GBPUSD | Perspective for the new week | Follow-up

Diupdate
The pound Sterling experienced a turbulent week as it traded within a narrow range. However, a recovery in broad-market sentiment occurred after the release of a disappointing US Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP) report. This report sparked investor risk appetite, particularly heading into the weekend.

The US NFP figures fell short of expectations, revealing the worst headline figure in nearly three years. In October, the US added 150K new jobs, which was below the market forecast of 180K and significantly lower than September's figure of 297K. September's figure was also revised downwards from the initial print of 336K.

This underwhelming performance in US job growth has led to a decline in the US Dollar across the broader market. Surprisingly, investors are now favoring risk assets over safe havens despite the negative US labor data. The softening of US data is likely to give the Federal Reserve reason to pause on interest rate decisions. Investors are eagerly looking for signs that the Fed will accelerate the schedule for future rate cuts.

As a result of this data, investors are now pricing in a 95% chance that the US central bank will keep interest rates unchanged in December, compared to the previous estimate of 80%. This shift in expectations may lead to increased volatility for the pound Sterling, especially considering that the UK GDP data is scheduled for release next Friday.

Following a slight increase in US Treasury bond yields, the US Dollar is making an effort to recover from last week's low. However, it is important to consider that the potential for a sustained upward trajectory of the US Dollar could be limited due to expectations that the Federal Reserve will maintain interest rates at their current level during its December meeting.

Currently, the price action is confined within a narrow range below our resistance level around the 1.23900 area. This indicates a state of indecision among market participants, as they carefully assess their options, which include either a retracement of the previous impulsive move or initiating buy positions. The direction in which this range is ultimately broken will play a significant role in guiding our decisions for today.

The Pound Sterling is under pressure due to the Bank of England's pessimistic forecast, warning of a potential recession for the UK economy next year.
The currency pair shifted course and declined after hitting a near two-month high of 1.24250 yesterday, as the US dollar rebounded and gained positive momentum. With a 50-pip profit from the sell position, it is prudent to protect the position while we observe price movements to gauge the extent of this bearish trend.

The bearish momentum continues, resulting in over 100 pips of profit from three sell positions. The Pound Sterling is currently experiencing renewed bearish pressure, dropping below the 1.2300 zone during the Asian session as the US Dollar upswing regains momentum.

Market participants appear hesitant to place aggressive bets and are choosing to remain on the sidelines ahead of scheduled speeches by Bank of England (BoE) Governor Andrew Bailey and Federal Reserve (Fed) Chair Jerome Powell. Given the high risk of the UK economy entering a recession, Bailey's remarks will be closely monitored to reaffirm bets for a rate cut in August 2024.

Therefore, it is advisable to protect the current sell positions while keeping an eye out for new signals as the descending trendline remains our guiding light for today's trading activities.

The sell position has been closed with a modest profit, and trading activities have remained range-bound, with the price confined within the 1.22750 and 1.23000 zone, signaling uncertainty in the market over the last 18 hours.
While a subdued US Dollar and sluggish US Treasury bond yields are bolstering the Pound Sterling, a cautious risk tone is limiting the upside, especially with Powell's speech in focus. Market participants are eagerly awaiting Powell's comments for hints about future monetary policy, which will significantly impact near-term USD price dynamics and provide momentum to the GBPUSD pair in the absence of relevant UK data. The breakout direction from this range will offer valuable insight into potential price action for the latter part of the week.

Today, the United Kingdom is set to unveil its Q3 Gross Domestic Product (GDP). In anticipation of this announcement, the Pound Sterling is experiencing downward pressure against the US Dollar. If the outcome aligns with market expectations, it is likely to reinforce the Bank of England's decision to maintain the current interest rate.

Currently, the sell positions remain active as price action evolves into a bearish consolidation phase, resulting in oscillations within a narrow range between the 1.2230 and 1.22120 zone during the Asian session.
It is crucial to protect sell positions while keeping an eye on the descending trendline, which serves as our guiding light ahead of the GDP release.
