On Friday, the GBP/USD pair continued its downward movement, which began on Thursday. Notably, there were no strong fundamental reasons for the British currency to decline on Thursday, but the price broke below the ascending trendline, leading to a drop based purely on technical factors. By Friday, the price approached the 1.2613 level, where its last local low is located. It is not yet certain that the downtrend, which started three months ago, has resumed. Over the next five days, numerous UK and U.S. events could trigger unexpected price movements. Therefore, while we expect a decline in the British currency in the medium term, macroeconomic and fundamental factors could also drive the pound upward.
In the 5-minute timeframe, Friday presented one excellent sell signal. Unfortunately, it formed overnight, but as we know, trading takes place around the clock. At the start of the European trading session, the price had not moved significantly away from the signal point, so short positions could still be opened. During the day, the price initially approached the 1.2613 target level and eventually worked through it. Thus, traders could secure profits regardless of when the trade was closed.
The GBP/USD pair presumably completed its upward correction on the hourly timeframe. In the medium term, we fully support the pound's decline, as we believe this is the most logical scenario. Therefore, further depreciation of the British currency can be expected in the near future. However, this week, it will be crucial to monitor fundamental and macroeconomic factors closely.
On Monday, novice traders can trade based on the 1.2613 level. A new rebound from this level could lead to another upward movement. Conversely, consolidation below this level would confirm the resumption of the downtrend.
On the 5-minute timeframe, key levels to trade from are 1.2387, 1.2445, 1.2502–1.2508, 1.2547, 1.2633, 1.2680–1.2685, 1.2723, 1.2791–1.2798, 1.2848–1.2860, 1.2913, 1.2980–1.2993. On Monday, reports on business activity will be published in the UK and the U.S. The British reports hold more significance for the market, but as always, the key will be deviations from forecasts.
