GBPUSD Weekly Outlook: New perspective for the week | Follow-up

In the previous week, the growth of the Pound Sterling unfolded before our eyes, defying the weight of higher interest rates imposed by the Bank of England (BoE) on households in the United Kingdom. Despite this burden, prices surged and fearlessly tested the psychological resistance level of 1.28500 for the third consecutive week.

Furthermore, the Pound capitalized on the U.S. non-farm payroll data falling short of expectations. On Friday, the Labor Department revealed that June saw a lower-than-expected addition of 209,000 new hires, with May's figures revised downward by 33,000 to 306,000. However, amidst this backdrop, the unemployment rate experienced a decline from 3.7% to 3.6% in June, while average hourly earnings mirrored the previous month's growth, increasing by 0.4%.

Market sentiments are strongly suggesting that the Bank of England is poised to further raise interest rates, driven by the fact that U.K. inflation remains the highest among developed nations. This sentiment could potentially fuel an ongoing uptrend as investors eagerly seek higher yield returns from the Pound.

Following the breakdown of the first support line at $1.28200, the new week has started on a bearish note, which can be seen as a retracement of the previous week's strong bullish movement. At this point, the crucial question is how far the bearish momentum will extend before another bullish surge, or if this momentum will result in a significant sell-off. If you didn't catch the breakdown below the $1.28200 level, it's advisable to wait for a retest of the market structure, indicating selling pressure, before considering joining a bearish move. Conversely, if buying pressure resumes and a trend continuation pattern emerges, we should prepare for a potential buying opportunity. Stay tuned for an upcoming update.
