On Monday, the GBP/USD pair traded lower, approaching the lows seen last week. The UK released one report on Monday that, unsurprisingly, did not support the British currency. The UK economy exhibited weaker-than-expected growth in the third quarter, and the second-quarter figures were also revised downward. This situation naturally justified the pound's decline. However, it appears that the British pound may continue its downward trend even without local macroeconomic factors, as it remains overbought and unjustifiably expensive. While we are not likely to see significant movements this week, there is nothing to stop remaining traders from continuing to push the pair down in alignment with the overall trend.
On the 5-minute timeframe, two trading signals were generated on Monday. However, the key signal occurred on Friday. On that day, the price rebounded from the 1.2613 level, which triggered a significant decline. Opening trades just before the market closed on Friday involved considerable risk, but the signal was clear and played out as expected. On Monday, the price broke below the 1.2547 level and only paused near the 1.2502–1.2508 range. The bounce from this area acted as a buy signal.
On the hourly timeframe, the GBP/USD pair has completed its upward correction. In the medium term, we fully anticipate a decline in the pound, as this seems to be the most logical direction. However, it is important to note that the pound sterling faces strong resistance against the U.S. dollar. Therefore, while a decline is expected, traders should rely on technical signals. The outcomes of the Bank of England and Federal Reserve meetings strongly support the continuation of a bearish trend.
On Tuesday, the GBP/USD pair may experience a slight increase, as it was unable to break through the resistance zone of 1.2502–1.2508. However, a further decline still appears to be the more likely outcome.
For trading on the 5-minute timeframe, consider the following key levels: 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, and 1.2980–1.2993. On Tuesday, there will be only one significant macroeconomic report released—the U.S. durable goods orders. Additionally, please note that Wednesday is a holiday.
