GBP/USD steps back from two-week-old horizontal resistance.

While stepping back from a fortnight-old resistance, GBP/USD trades near 1.2450, currently around 1.2460, amid the early part of generally less liquid Good Friday.

Considering the pair’s latest pullback moves, odds of its drop to the immediate support line, around 1.2425 are much brighter.

Though, 1.2400 round-figure and 200-bar SMA near 1.2355 will limit the pair’s further declines.

Alternatively, an upside clearance of March 27 high surrounding 1.2485 could propel buyers to target 50-day and 200-day SMAs on the daily chart, respectively at 1.2560 and 1.2660.

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.
