GBPUSD daily analysis

GBPUSD

There really isn't anything new to add to what I have already said previously this week...We are below both the weekly and daily pivot points...The daily RSI isn't showing that drastic oversold...its @ 26%...low I know...but not enough yet t stop the sellers...I think 1.2665 is the level we will aim for...Sterling crosses are looking weaker...Eur/Gbp remains above 8900..so that shows that the market does have further to go on the downside... we have taken out 1.2735 that was our sell signal for the 1.2665 area...Here I think Cable will stop...It will create a Double base...and this is what I think the market needs to gather its thoughts and momentum an make the move higher...

I don't think we are quite there yet on the downside...and I will not change my view unless this week we take out 1.2835 and stay above it..Then I think we could see some quite good action on the topside with 12908 the immediate target...I beleive buyers would look to cover here...I think also that fresh buyers would be in if we broke above 1.2920 for 12985...The 55 day M/A comes in at1.2985 as well with the 21 day @ 1.3020....Try to get 1.3000 out of your mind..its like roundfigureitus...

Cable works best at the 20 and 85 regions on any of the big figures....so it wouldn't be 1.3000 that holds...it would be 1.2985 or 1.3020....that's the way this market works...weekly charts are still pointing lower...so al the while this is happening, longer term traders will be waiting to sell...we are trending on the momentum signals..so we bear this in mind for the longer term traders....On the weekly charts I have had to take fibs from Oct 2016 flash crash....and this puts the 78.6 weekly level at 1.2510....still a lot higher from the 1.1950 we saw in Oct 2016....but I am a great believer in Double Bases...specially when it comes at the end of a downward move...Cable loves a double top or bottom...that is its favourite pattern....so do not ignore the 1.2665 area...there will be buyers there and we will be joining them..

GBP/USD remains slightly bid near 1.3300

GBP/USD now advances marginally and manages to dispute the 1.3300 region on Tuesday. Indeed, Cable regains some balance on the back of the lacklustre performance of the Greenback, all preceding the Fed’s meeting on Wednesday and the BoE’s gathering on Thursday.

EUR/USD recedes from tops, back below 1.1400

EUR/USD manages to set aside part of the recent weakness and clinches decent gains on Tuesday. Indeed, spot keeps the trade below the 1.1400 mark amid acceptable losses in the US Dollar, all following rising optimism of a US-Iran deal and steady caution prior to the FOMC gathering on Wednesday.

Gold bounces on poor US data

Gold remains under marked downside pressure on Tuesday, although the $4,000 zone per troy ounce emerges as a decent support for now. The precious metal’s pullback comes despite the modest losses in the US Dollar in a context of easing geopolitical tensions ahead of the key Fed event on Wednesday.

XRP falls toward $1.00 despite dwindling exchange reserves

Ripple (XRP) continues to trade under increasing pressure on Tuesday. This marks the second consecutive day of declines, reflecting broader risk-off sentiment as investors appear to shift gears in anticipation of the Federal Reserve (Fed) interest rate decision. On Wednesday, the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) is widely expected to leave interest rates unchanged in the 3.50%-3.75% range.

Warning signs in the stock market: Is this the top, or just a very short fuse?

Overnight, South Korea's Kospi fell more than 10%, SK Hynix lost close to 15% and Samsung Electronics lost 13%. Into that, Dow Jones Industrial Average futures traded up around 1% on paint and soft drinks, and S&P 500 futures sat roughly flat. An index that absorbs a memory-chip panic and prints nothing is not a calm market.

US Dollar mid-year outlook: Exceptional currency, exceptional risks?

The US Dollar enters the second half of 2026 in a markedly different position from a year ago. The King currency has recovered, reflecting persistent US inflation, changing expectations for Fed policy, geopolitical tensions and renewed demand for defensive assets.
