On Thursday, the GBP/USD also showed a downward move, despite the British pound having no real reason to fall. As mentioned earlier, this week's movements in the FX market have been very strange and illogical. Such moves are not rare, and when they do not align with the fundamental or macroeconomic background, the best approach is to acknowledge their illogicality rather than trying to force-fit news or data to explain them.
There were no significant events in the UK or the U.S. yesterday, although earlier this week, at least two events could have triggered a major dollar sell-off—but didn't. That's the main "strangeness" of the current moves. The price failed to consolidate below 1.3413 yesterday, so the upward trend remains intact. Today, however, it's unclear what to expect from U.S. reports, which may not even be released.
On the hourly chart, GBP/USD has completed the formation of its downtrend. As noted earlier, there are no reasons for prolonged dollar strength, so in the medium term, we expect only upward movement. Recent events in the UK and the U.S. have temporarily supported the dollar, but the global fundamental background remains negative for it, and the downtrend is already over.
On Friday, GBP/USD may continue its upward move. A rebound from 1.3413–1.3421 allows opening longs targeting 1.3466–1.3475 and higher. A consolidation below 1.3413–1.3421 would make shorts toward 1.3329–1.3331 relevant.
On the 5M chart, the following levels to trade from are: 1.3102–1.3107, 1.3203–1.3211, 1.3259, 1.3329–1.3331, 1.3413–1.3421, 1.3466–1.3475, 1.3529–1.3543, 1.3574–1.3590, 1.3643–1.3652, 1.3682, and 1.3763. No key events are scheduled in the UK on Friday. In the U.S., the ISM Services PMI will be released, while Non-Farm Payrolls and unemployment data are unlikely to be released.
