–1.3245 range, and the bounce stalled under the 23.6% of the sell-off fib and the 1.3254 NY high. Into London open, price sits mid-range below both EMAs, with RSI(14) near 43 and ATR around 4 pips.

GBP/USD slid about 100 pips from yesterday's 1.3322 high. The US PMI beat at 13:45 UTC accelerated the drop to 1.3223, where a twin low has since formed. Late in the Asia session price sits under the 1.3245 Asian high, which lines up with the 23.6% level of the slide fib, with an Asia higher low at 1.3233 and RSI(14) near 60 ahead of the London open.

GBP/USD shed about 100 pips from 1.3322 through London and NY as hot US PMIs lifted the dollar and the UK services PMI missed, then printed a weekly low at 1.3223 early in the Asia session. Since then the Asian range has held: the pullback to 1.3233 put in a higher low near the 50% retrace of the Asian bounce, while the Asian high at 1.3245 has capped twice. Price sits mid-range with London open about 90 minutes away.

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above the 1.3245 Asian high opens the 1.3254 bounce high from late NY
  • Failure to hold the 1.3233 higher low and the rising lows line brings the 1.3223 weekly low back into play
  • BoE's Breeden and Dhingra at 09:30 GMT; pushback on priced hikes could shift this read

Asian range 1.3223–1.3245 with higher lows under a flat range top.

GBP/USD shed ~100 pips through London and NY after the UK services PMI miss and hot US PMIs. Asia briefly slipped under the day low at 1.3223 and closed back above it in a false break. Price has since built higher lows at 1.3224 and 1.3233 and now sits at the 61.8% retrace of the ny high fib, pressing the asian high at 1.3245.

The US PMI beat drove the NY selloff to 1.3223. Asia swept that low by a pip and bounced to the 1.3245 asian high, just above the 61.8% fib of the ny swing hi–asian low leg. Price is now fading mid-range at 1.3234, pinned to EMA20 with RSI near 52, and the 1.3243 higher low sits only marginally above the asian low. London open is roughly 3h away.

Lower highs from London; Asian range 1.3223–1.3245 after swing-low sweep.

GBP/USD bled lower through London and NY after the UK services PMI miss and the US PMI beat. It bottomed near 1.3223 late NY. Asia swept that swing low by a pip and bounced to an Asian high at 1.3245, still capped by the lower highs line off the 1.3254 NY bounce high; price is idling at 1.3236 on EMA20 in late Asia, with no break in play.

After yesterday's slide from 1.3322, driven by the soft UK services PMI and then the hot US PMIs at 13:45 UTC, the Asia session held 1.3223 twice, carving a double bottom at the 12-week low. Price has broken the 1.3237 neckline and the descending trendline and is stalling at the 61.8% fib near 1.3242, just under the 1.3245 Asian high. RSI(14) is neutral near 55 and ATR is about 6 pips.

The US PMI beat drove GBPUSD through 1.3260 during NY hours and set a 1.3223 low. The rebound faded below the 1.3254 NY high. Early in the Asia session, price briefly swept that low to form a double low, but the snap-back stalled at the 1.3238 bounce high under the descending trendline and under the 1.3241 Asian high.

The drop accelerated on the hot US PMI beat at 13:45 UTC after the UK services miss, and bottomed at 1.3223 late NY before an NY bounce to 1.3254 faded. Mid-Asia session, price dipped a pip under that low at 1.32227 and reclaimed it, forming a double low. It is now back at the bounce high of 1.3235, near the 38.2% fib and just under the lower-highs line from the 1.3245 area and the 1.3241 asian high.

Lower highs and lows through London/NY, now a tight post-NY range.

GBP/USD fell steadily through London, then extended the NY selloff on the US PMI beat to a 1.32234 NY low. The rebound stalled at the 1.32542 bounce high, just under the 38.2–50% retracement.
