20:00 UTC
Downtrend, accelerating · RSI 26 · price 1.33362
Lower highs, fresh weekly low.
Cable collapsed through 1.3405 after the May NFP beat (172K vs 85K) flipped dollar positioning hawkish, extending a sharp drop from this week's 1.3483 peak to a fresh weekly low at 1.33336. Price trades well below EMA(20) and EMA(50) with RSI(14) pinned in oversold territory after the impulsive NY-hours selloff. The 1.3470 ceiling that capped attempts earlier this week is now distant, with 1.3300 the next psychological reference below.
Support: 1.33336, 1.3300
Resistance: 1.3405, 1.3470
What it said to watch

Downtrend, accelerating · RSI 27 · price 1.33416
Impulsive breakdown, fresh lower lows.
Cable was capped at the 1.3470-1.3483 ceiling for most of the week before the US NFP beat (172K vs 85K) ignited a sharp dollar bid into the NY session, slicing through 1.3405 and the 1.3458 support shelf in a single impulsive leg. Price is now pinned at the 1.33368 session low with RSI(14) deeply oversold near 27 and price well below both EMAs. Each post-NFP bar has printed a lower high and lower low with no pullback yet.
Support: 1.33368, 1.3300
Resistance: 1.3358, 1.3405, 1.3470
What it said to watch
Reclaim of 1.34050 would neutralise the post-NFP breakdown

18:00 UTC
Downtrend, sharp leg lower · RSI 30 · price 1.33527
Broke this-week range, fresh lower lows.
Cable spent most of the week ranging 1.3420–1.3475 before the US NFP beat (172K vs 85K) ignited a USD bid in the NY session, slicing through the 1.3470 ceiling and the 1.3420 floor in a single impulse. Price is now pressing the 1.3340 swing low with RSI(14) into oversold near 30 and trading well below EMA20 and EMA50. The drop is dollar-led, not Sterling weakness, and momentum is firmly down.
Support: 1.33405, 1.3300
Resistance: 1.34043, 1.3470
What it said to watch
Reclaim of 1.34043 would ease the breakdown pressure; 1.3470 caps any rebound
Sustained break under 1.3300 confirms continuation toward 1.2945/1.3010
BoE Bailey speech (18:00 UTC) — dovish tone could extend GBP underperformance
Cable spent most of the week boxed between 1.3420 and 1.3480, then broke hard lower into the NY session after US NFP smashed forecasts (172K vs 85K) and reasserted the dollar bid. Price sliced through 1.3390 to fresh week lows near 1.3355, with RSI(14) deeply oversold and price well below both EMAs. The 1.3470 ceiling now sits as the level momentum needs to reclaim to neutralise the bearish tilt.
Support: 1.33548, 1.3300
Resistance: 1.3390, 1.3470
What it said to watch
Failure to reclaim 1.3470 keeps momentum bearish

Downtrend resumed after range break · RSI 33 · price 1.33993
Broke below week range, new low at 1.3394.
Cable spent most of the week boxed between 1.3420 and the 1.3470 ceiling before the 12:30 GMT US payrolls beat (172K vs 85K) drove a sharp two-bar break, slicing through 1.3440 support and printing a fresh low at 1.3394. Price sits below EMA20 and EMA50 with RSI(14) flushed into the low 30s. The prior range floor near 1.3440 now caps the immediate recovery path.
Support: 1.33943, 1.3390, 1.3300
Resistance: 1.3440, 1.3470
What it said to watch
Reclaim of 1.3440 then 1.3470 would neutralise the bearish tilt
Failure to hold 1.3390 opens the path toward 1.3300
Bailey speech at 18:00 UTC could materially shift the GBP read
Cable spent most of the week boxed in a 1.3415-1.3483 range before breaking sharply lower during the NY session on the US NFP beat (172K vs 85K), shedding ~80 pips in one bar to print 1.3400. Price now sits well below both EMAs with RSI(14) pressed toward oversold, and the 1.3483 week high capped two attempts before the drop. The move resolves the week's range to the downside.
Support: 1.34006, 1.3390, 1.3300
Resistance: 1.3470, 1.3483

Range off double bottom, higher lows into ceiling.
Cable spent the week boxed between the 1.3411 double bottom and the 1.3470 ceiling, building a series of higher lows off the lows. The 172K US NFP beat failed to press Sterling lower — instead price rallied through the NY session, tagging 1.3483 before easing back below the 1.3470 ceiling. RSI(14) cycled up near 60 with price holding above EMA(20).
Support: 1.3435, 1.3411, 1.3400
Resistance: 1.3470, 1.3483
What it said to watch

12:01 UTC
Recovery, momentum building · RSI 66 · price 1.34734
Higher lows off week base, reclaiming ceiling.
Cable based twice near 1.3411 mid-week and has rallied through the NY session, reclaiming the 1.3470 ceiling after soft US data dragged the dollar lower into NFP. RSI(14) has cycled up toward 66 and price sits above both EMA20 and EMA50 for the first time this stretch. The 1.3483 week high is the immediate cap.
Support: 1.3424, 1.34113
Resistance: 1.3483, 1.3470
What it said to watch
Close above 1.3483 opens room beyond the week high

11:01 UTC
Downtrend, rebound into resistance · RSI 61 · price 1.34657
Lower highs since Tuesday, rebound testing week ceiling.
Cable carved lower highs through midweek, bottoming near the 1.3411 week low before a steady rebound off rising higher-lows lifted it back above EMA20 and into the 1.3470 week ceiling that capped two attempts earlier. RSI(14) has cycled up toward 61 on the recovery, and price now sits just under prior-high resistance at 1.3481. Soft UK prints (Halifax -0.1%, Construction PMI 38.2) underpin the bearish tilt; the move is squaring into US NFP.
Support: 1.3435, 1.3420, 1.3411
Resistance: 1.3470, 1.3481
What it said to watch
US NFP at 12:30 GMT is the dominant near-term driver for this read
Sustained close above 1.3470 week ceiling would neutralise the bearish tilt
Failure to hold the rising higher-lows / loss of 1.3411 week low confirms continuation
10:01 UTC
Range, recovering off the base · RSI 62 · price 1.3463
1.3410–1.3481 weekly range, lower highs into a 1.342 base.
Cable spent the week pinned in a 1.3410–1.3481 range after Monday's sharp drop, carving a double bottom near the 1.342 base before the current rebound to 1.3463. Price has reclaimed EMA20 with RSI(14) lifting to ~62, and is now pressing the 1.3470 ceiling that capped earlier attempts — a level the macro digest flags as the line between a bearish and neutral tilt. The recovery off the base traces roughly a three-quarter retrace of the slide from the 1.34814 week high.
Support: 1.3420, 1.3410, 1.3390
Resistance: 1.3470, 1.34814
What it said to watch
US NFP at 12:30 GMT is the dominant driver for the next bars and could break this range either way
Hourly close above 1.3470 would neutralise the bearish tilt and open the week high at 1.34814
Failure to hold the 1.342 base reopens the 1.3410 week low, then 1.3390 support

09:01 UTC
Corrective, basing after pullback · RSI 58 · price 1.34453
Range above week low, higher lows forming.
Cable turned corrective after failing above 1.3470 earlier this week, dragged by soft UK prints (Halifax, construction PMI) and a firm USD. Price has based around the 1.342 range floor and is now reclaiming EMA(20) into 1.3445 on rising lows, with RSI(14) ticking back toward the high-50s. NFP later today is the dominant risk into the close of the week.
Support: 1.3420, 1.3412, 1.3405
Resistance: 1.3470
What it said to watch
US NFP at 12:30 GMT (~3.5h) could materially shift this read

08:01 UTC
Corrective, range-bound this week · RSI 56 · price 1.34453
Ranging above week low, lower highs capping.
Cable has traded corrective and range-bound since Monday's open, sliding off the 1.3481 week high into a 1.3420-1.3440 band as soft UK data (Halifax, construction PMI) kept sterling unsupported. Demand has stepped in twice near 1.3420, and price is now ticking back above EMA(20) with RSI(14) recovering to the mid-50s into early Friday. The move is shallow with lower highs still capping rebounds.
Support: 1.3420, 1.34103
Resistance: 1.3462, 1.34814
What it said to watch
US NFP at 12:30 GMT is the main external driver and could materially shift this read

Loss of 1.3420 reopens the 1.3410 week low
BoE Bailey speech ~18:00 UTC a secondary risk
07:01 UTC
Corrective, range-bound · RSI 52 · price 1.34351
This-week range, holding above week low.
Cable has been corrective all week, fading from the 1.3481 high into the 1.3411 week low before stabilising. Price now grinds around 1.3435, just above EMA(20) but capped under EMA(50) near 1.3443, with RSI cycling around the midline — soft UK data has undercut the BoE hawkish premium while the USD stays firm into NFP. The 1.3459–1.3481 zone has contained every rally; the 1.3411–1.3420 floor has absorbed the dips.
Support: 1.3420, 1.34113
Resistance: 1.3443, 1.3459, 1.34814
What it said to watch
US NFP at 12:30 GMT could materially shift this read
BoE Bailey speech ~18:00 UTC is a known volatility risk
H1 close below 1.34113 confirms a lower-low and breaks the week's range floor
Reclaiming 1.3443/EMA50 reopens the 1.3459 prior high
Cable rolled over from Tuesday's 1.3481 high and has spent the back half of the week grinding out lower highs, with price now coiling in a tight 1.3411–1.3431 band below both EMA20 and EMA50. Soft UK data — the Halifax miss and contractionary construction PMI — kept rebounds capped while the Dollar consolidated into payrolls. RSI(14) sits mid-40s, reflecting flat, corrective momentum rather than fresh selling.
Support: 1.3417, 1.3411
Resistance: 1.3429, 1.3445, 1.3481
What it said to watch
US NFP at 12:30 GMT could materially shift this read
H1 close below 1.3411 confirms a lower low
Reclaim of 1.3429 EMA20 neutralises the corrective tilt
Cable rolled over from Wednesday's 1.3480 high and has built downside momentum below 1.3470, in line with the soft UK services and construction PMIs. Price is now pinned in a tight Asian-session range around 1.3420-1.3430, holding just above the 1.3412 swing low with RSI(14) flat in the low-40s. Both EMA(20) and EMA(50) sit overhead, capping the recovery attempts.
Support: 1.3420, 1.3412, 1.3390
Resistance: 1.3437, 1.3459, 1.3480
What it said to watch
US NFP today 12:30 GMT is the key near-term cross-driver and can break this range
H1 close below 1.3412 confirms a lower low and opens 1.3390
Reclaim of 1.3437 then 1.3459 would invalidate the lower-high sequence
GBPUSD has carved a series of lower highs since the mid-week 1.3481 peak, sliding into the NY session with price now coiling in a tight 1.3415-1.3428 band beneath both EMA20 and EMA50. Soft UK data and conflicting BoE signals have kept sterling corrective near 1.342, with RSI(14) holding mid-40s after the recent leg down. Price is pinned just under EMA20 with momentum stalling into the US payrolls print.
Support: 1.3415, 1.3406

Close below 1.3415 confirms a lower low toward 1.3406
Reclaim of 1.3459 would invalidate the lower-high sequence
GBPUSD has rolled over from Tuesday's NY-session 1.3481 high into a string of lower highs, bottoming near 1.3412 and now grinding sideways around 1.3424 below both EMA(20) and EMA(50). The corrective tone fits soft UK data — contractionary services and weak construction PMIs — set against a firmer USD that has only partly eased into payrolls. RSI(14) sits mid-40s, flattening as the range tightens above the 1.3412 floor.
Support: 1.34157, 1.34117, 1.34103

Failure to hold 1.3412 confirms continuation of the downtrend
US NFP at 12:30 UTC could materially shift this read
GBPUSD has drifted lower since Monday's 1.3459 open, with a sharp break on the soft UK construction/services PMIs dragging price off the 1.3481 week high. After failing to reclaim 1.347 mid-week, sterling has based around 1.342, holding above the 1.341 floor through a quiet Asia session. Price sits under both EMA(20) and EMA(50) with RSI(14) hovering in the low 40s.

Resistance: 1.3434, 1.3459, 1.3481

Failure to hold 1.341 confirms a lower-low and opens 1.34065 week low
H1 close back above 1.3459 invalidates the corrective read
Sterling has bled lower since Monday's open, failing above 1.3470 twice and printing a clean sequence of lower highs as soft UK services and construction PMIs weighed. Price is now grinding sideways just above the 1.3410 week low, capped by EMA(20) near 1.3440 with RSI(14) parked in the low 40s. The bounce off 1.3415 into the prior NY session faded back into the 1.3420 area, keeping the corrective tone intact.
Support: 1.3420, 1.3410, 1.3407
Resistance: 1.3440
What it said to watch

H1 close below 1.3410 confirms a lower-low and opens the 1.3407 weekly low
Reclaim of 1.3440 EMA(20) would neutralise the lower-high structure
Sterling has trended lower since failing to hold above 1.3470 mid-week, with soft UK services and construction PMIs sitting against a stretched hawkish-BoE bet. Price is now compressing just above the 1.3411 week low, capped by EMA(20) near 1.3435, with RSI(14) parked in the low 40s. The last several bars have coiled in a tight sub-15-pip range into the Asian session.
