GBPUSD H4: Bullish Momentum Above Ichimoku Cloud

Summer Bank Holiday to Affect GBPUSD Liquidity and Volatility

The GBPUSD currency pair, commonly known as “Cable,” is one of the most traded pairs in the forex market, representing the exchange rate between the British Pound (GBP) and the US Dollar (USD). Today, the market faces potential low liquidity due to the UK banks’ closure in observance of the Summer Bank Holiday, possibly resulting in irregular volatility. On the other hand, the United States is set to release its Durable Goods Orders report, which could significantly influence the USD if the actual figures differ from forecasts, as higher-than-expected orders typically indicate increased manufacturing activity and economic strength.

The GBPUSD H4 chart indicates a strong bullish trend, supported by multiple positive candles, with 8 out of the last 10 candles showing upward movement. The price is currently above the Ichimoku cloud, a sign of bullish momentum, and is situated between the 0.5 (1.30380) and 0.618 (1.32266) Fibonacci retracement levels. The recent price action shows a steady climb within a rising channel, highlighting the strength of this uptrend. The RSI is trending in the overbought region, around 81.44, suggesting strong buying interest, but also indicating potential for a short-term correction if profit-taking occurs. If the price manages to break above the 0.618 Fibonacci level, it could aim for the next resistance around the 0.786 Fibonacci level, at approximately 1.34951.
