GBP/USD Chart Analysis
GBP/USD Technical Analysis
The GBPUSD technical analysis of the price chart on 1-hour timeframe shows GBPUSD,H1 is retracing down toward the 200-period moving average MA(200) after hitting one-month high yesterday. We believe the bearish momentum will continue after the price breaches below the lower bound of the Donchian channel at 1.2482. A level below this can be used as an entry point for placing a pending order to sell. The stop loss can be placed above 1.2508. After placing the order, the stop loss is to be moved to the next fractal high indicator, following Parabolic signals. Thus, we are changing the expected profit/loss ratio to the breakeven point. If the price meets the stop loss level without reaching the order, we recommend cancelling the order: the market has undergone internal changes which were not taken into account.
Fundamental Analysis of Forex - GBP/USD
UK services activity expansion rate was downgraded for January. Will the GBPUSD price retreating persist?
UK services sector activity continued expanding in January albeit at lower pace: SP Global UK Services Purchasing Managers’ Index was revised downward to 50.8 for January, down from a flash estimate of 51.2 and down from the December reading of 51.1. Readings above 50.0 indicate industry expansion, below indicate contraction. The growth rate matched November’s pace. However, total new work declined, ending a 14-month streak of continuous growth, as firms cited global economic uncertainty, elevated interest rates, and weaker business confidence following the Autumn Budget. Selling prices rose at the steepest rate in 13 months as cost inflation hit its highest level since April 2024. At the same time, employment levels fell for the fourth consecutive month as job cuts accelerated at the fastest pace since January 2021. Slower Expansion of UK services activity is bearish for British Pound and hence the GBPUSD pair.
