Range-bound, mid-range · RSI 53 · price 1.34518
Consolidation between 1.3300 and 1.3500 after late-March recovery.
GBPUSD has been range-bound for roughly four months, sliding from 1.37 in early February to a 1.3159 low in late March before recovering back through the 200-day near 1.3415. Price now sits mid-range around 1.3450, having reclaimed EMA20 on the recent bounce from 1.3300 but stalling below the 1.3500 monthly high that has capped each April attempt. The pound is riding USD weakness off the US-Iran de-escalation, but UK CPI Wed and the FOMC the same day are the swing factors into next week.
Support: 1.3415, 1.3300, 1.3159
Resistance: 1.3500, 1.3565
What it said to watch
- D1 close above 1.3500 monthly high opens the path toward the 1.3565 prior high
- Failure to hold 1.3415 (200-day) reopens the 1.3300 swing low
- UK CPI Wed and FOMC same day could materially shift this read

Broad range, near-term recovery · RSI 56 · price 1.34518
Multi-month range, higher low off 1.3300.
GBPUSD has churned in a roughly 1.3170–1.3636 range for the past four months, with no sustained directional break. Price bounced from the 1.3300 swing low over the last two weeks and reclaimed EMA20, riding USD weakness on US-Iran de-escalation, but still sits just under EMA50 and well below the 1.3500 monthly high. The range cap at 1.3500 and the rising lows define the structure into a pivotal week.
Support: 1.3300, 1.3174
Resistance: 1.3500, 1.3636
What it said to watch
- UK CPI Wed and FOMC Wed are the dominant catalysts and could reset this range read
- A weekly close above 1.3500 monthly high opens the path toward 1.3636 swing high
- Failure to hold 1.3300 swing low reopens the 1.3174 multi-mo low
