The GBP/USD pair continued to trade with low volatility on Friday, remaining within the sideways channel of 1.2913 to 1.2980. For the last four days, the price has consistently remained in this range. Despite the strong growth of the British currency, there seems to be no inclination in the market to correct, even slightly. The market has been largely ignoring any positive news for the dollar, as evidenced on Friday.
On that day, reports on industrial production and GDP were published in Great Britain, marking the first reports of the week. GDP for January came in below forecasts, and industrial production fell by 0.9%, which was worse than anticipated. However, the pound sterling did not decline during the European trading session. This suggests that the market overlooked these reports, which would typically support the dollar. However, if Donald Trump announces new tariffs over the weekend, we could see the dollar drop on Monday.
In the 5-minute time frame on Friday, only one trading signal was generated, which could easily be ignored. Towards the end of the day, the price bounced off the level of 1.2913, but entering the market before the weekend—especially knowing that Trump could speak at any moment and potentially cause market turmoil—was not advisable.
In the hourly time frame, the GBP/USD pair should have started a downtrend some time ago, but Trump's actions seem to prevent this from happening. In the medium term, we still expect the pound to decline with a target of 1.1800. However, it is uncertain how long the dollar's downturn, influenced by Trump, will last. Once this movement concludes, the technical situation across all time frames may change drastically, but currently, long-term trends still point downward. The pound has risen in a manner that seems excessive and illogical.
The GBP/USD may continue to rise on Monday if Trump continues to make waves in the market and impose his terms. A downward correction is impending, but the market does not currently favor buying the dollar.
On the 5-minute TF, you can now trade at 1.2301, 1.2372-1.2387, 1.2445, 1.2502-1.2508, 1.2547, 1.2613, 1.2680-1.2685, 1.2723, 1.2791-1.2798, 1.2848-1.2860, 1.2913, 1.2980-1.2993, 1.3043, 1.3102-1.3107. There are no interesting events scheduled for Monday in the UK, while in the U.S., the retail sales report will be released. But we remember that the market does not need macroeconomic data at this time.
