Uptrend stalled, ranging · RSI 52 · price 1.3386
Range-bound in upper half of 2025 advance.
Macro uptrend off the Jan 2025 low at 1.2160 remains intact but has flattened into a broad range since mid-2025, with price holding above a rising W1 EMA(50). The advance topped at the 1.3869 prior high in Q1 2026 and has since oscillated between the 1.3160 swing low and that ceiling; price currently sits mid-range near 1.3386 after recovering off recent lows. GBP's July political-relief short squeeze has stretched and stalled below the 1.3556 area, leaving the 2025 high at 1.3770 as the next major cap.
Support: 1.3160
Resistance: 1.3770, 1.3869
What it said to watch
Weekly close below 1.3160 swing low breaks the range floor and signals a lower-low
Weekly close above 1.3770 reopens the path to the 1.3869 prior high
UK jobs (Tue) and CPI (Wed) could materially shift this read
Multi-quarter uptrend intact from the January 2025 low at 1.2160 to the early-2026 cycle high at 1.3869; price has since consolidated in the 1.31-1.36 band and now sits around a flattening W1 EMA(50). The GBP political-relief short squeeze has stalled near 1.3556 and two-way trade dominates. RSI is mid-range, so no macro extreme is signalling at this scale.
Support: 1.3100
Resistance: 1.3556, 1.3770, 1.3869
What it said to watch
Weekly close below 1.3100 confirms a lower low and deeper give-back
Weekly close above 1.3556 reopens the 1.3770/1.3869 cycle high
UK jobs (Tue) and CPI (Wed) could materially shift this read
