GBP/USD Price Analysis: Consolidates gains below 1.3000

GBP/USD recedes from the highest since March 10.
Break of two-day-old support line, MACD/RSI conditions push the sellers to take the risk.
1.2775/80 becomes the key support, bulls may aim for mid-February highs beyond 1.3000.

GBP/USD eases to 1.2980 during Thursday’s Asian session. In doing so, the Cable takes a U-turn from the highest since the early March while cheering the break of the immediate support line. Also suggesting further pullback is the bearish MACD signal and downward sloping RSI.

Hence, Tuesday’s high around 1.2940 gains the traders’ immediate attention ahead of an ascending support line from July 23, at 1.2925.

If at all the bears manage to break 1.2925 level, 1.2900 holds the key to the pair’s south-run towards 1.2775/80 support-zone, comprising 200-HMA and early-July 24 high.

Meanwhile, an upside clearance of 1.3000 will have to cross February 13 top near 1.3070 before attacking March month’s peak of 1.3200.

EUR/USD recovers further from one-month low set on Friday, eyes mid-1.1800s on weaker USD

The EUR/USD pair is seen building on Friday's late recovery from the 1.1750-1.1740 region, or a nearly one-month trough, and gaining some follow-through positive traction at the start of a new week. The momentum lifts spot prices to the 1.1835 area during the Asian session and is sponsored by a broadly weaker US Dollar.

GBP/USD gathers strength above 1.3500 amid tariff confusion

The cryptocurrency market starts the week in panic mode, with altcoins Zcash, Pump.fun, and LayerZero. Bitcoin falls below $65,000 as the US President Donald Trump regroups amid renewed trade policy risks.

Liberation day take two, the tariff machine just changed gears

Let me caveat this from the outset. What we are watching is first-order mechanics, not the grand macro endgame. This is the market’s immediate reflex to a 15% Trump tariff levy dressed up as judicial drama. The Supreme Court blocked Trump tarrif hammer. The White House came back with a scalpel.
