UK FTSE 100 (.FTSE) rally fades amid GBP volatility A bullish start to trade today for the FTSE 100 has faded amid a sterling rebound on rumours that Article 50 could be reversed unilaterally.

British Pound: USD/GBP (GBP=X) lifted on Article 50 news Cable has seen strong gains as a European judge weighs in on Article 50 but rallies here over the past few weeks have merely been the cue for fresh selling. The GBP/USD pair created a new lower high and lower low in the intraday charts yesterday, so any […]
British Pound: USD/GBP (GBP=X) rally proving short-lived GBP/USD has been moving sharply higher this morning, yet just like EUR/USD, we are seeing the 76.4% Fibonacci resistance level respected. The trend over the past week has been one of consolidation, with a failure to break below the crucial $1.2661-$1.2696 support zone meaning we still await the next […]
British Pound: USD/GBP (GBP=X) downside may be limited Fundamental Forecast for EUR/USD: Neutral – Both Italian politicians and European policymakers in Brussels remain entrenched in their respective negotiating positions, and now the European Commission is ready to punish Italy. – EUR/USD downside may be somewhat limited, particularly after the US Dollar’s fundamental backdrop eroded last […]
British Pound: USD/GBP (GBP=X) rallies on Powell speech While cable bounced following the Federal Reserve (Fed) chair Jerome Powell speech, it has failed to create a new higher high for GBP/USD, stuck at $1.285. We may see fresh selling pressure emerge. A move above $1.29 is needed to put a more bullish view on the pair. […]
UK FTSE 100 (.FTSE) rallies through key resistance level A dovish appearance from Federal Reserve (Fed) chair Jerome Powell yesterday provided a welcome boost for stock markets, with the FTSE 100 rallying back up into the 7059 mark. The ability to break convincingly above that level provides us with a more bullish outlook for the index. With […]
UK FTSE 100 (.FTSE) supported by buyers The spike higher earlier on yesterday was followed by an intraday pullback, but dip buyers came in around 6980, and the FTSE 100 then pushed higher. An area of resistance over the past week has been 7060, so a move above this would be a bullish development. Both 7100 and […]
British Pound: USD/GBP (GBP=X) consolidating at key support level GBP/USD has managed to remain above the $1.2823 support level this morning, following a fall into the crucial $1.2723 support level. The bearish trend looks likely to sustain given the rising likeliness of a harder form of Brexit, with UK Prime Minister Theresa May’s proposal failing to […]
British Pound: USD/GBP (GBP=X) slumps as Brexit worries weigh Expectations of a frosty reception in Parliament for the UK’s Withdrawal Agreement have driven more downside in GBP/USD, and the price is now heading towards the lows of late October at $1.2680, and then the August low at $1.2661. Rallies of late have run into heavy selling […]
UK FTSE 100 (.FTSE) briefly breaks crucial swing high The FTSE 100 joined many of the world markets in rallying sharply this morning, after rumours of a breakthrough between the US and China hit Twitter.

British Pound: USD/GBP (GBP=X) turning higher after recent decline GBP/USD sold off sharply on Friday, as the pair continues to exhibit strong retracements within its recent recovery. There are still questions over whether we are currently seeing a retracement of the $1.3072-$1.2724 sell-off. However, for now it looks likely we will overcome the $1.2927 peak from […]
British Pound: USD/GBP (GBP=X) remains stuck in a range The Pound-to-Dollar exchange rate is set to open the new week at 1.2822 ensuring it remains set in a sideways range between roughly 1.2650 and 1.3300. Last week it moved in an even narrower range within that range, closing at 1.2818 only a tenth of a […]
British Pound: USD/GBP (GBP=X) hovers above support The price of GBP/USD has been pushed back to support at $1.2773 but is holding for now. Further declines would target $1.2720, the low from last Thursday, while a bounce would have to clear $1.2870 and then break trendline resistance from the November high at $1.3160 to suggest the buyers […]
British Pound: USD/GBP (GBP=X) drop could point towards the next leg lower GBP/USD fell below the $1.2794 support level yesterday, raising the chances of further downside for the pair. The recent rebound always looked like a retracement, yet the size of that rebound is always going to be difficult to anticipate. However, with the failure […]
British Pound: USD/GBP (GBP=X) stalls at $1.29 While GBP/USD has rallied off the lows from last week, gains above $1.29 have not been forthcoming. A close above this level would open the way to $1.30, the peak from the first half of November, while a fresh drop targets $1.2773 and then $1.269. Overall, the bias in prices […]
British Pound: USD/GBP (GBP=X) continues to climb after recent sell-off GBP/USD is continuing its ascent following the sharp deterioration through last week. This looks likely to be a retracement, yet given the size of the initial downturn, it is likely that we will see further upside in the near term as the pair forms a deeper […]
British Pound: USD/GBP (GBP=X) focus on Brexit The rally of GBP/USD earlier in the week has faltered, and the price finds itself back below $1.305. Further declines will head towards $1.28, the lows from earlier in the week, while a rally above $1.305 would open the way to $1.32. With headlines appearing throughout the day, the pair […]
British Pound: USD/GBP (GBP=X) rocked by Brexit headlines The rally of GBP/USD earlier in the week has faltered, and the price finds itself back below $1.305.

British Pound: USD/GBP (GBP=X) falters at 61.8% retracement GBP/USD has been gaining ground as markets digest the potential culmination of Brexit talks which have produced a proposal for parliament and EU member states to consider. There is undoubtedly a chance that this could be the beginning of a wider recovery if the agreement was voted through. However, it […]
British Pound: USD/GBP (GBP=X) still under pressure GBP/USD created a new lower high last week, and further declines will target $1.2773. A bounce from intraday oversold conditions needs to clear $1.295 to suggest more near-term upside. A failure to push above here would bring out more selling pressure, and below $1.2827, Monday’s low. The price heads […]
Prime Minister Theresa May on Tuesday faced her divided ministers as negotiators scrambled to secure a divorce agreement with the European Union and anxiety mounted over the risk of a no-deal Brexit. May said Monday her government was working “extremely hard” to save a deal, telling officials of London’s financial district that negotiations “are now […]
British Pound: USD/GBP (GBP=X) moved into a consolidation phase Despite the strong surge in GBP early this month, we have held the same view since last Wednesday (07 Nov, spot at 1.3100) wherein “it would be surprising if the rebound in GBP could break 1.3190” (GBP subsequently traded to a high of 1.3176). However, the […]
British Pound: USD/GBP (GBP=X) UK gross domestic product proved positive The Pound Sterling to US Dollar (GBP/USD) exchange rate failed to hold onto gains made in the wake of the US midterm elections on Friday. Although the headline third quarter UK gross domestic product proved positive this was not enough to shore up Pound Sterling. […]
UK FTSE 100 (.FTSE) pushing higher after wedge pattern The FTSE 100 is pushing upwards in the wake of a bullish wedge breakout seen yesterday. Upside for global markets in the wake of the US midterm elections has provided European stocks with a bullish impetus, reversing the declines seen throughout the first half of the week. This […]
British Pound: USD/GBP (GBP=X) finds further strength Brexit optimism and a weaker dollar continues to support the GBP/USD. An early dip to $1.31 found buyers, and further gains target yesterday’s highs around $1.3175. So far dips have been bought, so a move back below $1.305 is needed to reverse the broadly bullish outlook. Overall, the bias […]
British Pound: USD/GBP (GBP=X) pushes past Fibonacci resistance GBP/USD has managed to regain a significant amount of ground, with the combination of a more hawkish Bank of England (BoE) outlook coupled with a post-midterm election decline in the dollar helping push the pair past the 76.4% retracement. That raises the chance of a wider bullish breakout above […]
UK FTSE 100 (.FTSE) turning lower after recent rebound The FTSE 100 is showing signs of a potential bearish shift, with a break below Friday’s low of 7072 providing a strong possibility of a pullback from here.

British Pound: USD/GBP (GBP=X) solidifies hold above $1.3050 Cable has managed to move GBP/USD above the $1.3050 area that provided resistance at the end of last week. Further gains would head towards possible resistance at $1.32 and then $1.33. A bearish view would prevail with a move back below $1.2950. Overall, the bias in prices is: Sideways. […]
British Pound: USD/GBP (GBP=X) weakening from confluent resistance GBP/USD managed to push sharply higher towards the end of last week, with the price rallying into Fibonacci and moving average resistance. That confluence of the 61.8% retracement, alongside the 200-day simple moving average (SMA), provides a potential turning point for the market. That being said, there is […]
British Pound: USD/GBP (GBP=X) Benefit from Improved UK Services PMI or GDP The GBP/USD exchange rate could return to an uptrend on Monday, however, if the UK services PMI for October proves encouraging.

British Pound: USD/GBP (GBP=X) surges on Brexit news News of a deal between the EU and the UK over financial services has bolstered GBP/USD, with the pair recovering ground lost over the past week.

British Pound: USD/GBP (GBP=X) rallies into trendline resistance GBP/USD has turned higher in early trade, with the pair hitting trendline resistance. There is a strong chance that this is simply another short-term rebound before we see another bearish reversal for the pair.

UK FTSE 100 (.FTSE) holds gains Despite morning predictions of a negative start, the FTSE 100 has closed out the morning with relatively comfortable gains, up 17 points at 7,043.

British Pound: USD/GBP (GBP=X) back to the lows GBP/USD has fallen to a new two-month low this morning, and a close below the $1.2770 lows of last week would suggest that a move to the August lows at $1.2661 is in play. A recovery above $1.2860 would suggest that some bullish strength is developing. Overall, the […]
UK FTSE 100 (.FTSE) Budget does little to inspire markets The FTSE 100 ended higher on Monday as the market from the previous week’s volatility while US stocks started off strongly as the rebound reached across the Atlantic.

British Pound: USD/GBP (GBP=X) turns lower despite stochastic breakout GBP/USD is turning lower yet again, following on from a rebound off the $1.2785 support level on Friday.

British Pound: USD/GBP (GBP=X) bears remain in control The Pound-to-Dollar rate fell to fresh lows of 1.2777 on Friday after solid growth data lifted the greenback while Sterling remained on its back foot due to unfavourable Brexit news-flow.

British Pound: USD/GBP (GBP=X) focus on is at 1.2790 We first highlighted the possibility of a move to 1.2920/25 last Friday (19 Oct, spot at 1.3020) wherein we indicated a “break of 1.3000 would shift the focus to 1.2920/25”. The price action since then is line with our expectation even though the ease of which […]
British Pound: USD/GBP (GBP=X) falling back towards crucial support level GBP/USD is falling once more, with the pair moving closer to the crucial $1.2922 support level. The falling wedge seen throughout the past week is pointing towards a potential bullish break at some point. However, the ability to break below $1.2922 is the real signal for […]
British Pound: USD/GBP (GBP=X) bounces for now After yesterday’s losses, GBP/USD is rebounding for the time being, although it remains firmly in a downtrend from the highs of mid-October. Rallies to $1.31 may find fresh selling, but a close above this level would at least generate a new higher high. The October low at $1.2922 could be […]
UK FTSE 100 (.FTSE) jitters over geopolitical tensions British shares sank fell more than 1 percent to their lowest since March on Tuesday as a broad sell-off hit stocks across Europe, caused by a toxic mix of weak results, jitters over geopolitical tensions, Brexit, Italy’s budget and cooling markets overnight. The FTSE 100, on track […]
British Pound: USD/GBP (GBP=X) attempting to rebound from trendline support GBP/USD is regaining ground this morning, following on from a pullback into trendline support last week. The ability to break through the $1.3131 resistance would bring greater confidence for a push into the descending trendline resistance, which forms the top of a symmetrical triangle. As such, […]
British Pound: USD/GBP (GBP=X) tests key moving average While the price is holding above the 50-day simple moving average (SMA) at $1.3005, the overall picture for GBP/USD seems bearish given the declines seen over the past week. It would require a close above $1.32 to reverse this view. Further declines target $1.2926, and then down to $1.2773. […]
British Pound: USD/GBP (GBP=X) falls below key support level GBP/USD has managed to break below the $1.3098 support level, bringing about expectation of further downside from here. Given the failure to create a new high above $1.3299, there is a distinct possibility that we are going to see a further breakdown. However, a break below the […]
British Pound: USD/GBP (GBP=X) turning lower after failed attempt to break resistance GBP/USD has failed to rally through the $1.3258 swing high, raising doubts about the longevity of this rebound. The direction for this pair will be determined by a break through $1.3258 or $1.3098. A drop below that $1.3098 low points towards a potential wider […]

By the way, prices are vulnerable to […]
British Pound: USD/GBP (GBP=X) buoyed by Brexit hopes GBP/USD has climbed steadily since the low last week, and since then each intraday sell-off has been met by buying.

British Pound: USD/GBP (GBP=X) pulling back after recent ascent GBP/USD has been an outperformer of late, with yesterday proving no different.

British Pound: USD/GBP (GBP=X) still on the up despite weakness While the price has dropped back from yesterday’s highs, the powerful rebound from $1.304 suggests the move higher will resume soon for GBP/USD.

British Pound: USD/GBP (GBP=X) rallies through key resistance Hopes of a Brexit breakthrough have helped push GBP/USD through the crucial $1.3118 level.

British Pound: USD/GBP (GBP=X) Uptrend Might be Resuming It is a testament to the turnaround in market perceptions of the Pound that it outperformed the U.S. Dollar last week, despite the fact that the Dollar has been one of the strongest currencies in the G10 of late. GBP/USD rose mainly on easing Brexit concerns after […]
British Pound: USD/GBP (GBP=X) still on a lower trajectory Rallies have been sold into over the past two weeks, so any move that fails to recover $1.3030 would still be another selling opportunity for GBP/USD.

British Pound: USD/GBP (GBP=X) on a downward path GBP/USD lost the rising trendline that had held since mid-August, continuing its decline from $1.33.

British Pound: USD/GBP (GBP=X) continues downturn GBP/USD has dropped into a near three-week low, with the pair looking set for further downside from here. The downtrend seen since the $1.3298 peak is likely to persist, even if we are looking at a retracement. We would need to see a break through $1.3117 to pave the way […]

British Pound: USD/GBP (GBP=X) lower due to the rally in the US dollar GBP/USD is also lower due to the rally in the US dollar. It was a quiet day in terms of economic indicators from the UK, so today’s move was dollar driven. The lack of clarity in relation to Brexit will continue to hang […]
British Pound: USD/GBP (GBP=X) continues to gain ground within likely retracement GBP/USD has been regaining ground following on from the deterioration through the $1.3098 swing low.

UK FTSE 100 (.FTSE) drifting lower The FTSE 100 has been drifting lower in the wake of a rally into the 61.8% retracement and 200-day simple moving average (SMA) on the four-hour chart.

British Pound: USD/GBP (GBP=X) remains in an uptrend GBP/USD recovered from Friday’s slump, creating a higher low as it held above $1.3040 support. Further gains target $1.3204 and then $1.33.

British Pound: USD/GBP (GBP=X) faces key resistance The uptrend continues for GBP/USD, but so far this week gains above $1.3170 have proved fleeting.
