GBP/USD Chart Analysis
GBP/USD Technical Analysis
The GBPUSD technical analysis of the price chart on 1-hour timeframe shows GBPUSD: H1 is rising to test the 200-period moving average MA(200) after hitting 1-week low yesterday. We believe the bullish momentum will continue after the price breaches above the upper bound of the Donchian channel at 1.33207. A level above this can be used as an entry point for placing a pending order to buy. The stop loss can be placed below 1.32741. After placing the order, the stop loss is to be moved to the next fractal low, following Parabolic indicator signals. Thus, we are changing the expected profit/loss ratio to the breakeven point. If the price meets the stop loss level without reaching the order, we recommend cancelling the order: the market has undergone internal changes which were not taken into account.
Fundamental Analysis of Forex - GBP/USD
Recent UK data were weak. Will the GBPUSD price rebound reverse?
While S&P Global upgraded UK manufacturing sector performance data, the final reading still indicates UK manufacturing sector contracted in April: the Manufacturing PMI was revised up to 45.4 for April, slightly higher than March’s 17-month low of 44.9 and above the preliminary reading of 44.0. Readings above 50.0 indicate industry expansion, below indicate contraction. And the Bank of England reported UK consumer credit growth was at 9-month low: net consumer credit borrowing by individuals in the United Kingdom was £0.9 billion in March, the lowest level since last June, down from the revised £1.3 billion in February and missing market forecasts of £1.2 billion. The annual growth rate for all consumer credit decreased to 6.1% in March from 6.4% in February. At the same time, UK mortgage approvals fell more than expected: Mortgage Approvals fell by 800 to 64,300 in March, below market expectations of 64,800. Net mortgage approvals for house purchases is an indicator of future borrowing, and the decline in March was the third in a row. Weak UK economic data are bearish for Pound and GBPUSD currency pair. However, the current setup is bullish for GBPUSD.
