The GBP/USD pair also continued its upward movement on Wednesday. As expected, this happened without the need for any news or reports. As we've said many times, the broad fundamental backdrop is sufficient for the U.S. dollar to keep depreciating. The market regularly takes a stance on Donald Trump's war against Powell and the global trade war. If the outlook for the U.S. economy under these conditions were optimistic and positive, the dollar wouldn't have been plunging for six months in a row.
Therefore, we do not view the growth of the U.S. stock market or Bitcoin as signs of economic strength or a bright future for America. We believe the dollar itself best reflects the real state of the U.S. economy and what foreign investors expect from it. From a technical standpoint, the situation is similar to that of the euro: the price has consolidated above the descending trendline, and a legitimate upward trend is now forming.
On the 5-minute timeframe, the pair made two rebounds from the 1.3518–1.3532 area on Wednesday, then climbed to the next target zone at 1.3574–1.3590. Two subsequent bounces from that area also allowed novice traders to open short positions. The signals repeated each other in both cases. As a result, it was possible to make a small profit on Wednesday, although overall volatility remained very low throughout the day.
On the hourly timeframe, GBP/USD shows signs of forming a new local upward trend. The price has consolidated above the descending trendline, indicating a further rise is expected in the coming weeks. The fundamental background continues to weigh against the U.S. dollar, and the market hasn't yet priced in many negative factors for the greenback.
On Thursday, the GBP/USD pair may continue to rise regardless of the local macroeconomic backdrop. We believe that a breakout above the 1.3574–1.3590 area will pave the way for the pound to reach the 1.3643–1.3652 zone.
On the 5-minute chart, the following levels are relevant for trading: 1.3203–1.3211, 1.3259, 1.3329–1.3331, 1.3413–1.3421, 1.3466, 1.3518–1.3525, 1.3574–1.3590, 1.3643–1.3652, 1.3682, 1.3763, 1.3814–1.3832.
On Thursday, business activity reports will be released in both the UK and the U.S. The UK data will be more significant in this case, as the U.S. has its own more impactful indices, such as the ISM reports. The market usually draws conclusions about U.S. business activity based on those.
