GBPUSD | Perspective for the new week | Follow-up
Welcome, traders, to another exciting episode of my weekly price action-based technical analysis series, dedicated to unraveling the intricacies of the GBPUSD market.
The Bank of England (BoE) gears up for its 15th consecutive interest rate hike on September 21st. Join us as we dissect the implications of this development on price action!
August witnessed a notable surge in the British public's expectations for medium to long-term inflation. The BoE, confronting the highest inflation rate among leading global economies, has set the stage for yet another rate hike. However, the anticipation has stirred a cauldron of mixed reactions. Recent surveys have hinted at a softening outlook for inflation, further fueled by Governor Andrew Bailey's remark that the rate peak is now 'much nearer.'
Throughout the second half of the previous week, the pound oscillated just above a three-month low, eventually finding equilibrium around the $1.24500 territory as the week drew to a close. The brewing uncertainties, coupled with signs of a jobs market slowdown in Britain and an impressive dollar rally, have driven the pound to a 5% decline against the U.S. dollar since mid-July.
With the BoE's next interest rate decision looming on September 21st, traders are keeping a close watch. Derivatives markets indicate a 73% probability of a 25 bps rate hike, while a 27% chance exists that rates will remain steady at the current 5.25% level.
How will these prevailing sentiments sculpt the terrain of this market in the week ahead?
GBPUSD Technical Analysis:
Will the pound find solid support at the $1.24500 zone, or are we heading towards a potential breakdown and a possible sell-off? The stakes are high, and we're on the edge of our seats!
The spotlight is on high-impact economic events from both the UK and US dockets for clues. Brace yourselves as the anticipation and the actual events may trigger sharp price movements that could present incredible trading opportunities.
In this video, we've analyzed the Daily and 4-hour timeframes, exploring bullish and bearish sentiments to uncover the most promising trades for the week ahead. We've delved into key levels, trendlines, and support/resistance points, unveiling essential insights into the current market structure.
Keep a close eye on that critical confluence at $1.24500. It's a decisive moment where both sellers and buyers are vying for control, and how the market reacts here will set the course for GBPUSD in the upcoming days.

A well-defined reversal pattern appears to have emerged, marked by a convincing breakout above the significant $1.25000 level. This breakthrough hints at the potential for a bullish upswing. Given the absence of major economic events from either economy today, our guiding light will be the technical aspects of the market.
Our focus is on identifying potential buying opportunities, as indicated on the chart below, aligning with the emerging bullish sentiment in the market.

All buy positions have been closed due to selling pressure that resumed around the $1.25300 mark. Today's UK employment data proved disappointing, falling short of expectations and revealing a less-than-robust labor market. This initial data reaction has been bearish, but the key question is whether this downward momentum will persist. To navigate this market structure today, we'll rely on specified levels on charts for guidance. However, it's crucial to remember yesterday's live session, which highlighted the potential for bullish movements upon retesting the descending trendline and the $1.24260 zone.

Buy positions have been closed at break-even. Recall what we said about the significance of the price zone between $1.24620 and $1.24500 for potential buying opportunities during our live session yesterday? We witnessed the first retest of this zone, raising the question of whether a second retest will provide another chance to buy. It's important to recognize that despite our earlier buy positions this week, a bearish trend has taken shape, characterized by lower lows and reinforced by the descending trendline. Mixed figures form the UK this morning: the UK's GDP data (MOM) is exerting downward pressure on the Pound, as it came in below expectations at -0.5%, despite the manufacturing sector expanding by 3%, surpassing expectations. At this juncture, patience is advised as we await further structural clues for potential trading opportunities, with the impending release of US CPI data.
