Every read JAFX AI made on the GBP/USD daily chart that day, newest first: trend, structure, the levels it marked and what it said to watch.

21:02 UTC

Recovery within multi-month range · RSI 54 · price 1.34445

Higher low off June bottom, capped near 1.3560.

Sterling has recovered off the mid-June low near 1.3140 and now trades back above both the D1 EMA(20) and EMA(50), consistent with GBP being the week's strongest major on political-stability and gilt-yield support. The early-July surge tagged 1.3558 before rejecting, and price has since drifted back to the 1.3400 round-number area, keeping the broader 1.3140–1.3660 range intact. Momentum is mid-range with RSI near 54 — the good news looks largely priced.

Support: 1.3400, 1.3260, 1.3140

Resistance: 1.3558, 1.3660

What it said to watch

  • Daily close above 1.3558 (july high) opens the path toward the 1.3660 spring high
  • Failure to hold the 1.3400 round number reopens 1.3260 swing low
  • UK jobs (Tue) then CPI (Wed) are HIGH-impact and could materially shift this read

21:02 UTC

Recovery off June low, momentum cooling · RSI 54 · price 1.34445

Broad range 1.3140-1.3560 over four months, holding upper half.

GBPUSD has spent four months oscillating in a 1.3140-1.3560 band; the June low near 1.3140 gave way to a steady recovery, with the pair now trading in the upper half and above both EMA(20) and EMA(50). Sterling's strength this cycle reflects the political-stability bid and ~5% gilt yields flagged in the digest, driving the pair to a one-year high near 1.3480 and a spike to 1.3558 before this week's pullback stalled around 1.3444. The rally into 1.3558 was rejected and price has drifted back toward the 1.34 support with RSI cooling to mid-range.

Support: 1.3400, 1.3320, 1.3140

Resistance: 1.3558, 1.3660

What it said to watch

  • UK jobs Tue 06:00 UTC and CPI Wed 06:00 UTC are HIGH-impact and could reset this read
  • A daily close above 1.3558 opens the path back toward the April high near 1.3660
  • Failure to hold 1.34 shifts focus to the 1.3320 prior low
