The GBP/USD pair mainly traded sideways on Friday, unlike the EUR/USD pair. The British pound also breached the ascending trendline, so one can speak of a bearish trend change for GBP/USD as well. However, in recent days, the euro has been falling while the pound has stood still. Even Maduro's arrest did not trigger a serious strengthening of the dollar against the pound. Thus, we remain of the view that the dollar can show growth only within corrections — local or global. This week, the U.S. will publish a relatively large amount of important macroeconomic information, so the "dollar story" may end very quickly. We also believe that U.S. intervention and Donald Trump's personal involvement in other countries' politics are more of a negative factor for the dollar than a positive one. At present, we still do not see what would prompt the market to buy the dollar for a prolonged period.
On the 5-minute timeframe, the British pound formed a decent buy trade signal on Friday. At the start of the U.S. session, the price bounced from the 1.3437–1.3446 area, then moved up about 45 pips. Recall that volatility in recent weeks and months has been relatively low, so expecting the nearest target of 1.3529–1.3543 to be reached was unrealistic. Tonight, the pair closed below the 1.3437–1.3446 area, suggesting short positions are worth considering.
On the hourly timeframe, the GBP/USD pair closed below the trendline, so formally, technical analysis points to a downward trend. However, there are no global grounds for medium-term dollar strength, so we expect movement only to the north. Overall, we also expect the resumption of the 2025 global uptrend, which could take the pair to the 1.4000 mark within the next couple of months.
On Monday, beginner traders can consider new long positions if the price closes above the 1.3437–1.3446 area, with a target of 1.3529–1.3543. Short positions became relevant after the close below the 1.3437–1.3446 area with a target of 1.3319–1.3331.
On the 5-minute timeframe, you can trade using the levels 1.2913, 1.2980–1.2993, 1.3043, 1.3096–1.3107, 1.3203–1.3212, 1.3259–1.3267, 1.3319–1.3331, 1.3437–1.3446, 1.3529–1.3543, 1.3574–1.3590. No major events are scheduled in the UK on Monday, while the U.S. will publish the ISM manufacturing index, which is considered a "major report."
Support and resistance price levels — levels that serve as targets when opening buys or sells. Take Profit can be placed near them.
Red lines — channels or trendlines that display the current tendency and show the preferred trading direction.
MACD indicator (14,22,3) — histogram and signal line — an auxiliary indicator that can also be used as a source of signals.
Important speeches and reports (always listed in the news calendar) can strongly affect the currency pair's movement. Therefore, during their release, it is recommended to trade as cautiously as possible or exit the market to avoid a sharp reversal of price against the prior move.
