23:02 UTC
Downtrend from mid-week peak, now consolidating · RSI 44 · price 1.3444
Lower highs since Wednesday, range 1.3427-1.3456.
Cable topped near 1.3556 on Wednesday's NY session then faded for two days as the USD drew safe-haven bids on Middle East risk, printing a week low at 1.3427. Price has since coiled in a tight 1.3427-1.3456 band below EMA(20), and the weekend gap opened softer around 1.3440. RSI(14) sits mid-40s, matching the flat-to-lower drift.
Support: 1.3427, 1.3415, 1.3400
Resistance: 1.3456, 1.3487, 1.3556
What it said to watch
UK jobs data Tue 06:00 UTC is the week's first BoE-hike test and can break this range
H1 close below 1.3427 confirms a lower-low and opens consolidation lower
Reclaim of 1.3487/1.3556 would negate the lower-high sequence
23:01 UTC
Downtrend since Tuesday's peak · RSI 43 · price 1.3444
Lower highs, testing 1.3450 pivot.
Cable rallied from Monday's 1.3342 base to a 1.3556 high mid-week before stalling and fading through the back half of the week as the USD drew safe-haven bids. Price now sits below the 1.3450 pivot with a clean sequence of lower highs off the peak; RSI(14) has cycled sub-50 and price trades below both EMA(20) and EMA(50). Recent low-volume bars around 1.3440 show consolidation near the week's lows rather than fresh direction.
Support: 1.3427, 1.3400
Resistance: 1.3455, 1.3520, 1.3556
What it said to watch
UK jobs data Tue 06:00 UTC (avg earnings f/c 3.4%, unemployment 4.9%) is the week's key BoE test
H1 close back above 1.3455 would reclaim the 1.3450 pivot and challenge the lower-high sequence
Break below 1.3427 confirms a fresh lower low into consolidation
22:02 UTC
Downtrend, pullback off week high · RSI 43 · price 1.34393
Lower highs since 1.3558, below EMA20.
Cable rallied from Monday's ~1.3346 open to a week high at 1.3558 midweek before fading through the back half of the week as the USD safe-haven bid capped it sub-1.3556. Price reopened lower after the weekend gap near 1.3439, holding below the 1.3450 pivot and EMA20 with RSI in the mid-40s. Structure is a sequence of lower highs since the peak.
Support: 1.3437, 1.3427, 1.3346
Resistance: 1.3450, 1.3480, 1.3558
What it said to watch
UK jobs data Tue 06:00 UTC is the key risk to this read
Reclaim of the 1.3450 pivot would challenge the lower-high structure
Break below the 1.3427 61.8% fib opens the path toward 1.3346
22:02 UTC
Downtrend off mid-week high · RSI 44 · price 1.34393
Lower highs, lower lows since Wednesday peak.
Cable rallied from Monday's 1.3346 open to a mid-week high near 1.3558 before rolling over for two sessions as the USD drew safe-haven bids on Middle East risk. Price has since carved lower highs, sliding to the 1.3427 swing low, and the Sunday open gapped lower to reopen sub-1.3455. RSI(14) sits in the low 40s with price trading below both EMA(20) and EMA(50).
Support: 1.3426, 1.3349
Resistance: 1.3455, 1.3482, 1.3558
What it said to watch
UK jobs data Tue 06:00 UTC is the next BoE test and could reshape this read
H1 close below 1.3426 confirms continuation of the lower-low sequence
Reclaim of 1.3455 needed to challenge the descending lower-highs line
Cable rallied from Monday's ~1.3345 open into 1.3558 by mid-week before stalling sub-1.3556 as the USD drew safe-haven bids. A two-day pullback found demand twice near 1.3426 — the 61.8% retrace of the week's impulse — and price has recovered to 1.3455 back around the EMA(20), with RSI cycling in the mid-range. Lower highs since the 1.3558 peak still cap the recovery.
Support: 1.3450, 1.3426, 1.3345
Resistance: 1.3485, 1.3520, 1.3556
What it said to watch
H1 close above 1.3520 reopens the path to the 1.3556 weekly high
Failure to hold 1.3426 confirms a lower low and exposes the 1.3345 weekly open
UK jobs data Tue 06:00 UTC could materially shift this read
Lower highs off the midweek peak, base forming above 1.3450.
Cable pushed to the week high at 1.3556 midweek before fading for two sessions as the USD drew safe-haven bids on renewed Middle East risk. Price has since based twice near 1.3427 and is holding above the 1.3450 pivot, with RSI(14) recovering back to the midline and price reclaiming EMA20 but capped under EMA50. Rebound stalling into the 1.3480 prior high keeps the lower-high structure from the peak intact.
Support: 1.3450, 1.3427
Resistance: 1.3480, 1.3556
What it said to watch
UK jobs data Tue 06:00 UTC could materially shift this read
H1 close above 1.3480 would break the lower-high sequence toward the 1.3556 week high
Loss of the 1.3450 pivot re-exposes the 1.3427 swing low
