20:00 UTC

Recovery from weekly low, momentum stalling · RSI 55 · price 1.34614

Lower-high sequence broken, range forming.

Cable carved a double bottom near 1.3368 on Wednesday and impulsed through 1.3480 during yesterday's NY session on the Trump Hormuz blockade headlines, tagging 1.3485 before fading. Price has since rolled back to the session low at 1.3455 and is consolidating into the Friday close, holding above EMA20 with RSI midline. The week is set to finish little changed despite the volatility.

Support: 1.3455, 1.34294, 1.33683

Resistance: 1.34805, 1.35057

What it said to watch

  • An H1 close back below 1.3455 session low reopens the 1.3429 h1 swing low
  • Reclaim of 1.3480 spike high needed to retest the 1.3505 week open
  • Iran-US deal headline risk over the weekend could gap Monday's open

19:00 UTC

Downtrend, corrective bounce underway · RSI 52 · price 1.34555

Lower highs into 1.3368 low, sharp recovery off the base.

Price has sold off from Monday's 1.3509 week open down to a 1.3368 week low during the NY session yesterday, before a sharp impulse through the London-NY transition today pushed back to 1.3480. The spike high at 1.34805 was rejected and price has slipped back to session lows around 1.3455, with RSI(14) easing from 70 to mid-range. Recovery comes despite hawkish Bailey comments and Bowman flagging stalled disinflation, leaving the broader downtrend structure intact while a short-term base forms.

Support: 1.3455, 1.34112, 1.33683

Resistance: 1.34805, 1.3508, 1.3509

What it said to watch

  • H1 close above 1.34805 spike high would extend the corrective leg toward 1.3508 week open
  • Loss of 1.3455 session low reopens 1.34112 prior low
  • Iran-US headline flow remains a key tail risk for USD into the weekend

18:00 UTC

Downtrend, sharp recovery underway · RSI 62 · price 1.34675

Lower-lows since Monday, NY session reversal off 1.3408.

Price has spent the week grinding lower from 1.3509 into a 1.3368 swing low, but the NY session today produced a sharp recovery off 1.3408 with a 50-pip impulse bar reclaiming both EMAs. RSI(14) lifted from oversold into the low-60s as price tagged 1.3485 session high before a modest pullback, aided by Bailey's hawkish comments earlier in the session. The bounce off 1.3408 mirrors the 1.3368 low, forming a tentative double bottom on the week's range floor.

Support: 1.34294, 1.34083, 1.33683

Resistance: 1.34851, 1.3509, 1.35078

What it said to watch

  • H1 close back below 1.3408 negates the double bottom read
  • Reclaim of 1.3509 week open would unwind the week's downtrend
  • Headlines around US-Iran negotiations remain a tape risk into the weekend

17:00 UTC

Downtrend recovering, sharp reversal in NY · RSI 67 · price 1.34754

Lower-highs broken by impulsive NY rally off 1.3408.

Price spent most of the week grinding lower from 1.3507 into a 1.3368 week low set during Wednesday's NY session, before basing around 1.3410 and ripping higher in today's NY hours on the Trump blockade-lift headline. The impulsive move through 1.3450 reclaimed both EMAs and printed a session high at 1.3485, with RSI(14) pushing to 67 after a clean bullish divergence at the lows. Structure has shifted from lower-highs to a fresh higher-low base, though price is now stalling just under the week high.

Support: 1.3447, 1.3408, 1.3368

Resistance: 1.3485, 1.3507

What it said to watch

  • H1 close back below the ema20 around 1.3447 would neutralise the NY reversal
  • Break and hold above the 1.3485 session high opens room toward the 1.3507 week high
  • Ongoing Iran/US headline flow remains the dominant driver and can reprice the read on any single bar

16:00 UTC

Downtrend, bouncing from week low · RSI 68 · price 1.3481

Lower highs into 1.3368 sweep, sharp recovery underway.

Price has trended lower since Monday's open near 1.3508, carving lower highs through the London and NY sessions before sweeping the week low at 1.3368 during Thursday's NY hours. The current NY session has delivered a sharp recovery off 1.3408, reclaiming both EMA(20) and EMA(50) and pushing RSI(14) to 68 — a bullish divergence prints against the lower price low. Bailey's hawkish tone earlier today is the catalyst cited for GBP support into the close.

Support: 1.3438, 1.3368, 1.3408

Resistance: 1.3481, 1.3508, 1.3458

What it said to watch

  • H1 close back below EMA(50) near 1.3458 reopens the 1.3408 intraday low
  • Acceptance above 1.3481 session high exposes the 1.3508 weekly open
  • Failure to hold 1.3438 prior pivot reinstates the lower-high sequence
  • Iran/Trump headline risk over weekend gap could override structure

15:00 UTC

Downtrend, attempting base · RSI 47 · price 1.34394

Lower highs into 1.3400 support sweep, basing.

GBPUSD has trended lower since Monday's 1.3509 week open, with successive lower highs through the London and NY sessions on Wednesday and Thursday, bottoming at 1.33683 (week low). Price reclaimed EMA20 overnight after a double bottom around 1.3408–1.3417, and is now consolidating mid-range with RSI(14) recovering through 47 — a bullish divergence against the lower price low. Bailey's hawkish tone and Fed Bowman flagging stalled inflation progress have left the pair caught between offsetting hawkish signals.

Support: 1.34083, 1.33683, 1.33972

Resistance: 1.34508, 1.34578, 1.3509

What it said to watch

  • Hourly close above NY high 1.34508 opens path back toward week open 1.3509
  • Loss of session low 1.34083 reopens the week low at 1.33683
  • Failure to hold EMA20 reasserts the downtrend structure

14:00 UTC

Downtrend, momentum stalling · RSI 45 · price 1.34319

Lower highs into range.

Cable has been grinding lower since Monday's open near 1.3505, printing successive lower highs into Thursday's NY session low at 1.3368. Price reclaimed 1.3400 after a softer set of US prints (weaker wholesale inventories, narrower goods trade deficit) but stalled into 1.3450 resistance and is now consolidating below the EMA(20) with RSI(14) flatlining mid-40s.

Support: 1.34083, 1.33683

Resistance: 1.34508, 1.34893, 1.3509

What it said to watch

  • H1 close above 1.34508 prior high would break the lower-highs sequence
  • Loss of 1.34083 wk low reopens the 1.33683 swing low
  • Soft German CPI today reinforces broader USD-cross divergence theme

13:00 UTC

Downtrend, pullback stalling · RSI 42 · price 1.34288

Lower highs, lower lows since Tuesday.

GBPUSD has traded heavy since Tuesday's London session, printing successive lower highs from 1.3508 down to the 1.3370 week low before bouncing into the NY session yesterday. Today's NY hours have rejected the 1.3445 area twice and price is now retesting the 1.3410 session low, with RSI(14) cycling around 40 and price capped below both H1 EMAs. Soft German CPI and a weak Canadian GDP print have kept USD bid while BoE Bailey's cautious tone weighs on sterling.

Support: 1.3408, 1.3368, 1.3389

Resistance: 1.3445, 1.3458, 1.3489

What it said to watch

  • Sustained reclaim of EMA20 near 1.3445 needed to neutralise the downtrend read

12:00 UTC

Downtrend, lower highs intact · RSI 38 · price 1.34179

Lower highs from 1.3508 weekly open, holding below EMA20.

Cable has trended lower since Monday's 1.3508 open, printing a series of lower highs with each NY session driving the dominant leg down. Friday's London session rejected at 1.3450 below the EMA20 and price is now retesting the 1.3410 area after Bailey's comments on Middle East risk weighed on GBP. RSI at 38 reflects sustained downside pressure without yet reaching oversold.

Lower highs from 1.3509 weekly open, range forming above 1.3370.

Cable has bled lower from Monday's 1.3509 open, printing a week low at 1.3368 during Thursday's NY session before recovering into a 1.3408–1.3508 range. Today's London session has rejected back below the 20-EMA after a failed test toward 1.3450, with Bailey's BoE comments on monitoring Middle East risk weighing on GBP. RSI cycling 35–55 confirms sellers in control without being oversold.

Support: 1.34083, 1.33683, 1.33972

Resistance: 1.34508, 1.34689, 1.3509

What it said to watch

  • Reclaim of 1.3450 prior high needed to neutralise the lower-high sequence
  • Further BoE commentary on Middle East / inflation tradeoff could shift the read

10:00 UTC

Downtrend, momentum easing · RSI 38 · price 1.34095

Lower highs since Monday's open, defending mid-1.3400s.

GBPUSD has been grinding lower since Monday's open near 1.3493, printing successive lower highs with the week low at 1.3368 set during yesterday's NY session. Wednesday's bounce capped at the 1.3450–1.3458 prior high zone and price has rolled over again into today's London session, now retesting the 1.3408 session low with RSI rebuilding bearish momentum after Bailey's hawkish-hold comments did little to lift sterling.

Support: 1.34083, 1.3395, 1.33683

Resistance: 1.34508, 1.34578, 1.3489

Lower highs into 1.3400 floor, basing attempt.

Cable has been in a stepped downtrend since Monday's 1.3509 week high, with the NY session two days ago driving the impulse leg into 1.3368.

RSI sits mid-40s and price remains under EMA20 and EMA50.

Resistance: 1.34508, 1.3489, 1.3509

Lower-high reclaim after sweep of 1.3370.

Price rolled over from the 1.3509 week high through Tuesday's NY session, swept the 1.3368 swing low yesterday and snapped back above the EMA20 into the London close. Tone has shifted from impulsive selling to consolidation between the intraday low at 1.3432 and the prior high near 1.3450, with RSI(14) cycling back to neutral after the bullish divergence at the lows. Bailey speech and German state CPI prints this morning are the obvious catalysts to break the balance.

Lower highs from 1.3509, bounce off 1.3368 low.

Sterling has been on the back foot since Monday's open near 1.3478, with the dominant impulse a Wednesday-into-Thursday slide that printed the week low at 1.3368 during NY hours after soft US PCE. The Friday Asia session has staged a recovery off that base, with price now consolidating just above 1.3440 — back above EMA(20) but capped below the 1.3451 prior high and well under the falling EMA(50). Two tests of 1.3368/1.3417 with a higher RSI low hint at a near-term double bottom, but the broader H1 structure of lower highs is intact.
