On Thursday, the GBP/USD pair once again plummeted, but this time the drop in the British currency lasted only five minutes. The reasons for the U.S. dollar's strength on Thursday were much more significant than on Wednesday. Yet, by the end of Thursday, the dollar had not gained even a single point.
To recall, many analysts on Wednesday speculated that the British currency had crashed by 200 pips because UK Chancellor Rachel Reeves broke down in tears during a debate in Parliament. Many tied those tears to criticism of the government and a potential resignation of the head of the Treasury. However, Prime Minister Keir Starmer almost immediately dispelled all concerns, stating that he fully trusts Reeves and holds her work in high regard.
Meanwhile, on Thursday, despite three of the most important U.S. economic reports showing strong figures and the dollar initially rising, it lost even more ground by the end of the day, with no apparent reason. Once again, we can conclude that the market refuses to buy the dollar under any circumstances, and any pullback is just used as a buying opportunity for the pound.
On the 5-minute timeframe, the pair traded mostly within the 1.3643–1.3682 range on Thursday, exhibiting a flat movement. Only one trading signal was truly noteworthy — a bounce from the 1.3580–1.3592 zone. After that bounce, the price returned to the flat range, where it made sense to lock in profit from long positions.
In the hourly timeframe, GBP/USD saw a sharp drop, but we do not believe this marks the beginning of a "dollar trend." The market still either sells the dollar or waits for fresh negative news from overseas to sell it again. This behavior will likely continue until the market sees tangible signs of the trade war ending, or until Donald Trump stops making decisions that exceed his authority, leaving market participants stunned.
On Friday, the GBP/USD pair may trade with low volatility, as the United States observes a public holiday today. A new ascending trendline has formed on the hourly chart, once again supporting the pound's growth.
On the 5-minute timeframe, trading can be done using the following levels: 1.3203–1.3211, 1.3259, 1.3329–1.3331, 1.3413–1.3421, 1.3518–1.3535, 1.3580–1.3592, 1.3643–1.3652, 1.3682, 1.3763, 1.3814–1.3832. No significant events or releases are scheduled in either the UK or the US on Friday, so there will be little for traders to react to during the day.
