Downtrend, lower highs since Aug 21 · RSI 30 · price 1.32842
Head and shoulders completed, July low broken to fresh 12-week lows.
GBPUSD has carved lower highs since the 1.3675 Aug 21 peak. The Sep 9 lower high at 1.3568 completed a head and shoulders, and its ~1.3470 neckline gave way on Sep 16 as the Fed hike lifted USD. Price now sits below both EMAs, with EMA(50) turning lower, and today broke the 1.3273 july low to a fresh swing low at 1.3263 after soft UK services PMI and a blowout US PMI beat. The 1.3400 post-fed cap has held every session since the hike, and RSI near 30 reflects a stretched but still-trending leg.
Support: 1.3263, 1.3140
Resistance: 1.3273, 1.3406, 1.3568
What it said to watch
Daily close back above the 1.3273 july low would mark today's break as a false break
Rejection beneath the 1.3400 post-fed cap keeps the lower-high sequence intact; the 38.2% of the aug-sep decline sits just above near 1.3420
A close above the lower highs trendline (~1.3485) and the 1.3568 lower high would invalidate the downtrend read
Sustained trade below the 1.3263 swing low exposes the 1.3140 june low
BoE Breeden/Dhingra/Lombardelli and US jobless claims on Thu could materially shift this read
The quarter-long advance topped at the 1.3675 swing high and the last three weeks have built a chain of lower highs and lower lows, with price now trading under both EMA20 (~1.3455) and a flattening-to-lower EMA50 (~1.3485). The August public borrowing miss (£18.27B vs £15.7B) alongside hawkish Fed repricing broke the 1.3400 psych cap that had held since the 16 Sep Fed hike, and the daily close at 1.3343 sits right on the 61.8% retracement of the 1.3140–1.3675 leg. RSI(14) near 31 shows the move is stretched without yet registering a D1 oversold reading, and this week's candles have narrowed just above the 1.3321 recent low.
Support: 1.3321, 1.3274, 1.3140
Resistance: 1.3400, 1.3455, 1.3675
What it said to watch
A daily close back above the 1.3400 psych cap would break the lower-high chain and put the EMA20 near 1.3455 back in play
Failure to hold the 1.3321 recent low confirms continuation toward the 1.3274 july low, with the 1.3140 swing low the next major pivot
BoE speakers Thursday and UK GDP on 30 Sep are the near-term events capable of shifting this weekly cadence
Sustained rejection at 1.3400 on a retest would reinforce the lower-high structure
