Technical Analysis
The GBPUSD technical analysis of the price chart on 4-hour timeframe shows GBPUSD,H4 is testing the 200-period moving average MA(200) after retracing down toward the MA(200) from six-week high it hit nineteen days ago. We believe the bearish movement will continue after the price breaches below the lower bound of the Donchian channel at 1.34608. A level below this can be used as an entry point for placing a pending order to sell. The stop loss can be placed above 1.35273. After placing the order, the stop loss is to be moved to the next fractal high indicator, following Parabolic 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 -
UK consumer inflation report was hotter than expected. Will the GBPUSD price retreating reverse?
UK’s consumer inflation rose more than expected: the Office for National Statistics reported consumer inflation rose to 3.8% over year in July. Analysts expected the rate of consumer price increases in July over the same period a year ago would rise again to 3.7% - the highest in 18 months. Prices rose at an estimated 3.6% annual rate in June, the highest annual inflation rate for nearly a year and a half. The consumer price index rose unexpectedly 0.2% in June to well above the Bank of England target rate of 2%. Fuel prices were a big driver behind the increased rate in June, while food prices rose at their steepest pace since February 2024. Economists expected grocery prices and travel costs to contribute most to July inflation figures. Accelerating UK consumer prices inflation is bullish for Pound and GBPUSD currency pair. However, the current setup is bearish for the currency pair.
