The current price action is in an impulsive mode, which signals sustained upward momentum in line with the broader market trend. The wave being monitored is Gray Wave 3, a significant wave in Elliott Wave theory, usually associated with strong upward movement within the trend.

The direction of the next higher degree movements continues to point towards Gray Wave 3, further supporting the ongoing bullish momentum. It’s noteworthy that Gray Wave 2 of 3 has already completed, indicating that a corrective phase has passed. The market is now advancing into Gray Wave 3 of 3, a phase typically characterized by an extended upward push within the overall wave structure.

The GBPUSD pair is in a robust bullish trend, driven by the impulsive Gray Wave 3. With Gray Wave 2 now completed, the market is advancing into Gray Wave 3 of 3, which indicates strong upward momentum. The analysis remains valid as long as the price remains above 1.30012.
