The GBP/USD pair corrected on Thursday after a significant rise the day before. The British pound lost approximately 90 pips. In the morning, relatively mediocre GDP and industrial production data for May were published in the UK, which partially triggered the decline of the British currency. However, we do not consider these reports to be the main reason for the fall. The GDP in May was +0.1%, as expected. Industrial production declined by 0.5%, although traders had anticipated only a 0.1% drop. Essentially, it was the industrial production figure that worked against the pound sterling. However, it is unlikely to cause a decline of nearly 1 cent. In the U.S., the retail sales report was neutral, while the Philadelphia Fed business index showed a value of 41.4 against forecasts of 13. However, we believe that the main reason for the pair's decline is technical. The pound sterling has been rising for three consecutive weeks, so a technical correction is what is needed right now.
On the 5-minute timeframe, no trading signals were formed on Thursday. Only by the end of the day did the pair test the 1.3456-1.3476 area, so trading signals may only form in this area on Friday.
On the hourly timeframe, the GBP/USD pair continues its three-week upward trend. We believe that the last rise of the pound is a recovery of fair value and a technical movement justified by the sideways channel on higher timeframes. The trend line on the hourly timeframe has been redrawn and again supports growth prospects. A consolidation below it would allow the pair to begin a downward correction. A new dollar trend, in our view, can only be expected in the event of a resumption of full-scale war in the Middle East.
On Friday, novice traders may open short positions with targets at 1.3380-1.3386 if the price consolidates below the 1.3456-1.3476 area. A bounce from the 1.3456-1.3476 area will allow for new long positions with targets at 1.3587-1.3598.
On the 5-minute timeframe, the following levels can be traded: 1.3096-1.3107, 1.3175-1.3180, 1.3259-1.3267, 1.3319-1.3331, 1.3380-1.3386, 1.3456-1.3476, 1.3587-1.3598, 1.3631-1.3641, and 1.3695. There are no significant publications scheduled in the UK for Friday, while the U.S. will release data on the housing sector and the University of Michigan's consumer sentiment index. We do not expect strong movements today unless something geopolitically unexpected occurs.
Price levels (areas) of support and resistance are targets when opening long or short positions or sources of signals.
Red lines indicate channels or trend lines that display the current trend and indicate the preferred direction for trading.
The MACD indicator (14,22,3) – histogram and signal line – is a supplementary indicator that can also be used as a source of signals.
Important speeches and reports (contained in the news calendar) can significantly impact the movement of the currency pair. Therefore, during their release, trading should be conducted with maximum caution, or one should exit the market to avoid sharp reversals against preceding movements.
