Downtrend, fresh two-month lows · RSI 34 · price 1.3204

Lower highs, lower lows; basing near 1.3200.

Cable has been offered all week and accelerated lower into yesterday's NY session, sliding to fresh two-month lows at 1.31927 as a dovish-read BoE outlook downgrade met a hawkish-Fed USD bid. Price sits below EMA20 and EMA50 with RSI(14) pinned in the low-30s, and the last several bars have flattened into tight consolidation right at the 1.3200 psych pivot. The session high at 1.3253 capped the only meaningful bounce.

Support: 1.3200, 1.31927

Resistance: 1.3253

What it said to watch

  • H1 close below 1.31927 confirms continuation of the lower-low sequence
  • Reclaiming 1.3253 session high is needed to ease downside pressure
  • UK Retail Sales Fri 06:00 UTC could materially shift this read

23:01 UTC

Downtrend, near session lows · RSI 39 · price 1.3204

Lower highs and lower lows, basing at range floor.

Cable has trended lower all week, with the dominant leg coming in the NY session after the BoE held at 3.75% and the market read the inflation-outlook downgrade as dovish. Price broke the 1.3200 two-month-low pivot and is now basing in a tight 1.3193–1.3210 range below both EMA(20) and EMA(50). RSI(14) sits near 39, soft but flattening as the decline stalls into the range floor.

Support: 1.3193, 1.3200

Resistance: 1.3253

What it said to watch

  • H1 close below 1.3193 confirms a fresh lower-low and extends downside
  • Reclaim of 1.3253 would ease the immediate selling pressure
  • UK Retail Sales (Fri 06:00 UTC) could materially shift this read

22:01 UTC

Downtrend, extended · RSI 38 · price 1.3204

Lower highs and lower lows since Monday.

Cable has bled lower all week from Monday's ~1.3450 open, accelerating after the BoE held at 3.75% and the inflation-outlook downgrade was read dovishly against a hawkish-Fed USD bid. The break under 1.3375 and the slide to fresh two-month lows near 1.3200 leaves price pinned below EMA20 and EMA50 with RSI hovering in oversold territory. Sellers have capped each NY-session bounce, and the 1.3193 swing low is the latest floor being tested.

Support: 1.3193, 1.3200

Resistance: 1.3253, 1.3300, 1.3375

What it said to watch

  • H1 close below 1.3193 confirms a fresh lower-low and presses the 1.3200 pivot
  • Reclaim of 1.3253 would break the week's lower-high sequence
  • UK Retail Sales (Fri 06:00 UTC) could materially shift this read

22:01 UTC

Downtrend, fresh lows · RSI 35 · price 1.3204

Lower highs, lower lows; two-month-low break.

Cable has trended lower all week, accelerating after the BoE held at 3.75% in a 7-2 vote that markets read as dovish on the inflation-outlook downgrade. The NY session yesterday drove the impulse leg from 1.3325 through the 1.3200 two-month-low pivot, with price now pinned near 1.3204 and RSI(14) tracking oversold. Price sits well below EMA20 and EMA50, and pullbacks have repeatedly stalled into the falling 20-period line.

Support: 1.3193, 1.3200

Resistance: 1.3253, 1.3300, 1.3325

What it said to watch

  • UK Retail Sales Fri 06:00 UTC (MoM f/c +0.5%) could force a repricing of this read
  • Hourly close back above 1.3253 would challenge the lower-high sequence
  • Sustained trade below 1.3193 swing low confirms continuation

21:02 UTC

Downtrend, at lows · RSI 36 · price 1.32041

Lower highs, lower lows.

GBPUSD has trended lower all week, accelerating through the NY session on Wednesday's hawkish Fed and then extending after Thursday's BoE hawkish-hold failed to lift sterling. Price sits at two-month lows near 1.3200, well below EMA20 and EMA50, with the 1.3253 swing high capping the latest bounce and the 1.3300 pivot the broader recovery line. RSI(14) is pressed near 36 as each session high prints lower.

Support: 1.3200, 1.31927

Resistance: 1.3253, 1.3300

What it said to watch

  • Sustained H1 close below 1.3200 opens further downside toward the session low at 1.31927
  • Reclaim of 1.3300 pivot would invalidate the lower-high structure
  • UK Retail Sales Fri 06:00 UTC could materially shift this read

21:02 UTC

Downtrend, fresh two-month lows · RSI 35 · price 1.32041

Lower highs, lower lows; impulsive breakdown.

GBPUSD slid into two-month lows near 1.3200, extending a one-two punch this week: soft UK CPI midweek then a hawkish Fed knocked it ~140 pips off the 1.3460 area into the NY session. The BoE's 7-2 hawkish hold and firm jobs data failed to arrest the slide, with price holding well below both EMAs and lower highs stacking. Last NY hours saw a shallow stabilisation around 1.3200 but no recovery of the broken structure.

Support: 1.31927, 1.3200, 1.3160

Resistance: 1.3253, 1.3300, 1.3340

What it said to watch

  • Sustained H1 close below 1.3200 opens further downside toward 1.3160
  • Reclaim of 1.3253 bounce high needed to ease downside pressure
  • 1.3300 pivot has capped recovery attempts
  • UK Retail Sales (Fri 06:00 UTC) could materially shift this read

20:01 UTC

Downtrend, momentum extended · RSI 32 · price 1.31969

Lower highs, lower lows; fresh two-month lows.

GBPUSD has trended one-way lower since Wednesday, with the dominant leg coming during the NY session as a softer UK CPI read met a hawkish Warsh Fed, driving a >1% drop through 1.3300 to fresh two-month lows. The 1.3260 prior low and 1.3200 psych level have both given way, leaving price pinned near 1.3197 with RSI(14) in oversold territory and trading well below EMA20/EMA50. Each bounce has stalled below the 1.3253 session high, keeping the lower-high structure intact.

Support: 1.3193, 1.3200

Resistance: 1.3253, 1.3260, 1.3347

What it said to watch

  • UK Retail Sales Fri 06:00 UTC is the near-term catalyst — a miss risks extension toward 1.3200's downside target
  • A reclaim of 1.3260 would invalidate the fresh-lows read
  • Failure to hold 1.3193 confirms continuation of the lower-low sequence

20:01 UTC

Downtrend, momentum extending · RSI 32 · price 1.31969

Successive lower highs and lower lows, fresh two-month lows.

GBPUSD has trended lower all week, accelerating into the NY session as the hawkish Fed/Warsh repricing and softer UK CPI double-teamed sterling. The pair sliced through 1.3260 to fresh two-month lows and has now closed below the 1.3200 round number, with RSI(14) pinned in the low 30s and price holding well under EMA20/EMA50. Each pullback this week has stalled at lower highs, leaving 1.3200 as the immediate area to watch overhead.

Support: 1.31927, 1.3150

Resistance: 1.3200, 1.3260

What it said to watch

  • UK Retail Sales Fri 06:00 UTC is the near-term catalyst; a miss risks extension toward the 1.3150 round number
  • Hourly close back above 1.3200 would challenge the lower-high sequence
  • Failure to hold 1.31927 confirms a fresh lower low

19:02 UTC

Downtrend, extended · RSI 31 · price 1.32032

Lower highs, fresh lows.

Cable has been in a clear downtrend since Wednesday, collapsing through 1.3300 after the hawkish Warsh-led Fed and a softer UK CPI print; price is now pinned at the 1.3200 ING target having lost the 1.3260 two-month low. Bounces this week have stalled around the 1.3253 area while RSI(14) sits oversold and price holds well below EMA20 and EMA50. The 1.3300 pivot caps any recovery attempt for now.

Support: 1.3200

Resistance: 1.3253, 1.3260, 1.3300

What it said to watch

  • An H1 close back above 1.3260 would reclaim the two-month low and ease downside pressure
  • UK Retail Sales Fri 06:00 GMT (MoM f/c 0.5%) could extend the slide below 1.3200 or spark a bounce
  • Failure to hold 1.3200 confirms continuation of the lower-low sequence

19:01 UTC

Downtrend, momentum extending · RSI 33 · price 1.32032

Lower highs and lower lows, pressing two-month low.

Cable has been in a one-way decline since the hawkish Fed triggered a collapse below the 1.3300 pivot, with the move accelerating through the NY session and into Asia toward the 1.3200 psych level. Price is trading well below EMA(20) and EMA(50) with RSI(14) pinned near oversold, and a bounce high at 1.3253 capped the latest attempt to stabilise. The 1.3200 round number is the immediate floor being tested after the session low printed 1.32017.

Support: 1.3200, 1.3201

Resistance: 1.3253, 1.3300

What it said to watch

  • UK Retail Sales Fri 06:00 GMT — a clear miss could extend the break of 1.3200
  • Loss of 1.3200 confirms continuation of the lower-low sequence
  • A close back above the 1.3300 pivot would neutralise the breakout read

18:01 UTC

Downtrend, fresh lows · RSI 34 · price 1.32075

Lower highs, lower lows.

GBPUSD has trended lower all week, accelerating Wednesday's hawkish-Fed and soft-UK-CPI break below the 1.3300 round level; Thursday's 7-2 BoE hold gave no lift. Price is pinned to fresh two-month lows near the 1.3205 week low after a clean breakdown, sitting well below EMA20 and EMA50 with RSI(14) holding in the low-30s. The prior 1.3260 two-month low now caps as resistance alongside the 1.3253 session high.

Support: 1.3205, 1.3200

Resistance: 1.3253, 1.3260, 1.3300

What it said to watch

  • UK Retail Sales Fri 06:00 UTC could materially shift this read
  • Hourly close back above 1.3260 would ease the lower-low sequence
  • Loss of the 1.3205 week low and 1.3200 psych opens the path lower

18:01 UTC

Downtrend, near week lows · RSI 35 · price 1.32075

Lower highs, lower lows; fresh week low.

GBPUSD has trended one-way lower since Wednesday's soft UK CPI and the hawkish Fed, with the BoE's in-line 7-2 hold offering no lift. Price has held below EMA(20) and EMA(50) through the entire decline, breaking the 1.3260 two-month low and printing fresh lows near 1.3205 into the close. RSI(14) sits in the lower half with no recovery cycle yet.

Support: 1.3205, 1.3200

What it said to watch

  • UK Retail Sales Fri 06:00 UTC could shift this read sharply
  • Failure to reclaim 1.3260 keeps the lower-low structure intact
  • Loss of 1.3200 psych opens the path toward the next downside objectives

17:01 UTC

Downtrend, near 2-month lows · RSI 38 · price 1.32186

Lower highs and lower lows, weak bounce.

GBPUSD has trended hard lower since Wednesday, accelerating through 1.3300 on the hawkish Fed pivot and a soft UK CPI print, with Thursday's in-line BoE hold doing nothing to revive sterling. Price prints fresh two-month lows at 1.32049 and trades below EMA20 and EMA50; the late-session bounce off the lows stalled at 1.32527 and faded back toward 1.3220. RSI(14) sits in the high-30s, reflecting persistent downside momentum rather than a stretched extreme.

Support: 1.32049, 1.3200

Resistance: 1.32527, 1.3300, 1.3337

What it said to watch

  • An hourly close below 1.3200 extends the move toward the widely-flagged ING 1.3200 zone and beyond
  • Reclaim of the 1.3300 round number would challenge the downtrend structure
  • UK Retail Sales Fri 06:00 UTC could materially shift this read

17:01 UTC

Downtrend, momentum extended · RSI 32 · price 1.32186

Successive lower lows, two-month lows.

Sterling has been sold steadily since the 1.3460 area early week, with the decisive leg lower coming through the NY session yesterday as the hawkish Fed and softer UK CPI converged — Thursday's in-line BoE hold gave no lift. Price broke 1.3300 and printed fresh two-month lows at 1.32049, now consolidating just above. RSI(14) sits oversold near 32 while price holds well below EMA20 and EMA50.

Support: 1.32049, 1.3200

Resistance: 1.32527, 1.3300, 1.33247

What it said to watch

  • UK Retail Sales Fri 06:00 UTC could materially shift this read
  • Failure to hold 1.3200 extends the lower-low sequence

16:01 UTC

Downtrend, momentum sustained · RSI 34 · price 1.32274

Lower highs and lower lows, fresh two-month lows.

Cable broke down through the 1.3300 pivot into the FOMC and extended lower to fresh two-month lows near 1.3205, with a hawkish Fed and soft UK CPI driving the USD-side strength. Price has held below EMA(20)/EMA(50) since the breakdown and every bounce has been capped by lower highs; the latest attempt rejected at the 1.3253 session high. RSI(14) sits near 34, tracking the descent without yet flagging divergence.

Support: 1.3205, 1.3200, 1.3100

Resistance: 1.3253, 1.3300, 1.3325

What it said to watch

  • Hourly close below 1.3200 psych opens the path toward ING's 1.3100 target
  • Recovery above the 1.3300 pivot would invalidate the downside continuation
  • UK Retail Sales Fri 06:00 UTC could materially shift this read

16:01 UTC

Downtrend, accelerating · RSI 38 · price 1.32274

Lower highs, fresh two-month lows.

Cable has been pinned in a clean downtrend all week, with the dominant leg coming after Wednesday's hawkish Fed drove a >1% USD rally; the 1.3300 pivot gave way and the prior two-month low at 1.3260 has flipped to resistance. The latest NY session sliced to fresh lows at 1.32049 before a shallow bounce to 1.3227, price holding well below EMA20 and EMA50 with RSI(14) hovering in the high-30s. Each rally this week has been sold into the descending lower-highs.

Support: 1.32049, 1.3200

Resistance: 1.3260, 1.3300, 1.33247

What it said to watch

Downtrend, momentum extended · RSI 35 · price 1.32364

Lower highs and lower lows, fresh two-month low.

Cable broke down through the 1.3300 pivot into the NY session after the hawkish Fed reset and soft UK CPI, accelerating to a fresh two-month low at 1.32049 before stabilising near 1.3236. Price trades well below EMA20 and EMA50 with RSI(14) hovering in oversold territory, and the bounce off 1.3205 has so far stalled under the 1.32492 session high. Each pullback this week has been sold into lower highs.

Support: 1.32049, 1.3200, 1.3100

Resistance: 1.32492, 1.32967, 1.33247

Downtrend, freshly extended · RSI 37 · price 1.32364

Lower highs, lower lows; broke 1.3300.

Cable cratered through the 1.3300 pivot into fresh two-month lows during NY hours, the leg driven by soft UK May CPI and a hawkish Warsh-led Fed that lifted the dollar broadly. Price trades well below both H1 EMAs with RSI(14) pinned in the mid-30s after a steep one-way slide from 1.3400 to 1.3205. A shallow bounce off 1.3205 has stalled below 1.3249, leaving the lower-high sequence intact.

Support: 1.3205, 1.3200

14:01 UTC

Downtrend, momentum extended · RSI 34 · price 1.32321

Lower highs and lower lows, fresh two-month low.

Cable has been on the back foot all week and accelerated lower after Wednesday's hawkish Warsh-led Fed, slicing through 1.3300 and the prior two-month low at 1.3260 into the NY session to print 1.32049. Soft UK May CPI compounded the move, and price sits well below EMA(20)/EMA(50) with RSI stretched near oversold. The late bounce to 1.32483 has stalled, leaving the 1.3260 prior-low band as overhead resistance.

Support: 1.32049, 1.3200

Resistance: 1.32483, 1.3260, 1.3300

What it said to watch

  • Hold below 1.32600 keeps the lower-high structure intact
  • H1 close back above 1.33000 pivot would unwind the breakdown read
  • Loss of 1.32049 week low opens the 1.3200 psych level
  • UK Retail Sales Fri 06:00 UTC and GfK tonight could materially shift this read

14:01 UTC

Downtrend, extended lower · RSI 33 · price 1.32321

Lower highs and lower lows, fresh week low.

Cable broke down hard through the NY session, slicing the 1.3300 pivot and the prior two-month shelf as a hawkish Warsh-led Fed and soft UK CPI weighed; price now sits at fresh week lows around 1.3232, well below EMA20 and EMA50. RSI(14) is pressed into the low 30s after the impulsive leg, and the late bounce off 1.32049 stalled at 1.32483. The 1.3300 pivot is now overhead resistance after two failed defences earlier in the week.

Support: 1.32049, 1.3200, 1.3100

Resistance: 1.32483, 1.32945, 1.3300

Downtrend, momentum accelerating · RSI 27 · price 1.32109

Lower highs and lower lows, fresh two-month lows.

Cable has sold off hard through the back end of this week, breaking the 1.3260 two-month low into fresh lows near 1.3205 as a hawkish Warsh-led Fed kept the USD bid. The decline steepened through yesterday's NY session and into today, with RSI(14) pinned in oversold territory and price trading well below EMA20 and EMA50. The 1.3260 prior low now sits overhead as resistance, with 1.3300 the broader pivot.

Support: 1.32049, 1.3100

Resistance: 1.3260, 1.3300

What it said to watch

  • Failure to hold 1.3205 opens the path toward the 1.3100 psych level

13:01 UTC

Downtrend, momentum accelerating · RSI 27 · price 1.32109

Lower highs, lower lows; fresh two-month low.

Cable broke clean below the 1.3260 two-month low through the NY session, extending a multi-day slide off the 1.3461 high and printing fresh lows near 1.3210. The leg is largely a USD story after the hawkish Fed, with the earlier UK jobs beats and in-line BoE hold failing to slow the move. RSI(14) is oversold but not yet showing divergence as price stacks lower lows.

Support: 1.32049, 1.3200, 1.3100

Resistance: 1.3260, 1.3300, 1.3396

What it said to watch

  • Sustained trade below 1.3200 puts the 1.3100 area in focus
  • UK Retail Sales Fri 06:00 UTC could materially shift this read

12:01 UTC

Downtrend, momentum strong · RSI 27 · price 1.32265

Lower highs and lower lows, fresh 2-month low.

Cable has been in a one-way slide since midweek, breaking the 1.3300 pivot and printing a fresh two-month low at 1.3221 as the hawkish Fed repricing and soft UK CPI compounded GBP selling. Today's BoE decision accelerated the move lower, with price well below EMA20/50 and RSI(14) pinned near oversold. The 1.3300 level that capped Tuesday-Wednesday action now sits overhead as resistance.

Support: 1.32208

Resistance: 1.3300, 1.3340, 1.3417

What it said to watch

  • H1 close back above 1.3300 pivot would neutralise the breakdown read
  • BoE minutes / vote split still digesting — a hawkish split could lift price toward the 200-dma ~1.3417
  • US Initial Jobless Claims at 12:30 UTC could extend or unwind the move

12:00 UTC

Downtrend, momentum strong · RSI 29 · price 1.32265

Lower highs and lower lows, fresh two-month low.

Cable broke decisively below the 1.3300 pivot into a two-month low near 1.3220, extending the slide that began after Wednesday's soft UK CPI and was compounded by Warsh's hawkish Fed debut. Price has traded under EMA20 and EMA50 all week, with RSI(14) pinned in oversold territory after the latest NY-session leg lower. A brief Asia recovery to 1.3324 was rejected and faded back through 1.3300.

Support: 1.32208, 1.3200, 1.3100

Resistance: 1.3300, 1.33247

What it said to watch

  • BoE vote split is the swing factor — a hawkish dissent could lift price back above the 1.3300 pivot
  • H1 close back above 1.3300 would neutralise the breakout read
  • Failure to hold 1.3220 opens the path toward the 1.3100 bbh target

Downtrend, accelerating lower · RSI 31 · price 1.32385

Lower highs, lower lows; fresh 2-month lows.

Cable has bled lower all week, with the decisive leg coming after yesterday's hawkish Fed and soft UK CPI; the 1.3300 figure broke decisively and price now sits at fresh 2-month lows near 1.32385. RSI(14) is pressed toward oversold and price trades well below both EMA(20) and EMA(50), with no pullback yet finding the 20-period mean. The BoE decision is the immediate binary into the next bar.

Support: 1.32335, 1.3260

Resistance: 1.3300, 1.33247

What it said to watch

  • BoE rate decision in ~12 min is the binary event for this read
  • Loss of 1.32335 opens the path toward the 1.3260 2-mo low
  • Reclaim of 1.3300 figure would ease the downside pressure

Downtrend, accelerating · RSI 24 · price 1.32385

Successive lower highs/lows, fresh 2-month lows.

Cable spent most of the week pinned near 1.3400 before a sharp two-stage slide into the NY session — first through 1.3300, then through the prior 2-month low near 1.3260 — driven by the hawkish Warsh-led Fed and softer UK CPI. Price now prints fresh lows around 1.3238 with RSI(14) deeply oversold and well below both EMAs, leaving no bounce of note yet. The 1.3300 figure that broke is the nearest reference overhead.

Support: 1.32335, 1.3200, 1.32619

Resistance: 1.32967, 1.3300, 1.33247

What it said to watch

  • Failure to hold 1.32335 opens the path toward the 1.3200 round number
  • Reclaim of the 1.3300 figure would ease the breakout's downside pressure
  • BoE decision/minutes imminent and UK Retail Sales Fri 06:00 UTC could materially shift this read

10:01 UTC

Downtrend, accelerating · RSI 31 · price 1.32423

Lower highs and lower lows, fresh week low.

Cable has unwound the early-week recovery in a steep multi-session slide, breaking below the 1.3260 two-month low into a fresh session low at 1.3241 as the post-Warsh hawkish-Fed dollar bid dominated. Price trades well below EMA20 and EMA50 with RSI(14) pressed near 31, and the 1.3300 round number now caps the tape after firmer UK jobs data failed to arrest the drop. Rallies this week have stalled under the 200-DMA at 1.3417.

Support: 1.32411, 1.3200

Resistance: 1.32619, 1.3300, 1.3417

What it said to watch

  • BoE rate decision and vote split in ~1h (11:00 UTC) is the dominant catalyst — a hawkish dissent could squeeze this move
  • Reclaim of the 1.3300 round number would ease the downside pressure
  • Failure to hold the 1.3241 session low opens the 1.3200 psych level
  • 1.32619 broken 2-month low now acts as resistance on any bounce

Lower highs and lower lows, fresh two-month low.

Sterling collapsed through 1.3300 in the prior NY session and extended the slide into early London, printing a fresh session low at 1.32411 below the 1.3260 two-month low after Warsh's hawkish Fed reset the dollar. Price sits well below EMA20/EMA50 with RSI(14) pinned in oversold territory, and each bounce has capped at progressively lower highs. The 1.32600 level that held all week has flipped to overhead resistance.

Support: 1.3200, 1.32411

Resistance: 1.3260, 1.3300

What it said to watch

  • BoE rate decision and vote split at 11:00 UTC (~1h) could materially shift this read
  • H1 close back above 1.33000 would neutralise the breakdown
  • Sustained acceptance below 1.32000 psych extends the lower-low sequence

Downtrend, post-breakdown consolidation · RSI 42 · price 1.32951

Lower highs into a sharp breakdown, now basing above the 2mo low.

Cable broke down hard mid-week, with the hawkish Warsh-led Fed driving a 1%+ slide that cracked 1.3300 and printed a two-month low at 1.3262. Price has since stabilised in a tight 1.3285–1.3325 band but sits below both EMA20 and EMA50, with RSI(14) capped near 42. The BoE decision in roughly two hours is the binary that frames the next move.

Support: 1.3285, 1.3262

Resistance: 1.3325

What it said to watch

  • BoE rate decision and vote split at 11:00 UTC (~2h) could materially shift this read
  • H1 close below 1.3262 confirms a fresh lower low
  • Reclaim of 1.3325 bounce high needed to challenge the descending lower-highs

Downtrend after sharp break · RSI 41 · price 1.32951

Broke 1.3300, consolidating above two-month low.

Cable was hammered through 1.3300 to a 1.3262 two-month low on the hawkish Warsh-led Fed, the dominant move of the week landing in one impulsive sell-off. Price has since stabilised in a tight 1.3285–1.3320 range, holding well below EMA20, with RSI(14) recovering off oversold to the low-40s. The bounce off 1.3262 has been USD profit-taking, not sterling demand.

Support: 1.32889, 1.32619

Resistance: 1.3320, 1.3370

What it said to watch

  • BoE rate decision and vote split at 11:00 UTC (~2h) is the binary risk for this read
  • Close above 1.3320 consol high opens the path back toward EMA20 near 1.3370
  • Failure to hold 1.3262 week low confirms a fresh lower-low

Downtrend, momentum stalling · RSI 43 · price 1.33115

Broke below 1.3300, consolidating low 1.330s.

GBPUSD cratered through 1.3300 during the NY session as soft UK CPI and Warsh's hawkish Fed debut hammered sterling, spiking to a 1.32619 two-month low. Price has since clawed back into the low 1.330s, holding the 1.3300 psych handle but capped well below the broken 200-DMA at 1.3417. RSI(14) is recovering off oversold while EMA20 and EMA50 cap from above.

Support: 1.3300, 1.32849, 1.32619

Resistance: 1.33247, 1.3405, 1.3417

What it said to watch

  • BoE decision, minutes & vote in ~3.5h could materially shift this read
  • Failure to hold 1.3300 reopens the 1.32849 swing low and 1.32619 week low
  • Reclaim of the 1.34050 prior pivot needed to challenge the 200-dma

Downtrend, consolidating post-drop · RSI 42 · price 1.33115

Lower highs and lower lows, breakdown holding.

GBPUSD cratered through 1.3300 to two-month lows at 1.3262 yesterday as soft UK core CPI met a hawkish Warsh-led Fed, breaking the 1.3340 support shelf. Price has since coiled in a tight 1.3285–1.3325 band just above the 1.3300 round number, holding well below EMA20 and EMA50 with RSI cycling in the low 40s. The session high at 1.3325 caps the bounce while 1.3262 marks the breakdown floor.

Support: 1.3300, 1.32619

Resistance: 1.33247, 1.3340

What it said to watch

  • BoE rate decision and vote split at 11:00 UTC (~3.5h) is the dominant near-term catalyst
  • Sustained break below 1.3262 confirms the next lower-low and opens 1.3100
  • H1 close back above 1.3340 would negate the breakdown read

Fresh lower low, consolidating below broken support.

GBPUSD collapsed roughly 140 pips into the NY session, slicing through 1.3300 to a two-month low at 1.32619 as a hawkish Warsh-led Fed hold powered a broad USD rally. Price has since clawed back above 1.3300 but stalled under the 1.33196 bounce high, with RSI lifting off oversold while well below both EMAs. The 1.34000 prior-support shelf and 200-DMA near 1.34170 now cap the structure from above.

Support: 1.32849, 1.32619

Resistance: 1.33196, 1.3400, 1.3417

07:01 UTC

Downtrend, sharp break lower · RSI 35 · price 1.33041

Range break to two-month lows, consolidating above 1.3300.

Sterling held a 1.3400–1.3460 range through Monday and Tuesday before collapsing ~140 pips into the NY session as a hawkish Warsh-led FOMC powered a broad USD rally, slicing through 1.3300 to a two-month low at 1.3262. Price has since clawed back above 1.3300 and is consolidating in a tight 1.3290–1.3320 band with RSI(14) recovering off oversold. Both EMA(20) and EMA(50) sit well above price after the drop.

  • Failure to hold 1.3300 reopens the 1.3262 session low
  • Reclaim of 1.3340 then 1.3400/200-DMA 1.3417 would cap the decline

Downtrend after sharp break lower · RSI 41 · price 1.33122

Broke weekly range, basing near lows.

Soft UK May CPI plus a hawkish-FOMC USD bid drove GBPUSD through the 1.3400 psych break in the NY session, with a single impulsive leg to a weekly low of 1.32619. Price has since stabilised and is consolidating around 1.3310, but trades well below EMA20/50 with RSI(14) recovering off oversold. The 1.33185 session high caps the bounce so far.

Support: 1.32849, 1.32619

Resistance: 1.33185, 1.3400, 1.3417

What it said to watch

  • UK jobs at 06:00 UTC then BoE decision/minutes at 11:00 UTC are the dominant catalysts for this read
  • Loss of the 1.32619 weekly low opens the path toward the 1.3100 zone

06:01 UTC

Downtrend after sharp break lower · RSI 43 · price 1.33122

Lower highs, broke weekly range floor; consolidating off the low.

Sterling was knocked off the 1.3460 week high and broke hard through the 1.3400 floor during yesterday's session, printing a weekly low at 1.32619 as soft UK CPI met USD strength after the hawkish FOMC. Price now sits below EMA20 and EMA50 with RSI recovering off oversold toward 42, basing around 1.3310. The 1.3340 session high caps the bounce; the broken 1.3400 zone and 200-dma at 1.3417 sit well overhead.

Support: 1.3300, 1.32619

Resistance: 1.3340, 1.3417

What it said to watch

05:01 UTC

Downtrend after sharp breakdown · RSI 39 · price 1.33175

Broke weekly range, consolidating near lows.

Sterling spent most of the week pinned to 1.3400 before a sharp breakdown into the NY session, sliding to a weekly low of 1.3262 as soft UK CPI met a hot US retail sales print and hawkish Fed dot plot. Price has since stabilised in a tight 1.3290-1.3320 consolidation, holding below EMA20 and EMA50 with RSI(14) recovering off oversold but stuck under 40. The 200-DMA at 1.3417 sits well above as the broader pivot.

Resistance: 1.3340, 1.3400, 1.3417

Broke below weekly range, now basing near 1.331.

GBPUSD ripped lower through the 1.3400 weekly floor and the 200-DMA at 1.3417 after soft UK May CPI met a hot US retail-sales beat, bottoming at 1.32619 before stabilising near 1.331. Price has held a tight consolidation since, with RSI(14) lifting off oversold but still sub-50 and well under EMA20/EMA50. Breakdown level at 1.3340 now caps the recovery.

Downtrend, basing after break · RSI 41 · price 1.3312

Lower high, lower low; broke below week range.

GBPUSD held a 1.3400/1.3460 range for most of the week before a sharp NY-session break Wednesday, the hawkish FOMC and hot US retail sales lifting the dollar while soft UK core CPI kept sterling offered. The slide ran to a weekly low at 1.3262 before price stabilised, now consolidating just above the 1.3300 round level with RSI(14) recovering off oversold but still sub-50. The 1.3340 breakdown level caps the bounce and the 200-DMA at 1.3417 sits well overhead.

Lower high then sharp break to weekly low, basing.

GBPUSD sold off sharply during NY hours yesterday, breaking 1.3340 and tagging a weekly low at 1.32619 after soft UK core CPI met a US retail sales beat and a hawkish Fed hold. Price has since stabilised around 1.3310, holding below EMA20 and EMA50 with RSI recovering off oversold. The recovery has so far been capped by a session high at 1.33185.

Downtrend, bouncing off lows · RSI 38 · price 1.33119

Broke weekly range, recovering from swing low.

Cable held a 1.3410–1.3460 range for most of the week before a sharp breakdown through the 200-DMA (1.3417) and weekly low, accelerating into the NY session as the hawkish FOMC hold and hot US retail sales bid the dollar; soft UK CPI had already kept the pound heavy. Price tagged 1.32619 and RSI(14) pressed into oversold before a modest recovery toward 1.3310. Price remains well below EMA20 and EMA50.

Support: 1.32619, 1.32849

Range broken to downside, recovering off 1.3262.

Cable spent Monday-Wednesday pinned in a tight 1.3410-1.3460 range before a sharp NY-session collapse through the 1.3410 weekly pivot and 200-DMA, driven by the hawkish Warsh-led Fed and a soft UK CPI print. The move ran to a fresh weekly low at 1.3262 before stabilising; price has since clawed back to 1.3312 but sits well below EMA20 and EMA50. The 1.3340 breakdown shelf now caps the recovery, with RSI(14) lifting off oversold toward the mid-30s.

Support: 1.32849, 1.32619

Resistance: 1.33185, 1.3340, 1.3417

What it said to watch

Range break lower, basing near 1.3300.

Cable spent most of the week hemmed between 1.3410 and 1.3460 before a sharp NY-session breakdown sliced through the weekly low and the 200-DMA at 1.3417, bottoming at 1.32619 as the hawkish FOMC tilt met soft UK CPI. Price has since stabilised just above the 1.3300 psych level, with the broken 1.3340 prior low now acting as overhead resistance. RSI(14) is recovering off oversold but momentum and both EMAs remain firmly bearish.

Support: 1.32619, 1.3300

Lower lows, broke weekly low.

GBPUSD broke down hard into the NY session, slicing through the 1.3410 weekly low and the 200-DMA in one impulse to 1.32619 — soft UK May CPI plus a hawkish FOMC repricing drove the move. Price is now consolidating just above 1.33000 and probing the 1.33177 session high, with RSI lifting off oversold but still sub-40. The 1.3410 weekly low and 200-DMA near 1.3417 now sit overhead as resistance.

Support: 1.32849, 1.32619

Downtrend, fresh breakdown · RSI 38 · price 1.33036

Range break to the downside, new weekly low.

Cable consolidated in a 1.3410–1.3460 band through Tuesday before breaking sharply lower late in the session, shedding roughly 150 pips to a 1.32619 low as soft UK May CPI reinforced a dovish BoE read against a firm post-FOMC dollar. Price is grinding back off the low toward 1.33036 with RSI(14) lifting from oversold; the 1.33345 breakdown shelf now caps. Prior range support around 1.3410 has flipped to overhead resistance.

Support: 1.32849, 1.32619

Resistance: 1.33345, 1.33935, 1.3410

Downtrend, fresh impulse lower · RSI 39 · price 1.33036

Range break below week's floor, new weekly low.

Cable spent most of the week boxed between 1.3410 and 1.3460, then broke hard lower late in the NY session, slicing through the 200-DMA at 1.3417 and the prior weekly low into a 1.3262 trough — the move that followed soft UK May CPI and a dovish repricing of the BoE. Price now sits well below EMA20 and EMA50 with RSI(14) bouncing off oversold near 38 in a shallow recovery. The 1.33345 breakdown level is the first overhead area to watch for retest or rejection.

Support: 1.32619, 1.32849

Resistance: 1.33345, 1.3410, 1.3417

What it said to watch

Broke this-week range, fresh lower low.

Cable spent most of the week pinned in a 1.339–1.346 range capped by the 200-DMA at 1.3417, then dropped sharply through the NY session as the soft May UK CPI miss met a hawkish FOMC dot-plot repricing. Price sliced the 1.3410 weekly low and 200-DMA in one impulse to 1.32619, and the bounce has stalled near 1.3297 with RSI(14) oversold. The prior range floor around 1.3337 now sits overhead as resistance.

Cable spent most of the week boxed between 1.3400 and 1.3460, then dumped through the floor during the NY session as soft UK CPI met a hawkish FOMC dot plot — the move sliced the 1.3410 weekly low and the 200-DMA at 1.3417 in two outsized bars. Price probed 1.3262 before a thin stabilisation near 1.3297, sitting well below EMA20/50 with RSI in the low 30s. The prior range base at 1.3410 now acts as overhead resistance.

Support: 1.32619, 1.3285
