Ichimoku Cloud and Fibonacci Supporting GBPUSD
The GBPUSD forex pair, often referred to as “Cable,” is a major currency pair that represents the British Pound against the US Dollar. This pair is widely traded in the forex market, and its movements are influenced by economic factors from both the UK and the US. Traders keep a close eye on it, especially when significant economic data or central bank announcements are expected.
For today’s fundamental outlook on Cable, the upcoming releases from the Bank of England are highly anticipated by traders. The central bank’s hawkish stance is expected to positively impact the GBP, especially if the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) members vote for an interest rate hike or lean toward tightening policies. Insights from the minutes of the MPC meeting and the inflation letter due to CPI fluctuations will provide critical clues about the UK’s economic health. On the US side, Treasury International Capital (TIC) flows and Philadelphia Fed Business Outlook Survey may affect the dollar, especially if demand for domestic securities surges, or if manufacturers display confidence in business conditions. Both of these indicators are pivotal for USD valuations in the coming trading sessions.
Chart Notes:
• Chart time-zone is UTC (+03:00)
• Candles’ time-frame is 4h.
In the Cable’s attached H4 chart, we can see a bullish trend for GBP/USD with a combination of both bearish and bullish candles, but the overall movement shows price appreciation. The Ichimoku Cloud, which acts as a dynamic support and resistance level, confirms the bullish outlook, with the price currently above the cloud. Furthermore, the pair trades between the 0.786 and 1 Fibonacci retracement levels, which signals potential resistance around the upper level. The MACD indicator shows a bullish divergence, with the histogram reflecting increasing buying momentum, suggesting the upward trend could continue. However, traders should remain cautious as minor corrections are still possible.
