Trading GBPUSD H4 bearish trend with key indicators

Key technical indicators for GBPUSD trend analysis

The GBP/USD forex pair, also known as “Cable,” is one of the most traded currency pairs in the forex market, representing the British Pound against the US Dollar. Its movements are heavily influenced by economic data releases from both the UK and the US. Today, key UK economic events such as the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) release, construction output, and the trade balance are set to impact the British Pound. Similarly, the US PPI data and speeches from Federal Reserve members will likely drive market sentiment for the US Dollar. A stronger-than-expected UK GDP could offer short-term support for the Pound, while hawkish comments from the Federal Reserve could strengthen the Dollar and maintain downward pressure on GBPUSD chart.
