Amidst Uncertainties, Cable Market Grapples Despite U.K. Economy's 0.2% Growth
In a twist against expectations for a flat reading, the U.K. economy witnessed a 0.2% growth in the second quarter, bolstered by a 0.5% monthly increase in June. However, lingering inflation concerns loom, potentially restraining future growth with the looming possibility of further interest rate hikes.
Shifting gears, the U.S. Dollar held steady on Friday, its value scarcely wavering as traders absorbed the latest inflation data. The U.S. consumer price index matched predictions, showing growth in July compared to the previous month. This outcome prompted speculation that the Fed might maintain current interest rates in September, while also prompting a reduction in expectations for a rate cut this year, maintaining rates near 22-year highs.
At this pivotal juncture, the market's focus tightens on impending economic indicators from both economies in the upcoming week. All eyes are on the 1.27000 level; any failure to defend it could usher in a deeper downtrend movement.
GBPUSD Technical Analysis:
Will the pound find solid support at $1.27000, 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, including the Claimant Count Change, ILO Unemployment Rate, Retail Sales, Consumer Price Index, and FOMC Minutes. 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 $1.27000, where an ascending trendline intersects in the Daily timeframe. 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.

Trade closed manually:
The sell position has been closed at the break-even point, restoring the status quo. We are now in a state of anticipation, poised for either a breakdown or a breakout of the range identified this morning, which will pave the way for potential trading opportunities.
Trade active:
After closing the sell position yesterday, trading has been stuck in a narrow range as GBPUSD struggles to find buyers in the Asian session. The UK employment data released this morning came in below expectation. This development casts a shadow over the impending November interest rate hike deliberations by the Bank of England. The market's immediate reaction demonstrated a surge of bullish sentiment. The breakout/retest of the resistance line at $1.20750 may represent a pivotal signal to validate buying opportunities.
