A pullback to 1.3400 mid-week held and buyers reclaimed it, pressing price to a fresh week high at 1.3488 with RSI(14) around 62.

Higher highs, higher lows since Thursday.

GBPUSD has trended up all week, accelerating on Thursday's hawkish-tilted BoE 6-3 hold and a softer US GDP/PCE-driven dollar leg. Price pulled back into 1.3417 during NY hours before buyers reclaimed the range and pressed to a fresh week high near 1.3488, holding well above EMA20 and EMA50.

Uptrend, momentum resuming · RSI 61 · price 1.34648

Higher highs, higher lows since Monday.

GBPUSD ran from Monday's 1.3288 base to a 1.34765 week high, the bulk of the leg coming on Thursday's hawkish-tilted BoE 6-3 hold before Bailey's balanced tone capped it. Yesterday's NY pullback probed 1.3400 — the 38.2% retrace of the week's impulse — where demand stepped in and the pair bounced back toward the week high. Price holds above EMA20 and EMA50 with RSI cycling in the mid-60s on each push.

Higher highs and higher lows.

GBPUSD has trended up all week off the 1.3278 swing low, with the move accelerating on Thursday's hawkish-tilted BoE hold before Bailey's balanced press conference capped it near the 1.34765 week high. Friday's pullback to the 1.3400 pullback low held the 38.2% retrace of the impulse and buyers recovered price back above EMA20 into the NY session. Both EMAs sit below price and RSI is cycling in the mid-50s, keeping the structure intact.

GBPUSD ripped higher through Thursday's NY session on the hawkish BoE 6-3 vote and a softer USD leg after the US GDP miss, breaking from the 1.329 base to a week high at 1.34765. Since then price pulled back into the NY session, tagging 1.3400 where demand stepped in twice before the sharp recovery back toward 1.3467. Price holds above EMA20 with RSI(14) cooling from stretched levels but still north of 50.

Higher highs, higher lows.

Cable has trended up since Monday's open, accelerating through Thursday's NY session on the BoE's hawkish 6-3 hold and broad USD weakness after the US GDP miss. Price pushed to a 1.34765 week high, then pulled back to 1.34000 into Friday's session before demand stepped in and lifted it back to 1.3459. RSI(14) is cycling in the 50s and price holds above both EMA(20) and EMA(50).

15:02 UTC

Uptrend, pullback holding · RSI 51 · price 1.34591

Higher highs into 1.3476, deep pullback bought at 1.3400.

Cable ripped from the mid-1.329s on Thursday's hawkish-looking 6-3 BoE vote and suspected BoJ intervention that crushed the dollar, peaking at 1.3476 before fading through Friday. The pullback found demand at 1.3400 — the 38.2% retrace of the week's impulse and the psych level — and the last bar snapped back above the EMA20 toward 1.3459 as the USD reclaimed 100.00. RSI(14) has cycled back to neutral after dipping into the pullback low.

Support: 1.3400, 1.3448

Resistance: 1.3476, 1.3515

Uptrend, pulling back · RSI 42 · price 1.34056

Rally rolling over off week high.

Cable surged through Thursday's NY session on broad dollar weakness after soft US GDP/PCE and suspected BoJ intervention, peaking at 1.3476 before rolling over. Price has since slipped back below the H1 EMA20 with RSI(14) cooling from overbought, and now trades at the 1.3400 round number after a two-attempt rejection near the week high. Momentum has flattened as the post-BoE hawkish premium continued to drain.

Support: 1.3400, 1.3345

Resistance: 1.3435, 1.3476

What it said to watch

  • Loss of 1.3400 exposes the 1.3345 prior swing
  • Reclaim of the 1.3435 EMA20 would ease the pullback
  • US ISM Manufacturing (Mon) could reset the USD-side read

14:01 UTC

Uptrend, pulling back · RSI 42 · price 1.34056

Retrace from week high after Thursday impulse.

Cable exploded higher Thursday on the hawkish 6-3 BoE hold and a soft US GDP/PCE print, slicing from the low-1.328s to a week high at 1.34765 before rolling over through Friday's NY session. Price is now unwinding that move, trading back near the 1.3400 round number with RSI cooling below 50 and price slipping under EMA(20). The 38.2% retrace of the week's rally sits right at the 1.3400 handle — an area to watch for a hold or break.

Support: 1.3400, 1.3370, 1.3343

Resistance: 1.3424, 1.34765

What it said to watch

Uptrend, momentum cooling · RSI 44 · price 1.34207

Post-breakout pullback off week high.

Cable rallied hard through the NY session Thursday on the hawkish 6-3 BoE hold plus broad USD weakness, breaking from the low-1.330s range to a 1.3476 week high. Friday's NY hours have faded the move back below the EMA20 toward the 1.3418 session low, with RSI(14) cooling to the low-40s as USD firmed. Price still holds well above the EMA50 and the week's rally base.

Support: 1.34173, 1.3400

Resistance: 1.3450

What it said to watch

  • Hold of 1.3400 psych keeps the week's uptrend structure intact; a close below flags a lower low

  • UoM sentiment / inflation expectations at 14:00 UTC could shift the USD leg of cable

Uptrend, momentum fading · RSI 42 · price 1.34207

Pullback from week high after impulse.

GBPUSD ran from the 1.3273 base to a 1.34765 week high through Thursday's NY session, powered by broad USD weakness on the soft GDP/PCE prints and suspected BoJ intervention, layered on the hawkish BoE 6-3 split. Price has since rolled back under EMA20 into 1.3420, printing lower highs and holding above EMA50, with today's low at 1.34142 the first shelf. The 1.3450 EMA20 zone now caps, and RSI has cooled toward the low-40s as the pullback extends.

Higher highs into 1.3477, now pulling back.

GBPUSD ran from the 1.3273 week low to 1.3477 on Thursday's hawkish BoE 6-3 hold and broad USD weakness after the soft US GDP/PCE prints. Since Friday's NY session the pair has slipped back below EMA20, printing lower highs and a sharp last-hour drop into 1.3417 as the USD found a hawkish-Fed bid. RSI has cooled toward 44, unwinding the overbought stretch that accompanied the rally.

Support: 1.3400, 1.32733

Resistance: 1.3450, 1.34765

What it said to watch

12:01 UTC

Uptrend, momentum fading · RSI 44 · price 1.34166

Higher highs into Thursday, now pulling back from week high.

Cable ran up hard through Thursday's NY session on the hawkish BoE 6-3 vote and broad USD weakness, peaking near the 1.3476 week high before stalling. Price has since faded back under the H1 EMA20 around 1.3452 as a firmer dollar post-FOMC rebuilt, and is now leaning on the 1.3400 psych support with RSI cycling lower. Two rejections near the highs left a lower high into the London-NY transition.

Support: 1.3400, 1.3370

Resistance: 1.3452, 1.34765, 1.3515

What it said to watch

  • H1 close below 1.3400 psych opens the path toward 1.3370 prior break

  • US ECI / UoM data today could shift USD and this read

12:01 UTC

Uptrend, momentum cooling · RSI 49 · price 1.34419

Consolidating below week high after impulse.

Cable ripped higher through Thursday's NY session and into Friday on the hawkish BoE 6-3 hold, clearing into a 1.34765 week high before slipping back under EMA(20) as a firmer post-FOMC dollar capped the pop. RSI(14) has cooled from overbought into the high-40s as price consolidates between 1.34351 and the 1.34765 high. The broader uptrend structure off Thursday's 1.32784 low remains intact while price holds above EMA(50).

Consolidation below weekly high after impulse.

GBPUSD ripped from the low-1.33s into the NY session Thursday on the hawkish 6-3 BoE hold and broad USD weakness after soft US GDP/PCE, tagging a week high at 1.34765. Since then price has faded and gone sideways sub-1.3450 as Bailey talked down tightening and the dollar found a safe-haven bid, with RSI(14) rolling off the highs while price probes the EMA20. Demand has held the 1.3435 area on the pullback so far.

Price has since gone sideways in a 1.3440–1.3475 band as Bailey talked down the dissent and USD found a safe-haven bid, with the last several bars printing lower highs into 1.3468. RSI has cooled back toward neutral while price hovers on the EMA20, keeping the consolidation intact above the pre-rally base.

Support: 1.3440, 1.3400

Consolidation below week high after impulse.

GBPUSD ripped roughly 200 pips Thursday into the NY session on the hawkish 6-3 BoE hold, amplified by broad USD softness, tagging a week high at 1.3476. Price has since consolidated in the 1.3440-1.3470 band, slipping back under EMA(20) with RSI(14) easing into the high-40s. The Thursday impulse still sits well above EMA(50); the pullback is shallow and respecting rally structure so far.

  • H1 close below 1.3435 day low opens the path toward 1.3400 key support

Higher highs into consolidation below week high.

GBPUSD broke sharply higher into Thursday's NY session on the hawkish 6-3 BoE hold and a softer USD after weak US GDP/PCE, running from the low-1.33s to a 1.3476 week high. Price has since consolidated between the 1.3435 day low and that high, holding above the EMA20 near 1.3452 as Bailey's dovish tone faded the initial pop. RSI(14) has eased back to the mid-50s, cooling from overbought without breaking the up-structure.

Support: 1.3435, 1.3452, 1.3400

Consolidating below week high after impulse.

GBPUSD ripped through the NY session on Wednesday-Thursday, from the 1.3273 base to a 1.34765 week high, on the hawkish 6-3 BoE hold layered onto a broadly soft USD tape. Since that top price has stalled into a tight consolidation around 1.3440-1.3475, with RSI(14) cooling from overbought as the rally loses pace. The 1.34765 week high has capped the last two probes while demand keeps stepping in above 1.3440.

Consolidation below week high after breakout.

GBPUSD ripped ~190 pips through the 1.330s into 1.3476 during Thursday's NY session on the hawkish 6-3 BoE hold, though much of the leg was USD weakness on suspected JPY intervention. Price has since stalled into an overnight consolidation between 1.3440 and the 1.3476 week high, with RSy(14) unwinding from stretched levels while price holds above EMA20 and EMA50. The 1.3440 area has held repeated tests since the peak.

Resistance: 1.34765

GBPUSD ripped ~200 pips through the 1.3350 breakout into Thursday's NY session on the hawkish 6-3 BoE hold and broad USD weakness, tagging a week high at 1.34765. Since then price has drifted into a tight consolidation, carving lower highs from 1.34765 and holding a 1.3440 floor, with RSI cooling back toward the mid-50s after the impulse. Price is now hovering just under EMA20 as the rally's momentum fades.

Consolidation below week high after impulse leg.

GBPUSD tore higher through the NY session yesterday, clearing 1.3400 in a single BoE-driven impulse to a week high at 1.34758 — the hawkish 6-3 hold amplified by broad USD weakness. Price has since coiled in a 1.3440-1.3476 range with RSI cooling off from the rally, holding well above EMA(20) and EMA(50). The advance is intact but momentum has flattened as the pair digests the move just under the highs.

Consolidating below week high.

GBPUSD ripped through 1.3450 into the NY session yesterday on the hawkish 6-3 BoE hold and a broad USD leg lower tied to suspected JPY intervention, tagging a week high at 1.34765. Momentum has since cooled: price is drifting along the EMA20 near 1.3452 and holding a tight consolidation into the Asia session, with the recent 1.3440 session low keeping the floor intact. The dominant impulse still stands above the prior 1.3400 range top.

Support: 1.34401, 1.3400, 1.3374

Impulsive rally into consolidation below week high.

GBPUSD ran ~1.4% off Wednesday's 1.3280 base into the 1.3476 week high, powered by the hawkish 6-3 BoE hold and broad USD weakness after the soft US GDP/PCE and suspected JPY intervention. Price has since stalled and is drifting toward the 1.3440 session low, holding above EMA20 with RSI easing back from stretched levels. The 1.34765 high has capped the pullback consolidation at the top of the week's range.

GBPUSD ran ~150 pips off the mid-week 1.3273 base and broke through 1.3450 into yesterday's NY session on the hawkish 6-3 BoE hold, though most of the fuel was USD weakness after the soft US GDP and PCE prints. Price stalled at the 1.34765 week high and has since drifted back to 1.3445, slipping under EMA(20) while holding well above EMA(50). RSI(14) has eased from the rally highs to the mid-40s as the Asian session pares gains.

GBPUSD surged through the 1.3374 base into the NY session Thursday, spiking to a 1.3476 week high after the hawkish 6-3 BoE hold and a weaker Dollar on soft US GDP/PCE and suspected JPY intervention. Price has since drifted back below 1.3450 to consolidate around 1.3445, with RSy(14) cooling off after the impulse. The advance held well above EMA(50) all week but has slipped back to the EMA(20) as the pullback matures.

Support: 1.3442, 1.3374, 1.3350

Resistance: 1.3450, 1.3476

What it said to watch

  • H1 close below 1.3440 opens a pullback toward the 1.3374 breakout base
  • reclaim of 1.3450 puts the 1.3476 week high back in play
  • US ECI / Chicago PMI today could reshape this USD-led move

Post-breakout consolidation below week high.

GBPUSD spent the early week grinding lower toward 1.328 before the hawkish 6-3 BoE hold sparked a sharp NY-session leg up that broke through the 1.342 area and printed a week high at 1.34765. The digest flags most of the pop as USD weakness (soft US GDP/PCE and suspected JPY intervention) rather than clean GBP strength. Price has since eased back to hold the 1.345 handle, with RSI cooling from its overbought push as the impulse consolidates.

Support: 1.3420, 1.3380, 1.33527

Resistance: 1.34765

What it said to watch

  • US ECI / Chicago PMI / UoM releases today could materially shift this read
  • Failure to hold the 1.342 breakout opens the path back to the 1.338 pre-decision zone
  • H1 close above 1.34765 extends the post-BoE advance

Higher highs, pulling back from week high.

GBPUSD accelerated through the NY session after the soft US GDP/PCE prints and the hawkish 6-3 BoE hold, running from the 1.3273 Monday low to a 1.34765 week high before easing back to 1.3449. Price holds above EMA20 and EMA50 but momentum is cooling — RSI has slipped off overbought as the last few bars carve lower highs into the high. The 1.3370 prior-swing zone marks where the breakout impulse began.

Support: 1.3435, 1.3370, 1.3350

Resistance: 1.34765

What it said to watch

  • US ECI 12:30 UTC and Chicago PMI/UoM later could shift this read into month-end
  • H1 close below 1.3435 EMA20 opens a deeper pullback toward 1.3370 breakout
  • Reclaim of 1.34765 week high resumes the uptrend

Uptrend, momentum extended · RSI 61 · price 1.34516

Higher highs, near session high.

GBPUSD tore higher into the NY session yesterday, clearing 1.34216 after the hawkish 6-3 BoE hold combined with broad USD weakness on soft Q2 GDP and cooler core PCE. Price is holding well above EMA(20) and EMA(50) with RSI(14) cycling in the 55-65 band; the 1.34765 week high has capped the latest push and price has eased to 1.34516 in Asia. The breakout shelf at 1.34216 remains the pivot for the this-week advance.

Support: 1.34216, 1.3369, 1.33547

Resistance: 1.34765

What it said to watch

  • H1 close back below 1.34216 would negate the breakout and reopen 1.33690
  • Break and hold above 1.34765 opens continuation of the week's rally
  • US ECI (12:30 UTC) and UoM inflation expectations (14:00 UTC) could shift this read

Uptrend, momentum extended · RSI 61 · price 1.34598

Higher highs and higher lows since Thursday's impulse.

GBPUSD ripped out of the 1.328-1.330 range on Thursday's BoE hawkish hold and broad USD weakness (Yen intervention, soft US GDP/PCE), tagging a 1.34765 week high in the NY session. Price is now consolidating just below that high through the low-volume Asia session, holding well above EMA20 with RSI(14) cooling from overbought but still above 60. The 1.34216 breakout shelf marks the base of this week's leg.

Support: 1.34527, 1.34216, 1.3415

Resistance: 1.34765, 1.3500

What it said to watch

  • Loss of 1.34216 breakout shelf would confirm the impulse is fading
  • H1 close above 1.34765 opens the path toward the 1.35000 round number
  • US ECI (12:30 UTC) and Chicago PMI (13:45 UTC) could shift this USD-driven move

Uptrend, consolidating near highs · RSI 62 · price 1.34598

Higher highs since Thursday rally, holding below week high.

GBPUSD accelerated ~1.5% off the 1.3273 low into Thursday, tagging a 1.3476 week high after the hawkish 6-3 BoE hold combined with broad USD weakness from soft US GDP and cooler PCE. Price has stalled just under that high through the Asia session, holding above EMA20 with RSI(14) cycling in the low-60s. The 1.3430 breakout shelf is the first area of support beneath current price.

Support: 1.3430, 1.3380, 1.3350

Resistance: 1.34765

What it said to watch

  • H1 close above 1.34765 opens continuation higher
  • Failure to hold 1.3430 signals unwind toward 1.3380
  • US ECI and UoM inflation expectations (12:30/14:00 GMT) are USD-led risk that could shift this read

Uptrend, momentum cooling · RSI 64 · price 1.34604

Higher highs, consolidating below week high.

GBPUSD broke out sharply during the FOMC/BoE aftermath, running from the low-1.328s to a week high of 1.34765 as broad USD weakness (US GDP miss, soft PCE, suspected BoJ intervention) did most of the lifting alongside the hawkish 6-3 BoE hold. Price has stalled just under 1.34765 across the last several bars, with 1.3430 — the prior day cap — now acting as the first shelf beneath. RSI(14) is elevated near 64 and rolling slightly as the impulse loses steam.

Support: 1.3430, 1.3406, 1.3351

Resistance: 1.34765, 1.3500

What it said to watch

  • H1 close above 1.34765 opens the path toward the 1.3500 round number
  • Loss of 1.3430 signals the breakout leg is fading toward the week open at 1.3351
  • US ECI / UoM inflation expectations today could shift this USD-led move

Uptrend, strong momentum · RSI 71 · price 1.34684

Higher highs, range breakout.

GBPUSD spent Monday–Wednesday grinding in a 1.3273–1.3350 range before a sharp NY-session leg higher yesterday took it clear of the range and up to a 1.34765 week high, with the 6-3 hawkish BoE hold and a soft US GDP/PCE print behind the move. Price now sits above a rising EMS20 near 1.3385 with RSI(14) pushed into overbought around 71. The 1.3400 round number and the 1.3346 breakout shelf mark the levels reclaimed on the impulse.

Support: 1.3400, 1.3385, 1.3346

Resistance: 1.34765, 1.3500

What it said to watch

  • H1 rejection at the 1.34765 week high vs a close above it opening 1.3500
  • Loss of the 1.3400 round number would signal the breakout is being retraced
  • US ECI / Chicago PMI Friday could shift the USD leg of this move
