The GBPUSD continues its descent, reaching the 1.2200 zone. Despite the UK's Q3 GDP surpassing expectations with a 0.6% annual expansion, the pair remains unresponsive as investors hold off for next week's crucial data releases to determine a clearer direction.

On an annual basis, the UK's GDP growth of 0.6% exceeded forecasts of 0.5%. However, the nation treads cautiously on the edge of a stagflationary scenario in 2023. Despite efforts by the Bank of England, inflation persists at elevated levels, prompting over 500 basis points of tightening.

On the other side of the Atlantic, hawkish remarks from the Fed chair have propelled US Treasury bond yields, providing support to the Greenback.

Looking ahead, market participants are gearing up for next week's UK economic calendar, featuring key indicators such as jobs data, inflation, and retail sales, crucial for market cues. In the US, alongside additional Fed speakers, attention will be on consumer and producer inflation, unemployment claims, and retail sales.

The GBPUSD continues its upward trajectory, reaching around 1.2230 in the Asian session. This uptick could be attributed to the support garnered from the better-than-expected Gross Domestic Product released by the United Kingdom last Friday, as market participants digest its implications. Looking ahead, focus will be on the upcoming UK economic docket revealing employment and inflation data tomorrow - Tuesday. Concurrently, all eyes will be on the US Consumer Price Index (CPI) for crucial cues.

The week commenced with a period of indecision, witnessing initial price action confined between 1.22375 and 1.22225 for the first 10 hours. However, a breakout of the level identified in the video at 1.223000, with an engulfing bullish candle could be setting a bullish tone for the period ahead. The levels on the chart indicate entry levels to look out for trading opportunities.

Over 500 pips in profit from five buy positions as CPI data came in below expectation. Protect positions

Trade active:
We have seen significant success with over 1,300 pips gained from seven buy positions, making this the most profitable trade among the assets on our watchlist for this week.

During the Asian session, trading activity on the GBPUSD remained within the range of 1.25050 and 1.24800. This followed a notable surge of 1.75%, pushing the pair to the 1.2500 zone after weaker US inflation data was released.

As we await the release of the high-impact United Kingdom’s (UK) Consumer Price Index (CPI) data for October, which is set to be released shortly, it is important to protect all positions. The event may incite volatility in either direction, so it is prudent to be cautious and ensure positions are secure.

A new set-up emerges for today's trading session

Trade active:
Secure sell position

Trade active:
The Pound Sterling has continued its decline for the second consecutive day, reaching as low as 1.23800 during the Asian session. With a gain of 150 pips from three sell positions, it appears that the price action is currently undergoing a retracement of the strong bullish movement that commenced earlier this week. The key question now revolves around the extent of this retracement before the potential resurgence of bullish momentum. It's important to note that the upside may be limited due to the increasing consensus that the Bank of England is likely to initiate interest rate cuts, supported by softer UK consumer inflation figures.

However, over the past 6 hours, price action has remained within a tight range , underlining uncertainties as market participants adopt a wait-and-see approach amid mixed fundamental cues from yesterday's economic indicators. A decisive breakthrough of this range holds the potential to either bolster bullish or bearish sentiments, making it a delicate juncture. Given this sensitivity, it is advisable to protect all sell positions while exercising patience and awaiting the next clear signal.

The Pound Sterling appears to continue its decline for the third consecutive day, with all attention on the upcoming Retail Sales data from the United Kingdom today. Currently trading around the 1.24100 zone during the Asian session, the 1.24000 area, considered a psychological level, could potentially act as immediate support, offering potential buying opportunities.

Despite the ongoing decline, the bullish outlook remains intact as the price action remains above the descending trendlines that were breached during yesterday's trading session.
However, a break below the 1.24000 area could exert further downward pressure on the GBPUSD pair. We will delve into a detailed analysis of the current market structure during the upcoming live session.

Happy Friday!
