GBP/USD Price Analysis: Buyers stay hopeful above 1.3195 support confluence

GBP/USD prints four-day winning streak, recently picking up bids from 1.3144.
10-day SMA, two-week-old rising trend line offer near-term strong support.
Monthly top, September high stay on the bulls’ radars.

GBP/USD ticks up to 1.3260, gaining 0.06% intraday, during the pre-Tokyo open trading on Wednesday. In doing so, the Cable keeps Friday’s recovery moves from 10-day SMA and an ascending trend line from November 02 amid bullish MACD signals.

GBP/USD buyers currently eye the 1.3300 round-figure ahead of targeting the monthly peak surrounding 1.3315.

During the quote’s sustained rise past-1.3315, the 1.3400 threshold can offer an intermediate halt before propelling the bulls toward September’s high near 1.3485.

Alternatively, a daily closing below 1.3195 support joint can quickly challenge the previous week’s low near 1.3105.

Though, the 1.3100 mark may stop the GBP/USD bears from attacking the monthly low of 1.2854.

GBP/USD keeps the firm tone above 1.3600

GBP/USD clings to its daily gains, although it gives back some of them and recedes toward the 1.3630-1.3620 band on Thursday. Cable’s uptick comes despite the modest bounce in the Greenback, while investors gear up for key data releases on the UK calendar on Friday.

EUR/USD treads water near 1.1670

EUR/USD gives away all its initial gains and receded to the sub-1.1700 region. The US Dollar’s late recovery has dragged the pair lower, leaving it practically unchanged following the NA session on Thursday. In the meantime, investors gear up for the release of preliminary S&P Global Manufacturing and Services PMIs on both sides of the Atlantic on Friday.

Bulls in control with Bitcoin heading toward $80,000, Ethereum $2,500, XRP $1.50

$40 trillion debt black hole: Is a financial crisis coming?

The United States is closing in on a milestone that would have been almost unimaginable not long ago: $40 trillion in national debt. That staggering figure framed the latest episode of the Money Metals Midweek Memo, as host Mike Maharrey examined what he calls the economy’s “debt black hole” and zeroed in on a relatively obscure corner of the financial system that could become a much bigger problem: the $1.4 trillion private credit market.

$20 billion offered, $2 billion taken: Why Treasury doubled its buyback cap

The US Treasury moved off its own calendar on Wednesday, and that is the part worth sitting with. At 12:32 GMT, the department said it would at least double the size of liquidity support buyback operations in the 10-year to 20-year and 20-year to 30-year sectors, lifting the maximum from $2 billion per operation to at least $4 billion, effective September 9 and running to November 4.
