23:47 UTC
Sideways, post-gap drift with no directional push · RSI 44 · price 1.33881
Thin Asia-open range inside Friday's late-session band.
Cable gapped slightly lower into the Monday Asia open, held 1.33792, then stalled at 1.33930 — the asia high sits right under Friday's 1.33978 top. Flow is thin with RSI(14) mid-40s and ATR at ~6 pips; price is pinned just below EMA20 with no structural break in either direction.
Support: 1.33792, 1.3366
Resistance: 1.3393, 1.33978
What it said to watch
A close below the 1.33792 asia low would break the consolidation and expose the 1.33660 prior swing
Acceptance above 1.33930 asia high and then the 1.33978 friday high is needed before the post-gap range is resolved higher
Liquidity stays thin until London open; ranges of this size are easily voided on the first real flow
Wed UK flash PMIs (08:30 UTC) is the week's main GBP volatility risk and would override this intraday read
Week opened with a small gap lower (1.3383 vs Friday's 1.3393 close) that was filled inside three bars, and cable has since coiled in a 15-pip band between the asia low at 1.3379 and the asia high at 1.3394. Thin Asia-session flow, ATR(14) around 5 pips, RSI(14) mid-40s — no structural development yet, with Friday's high at 1.3398 still the nearest untested cap.
Support: 1.33792, 1.3366
Resistance: 1.33937, 1.33978
What it said to watch
Close above the asia high 1.3394 puts Friday's high 1.3398 back in play
Loss of the asia low 1.3379 reopens the 1.3366 prior swing and confirms a lower low
Liquidity remains thin until London open; range edges carry less weight in this window
Cable reopened with a small weekend gap down to 1.33792, filled inside the first hour of Asia, and has since stalled in a 15-pip band under the 1.33937 session high — still capped by Friday's 1.33978 NY high after that session's rebound off the 1.33353 friday low. RSI(14) near 56 and ATR(14) around 6 pips: thin early-week liquidity, no structural development yet, price sitting on the ema20 with the ema50 at 1.33830 below.
Support: 1.33792, 1.3383, 1.33353
Resistance: 1.33937, 1.33978
What it said to watch
M15 close above 1.33978 friday high would extend Friday's NY recovery leg
Loss of the 1.33792 session low puts the ema50 at 1.33830 and then the 1.33353 friday low back in focus
Ranges are unreliable until London open; no GBP or USD data due in the next 8h (Fed's Goolsbee later Monday is the first event risk)
The Sunday reopen gapped roughly 9 pips below Friday's 1.3393 close to 1.33792, and early Asia has already filled it, with price now pinned to the 1.3394 session high and Friday's 1.33978 high plus the 1.3400 round number stacked just above. RSI(14) near 47 after Friday's late 60-pip leg up from 1.3335 — a hawkish-Fed-driven Dollar bid capped that move — and ATR is only ~6 pips in thin liquidity.
Support: 1.3387, 1.33792, 1.33662
Resistance: 1.33937, 1.33978, 1.3400
What it said to watch
Acceptance above the 1.33978 friday high would extend the recovery toward the 1.3400 round number
Loss of the 1.3387 friday base and the 1.33792 session low re-opens the 1.33662 swing low
Early-Asia liquidity is thin with no GBP or USD data due in the next few hours; London open is the first real test of this consolidation
22:32 UTC
Recovery off Friday's low, flat into the weekly open · RSI 49 · price 1.33918
Higher lows since 1.33353, capped under the 1.33978 fri high.
Thin weekly-open bars gapped down to the 1.33792 sunday low and have already reclaimed Friday's 1.33930 close, leaving price pinned just under the 1.33978 fri high with the 1.34000 round number above. RSI(14) near 49 and ATR(14) about 6 pips — Asia session prints are liquidity-driven rather than directional after the Dollar held its post-FOMC gains into the weekend.
Support: 1.33792, 1.33666, 1.33353
Resistance: 1.33978, 1.3400
What it said to watch
Loss of the 1.33792 sunday low puts the fib 50% at 1.33666 back in play
Acceptance above the 1.33978 fri high and the 1.34000 round number extends the recovery off the 1.33353 fri low
Weekly-open liquidity is thin — early Asia session bars can distort the range read
Higher lows from 1.3335; price back at pre-weekend highs.
The new week opened with a small gap lower to 1.3383, dipped to an asia low of 1.33792 and has already filled back to Friday's closing area at 1.3393 — only 5 pips under the 1.33978 friday high. Friday's second-half leg from 1.33353 remains intact with EMA20 and EMA50 below price, though ATR(14) at just 5.4 pips reflects thin early-week liquidity rather than genuine compression.
Support: 1.33792, 1.3369
Resistance: 1.33978, 1.3400
What it said to watch
M15 close above the 1.33978 friday high opens the 1.34000 round number
Loss of the 1.33792 asia low negates the gap-fill recovery and re-exposes the 1.33690 swing low
First hour of London will re-price this range — current 5.4 pip ATR understates likely session expansion
UK flash PMIs Wed 08:30 GMT is the week's main catalyst for this pair
21:47 UTC
Friday uptrend, stalled at the weekly open · RSI 42 · price 1.33826
Gap down into Friday's late NY range, only 4 bars of new-week structure.
Friday's NY session closed on its highs in a tight 1.3387–1.3398 band after a grind up from 1.3335; the new week opened with a ~10 pip gap lower to 1.3383, parking price on the 23.6% retracement of that advance and just under EMA20. Asia has so far held a 1.33792–1.33881 range with ATR(14) at ~5 pips — no structure beyond the unfilled gap.
Support: 1.33792, 1.33747
Resistance: 1.33881, 1.3393, 1.33978
What it said to watch
Reclaim of the 1.3393 gap fill re-engages the 1.33978 friday high
Loss of the 1.33792 asia low exposes the 1.33747 prior low
Thin Asia liquidity: a 5-pip ATR can expand sharply into the London session, invalidating the current range read
Hawkish-Fed tone from the FOMC hike keeps rallies capped; USD-side risk builds ahead of Fed speakers in the next sessions
21:32 UTC
Friday's NY uptrend interrupted by a weekend gap lower · RSI 41 · price 1.33816
Gap open beneath Friday's late range; thin micro-range in development.
GBPUSD opened the new week roughly 10 pips below Friday's 1.33930 close, and the first three Asia bars are holding a thin band between the 1.33792 session low and the 1.33867 session high. Friday's NY leg stalled at the 1.33978 friday high with the dollar still carrying its post-FOMC bid; RSI(14) near 41 and price back under EMA20.
Support: 1.33792, 1.3374
Resistance: 1.33867, 1.3393, 1.33978
What it said to watch
Reclaim of 1.33930 fri close fills the weekend gap and re-opens 1.33978
Loss of the 1.33792 session low extends the gap lower, with the 1.33740 friday pivot next
Thin Asia-open liquidity makes these first ranges unreliable; Fed's Goolsbee (Mon 10:30 GMT) is the first scheduled risk
HH/HL chain into 1.33978, then weekend gap below the late-Friday consolidation floor.
Friday's NY leg ran from 1.33353 to a 1.33978 friday high on the UK retail sales beat, then went flat in a 1.3387-1.3398 consolidation into the close. The Monday reopen has gapped ~9 pips lower to 1.3384, printing an open low at 1.33821 below that consolidation and below EMA20, with RSI(14) back near 43 — only two thin bars so far, so nothing is confirmed.
Support: 1.33821, 1.33674, 1.33353
Resistance: 1.3393, 1.33978, 1.3400
What it said to watch
Gap fill and acceptance above the 1.33930 friday close restores the late-Friday consolidation read; 1.33978 then 1.34000 round number cap above
Loss of the 1.33821 open low exposes the 1.33674 swing low and the ascending support drawn off Friday's 1.33353 friday low
Liquidity is thin at the Asia reopen — structure only meaningful once London volume arrives
Digest flags 1.3435 as the strong upside cap this week, UK flash PMIs Wed the main scheduled catalyst
Higher highs/higher lows off session low, now coiling under session high.
London hours sold GBPUSD to a 1.3336 session low in line with the post-FOMC Dollar bid, but the NY session reclaimed the 1.3375 prior high and ground up to 1.3398. Last ten bars are pinned in a 1.3387–1.3398 band with ATR(14) compressed near 5.5 pips and RSI(14) mid-50s — consolidation under the session high, not expansion.
Support: 1.3387, 1.3375, 1.3336
Resistance: 1.3398, 1.3400
What it said to watch
Acceptance above the 1.3398 session high exposes the 1.3400 round number
Loss of the 1.3387 micro low breaks the rising support line off the session low
A close back under 1.3375 prior high would invalidate the intraday higher-high chain
Thin late-session liquidity keeps ranges tight until Asia re-opens; UK and US flash PMIs later in the week are the next scheduled catalysts
