The Elliott Wave analysis for GBPUSD on the daily chart indicates a bullish market setup. The pair is displaying impulsive behavior, pointing to strong upward momentum. The current wave count marks Gray Wave 3 within Orange Wave 5, suggesting a dynamic segment of the bullish structure where third waves are known for powerful price action.

Gray Wave 2 appears to have completed its corrective phase, giving way to Gray Wave 3. This segment usually carries extended upward moves with minimal pullbacks. As Gray Wave 3 unfolds within the broader Orange Wave 5, traders can expect potential sustained gains.

The critical level to watch is 1.33486. Any move below this level would invalidate the current wave count and require a revised interpretation. As long as this level holds, the outlook remains upward.

Technical indicators support the view of institutional buying, with the ongoing wave expected to drive notable gains as part of the bullish cycle.
