The GBP/USD pair also showed confident growth throughout Thursday, driven by the Bank of England's stance and a disappointing US GDP report for the second quarter. Essentially, yesterday sent the dollar into a knockout, and the market finally opened its eyes and realized that not all factors currently support the American currency. For instance, the BoE and the European Central Bank are much closer to tightening monetary policy than the Federal Reserve. The US economy is slowing, and it will slow further if the Fed starts tightening policy. The US labor market may hold back the Fed's hawkish impulses in the coming months. Geopolitics remains ambiguous, so making any forecasts about inflation is pointless. We believe that now is the time to work with actual information rather than expectations. It is also important not to forget about the higher time frames, where the outlook for the British pound is quite positive. The upward trend from 2022 remains intact, and the pair has begun moving from the lower boundary of the yearly sideways channel to the upper boundary.
On the 5-minute time frame on Thursday, several trading signals were generated. All buy signals were profitable and marked with green rectangles. Unfortunately, before the new phase of growth, a sell signal formed that proved to be false and resulted in losses for traders. However, two long positions yielded good profits and offset the loss from the short position.
On the hourly time frame, the GBP/USD pair has begun a new upward trend. In our view, the British pound will continue to rise even if local factors do not support it. On the weekly time frame, the move from the lower boundary of the sideways channel to the upper boundary began a month ago, and it is not yet complete. The Fed did not support the dollar, and geopolitics cannot sustain it forever, so we see no reason for further strengthening of the American currency.
