GBP/USD chart on the hourly time frame

GBP/USD chart on the hourly time frame

The pair is moving in a scenario similar to the EUR/USD, having failed to hold above the long-term ascending channel and initiating a gradual downward trend towards the lower channel boundary.
Prices are below the moving averages, and the MACD indicator is in negative territory with increasing momentum, reflecting the dominance of sellers in the current movement.

Overall trend: Corrective bearish
Support: 1.3670 – 1.3600
Resistance: 1.3735 – 1.3800

Expectation: A break below 1.3670 would reinforce the decline towards 1.3600, while a rise above 1.3735 could provide the pair with a respite without altering the overall trend.

The pair is showing a clear failure to maintain trading within the ascending channel after bouncing off the recent high near the upper channel boundary. The price is currently trading near the lower boundary of the broken ascending channel, increasing the likelihood of continued short-term selling pressure.
The MACD indicator has clearly moved into negative territory with increasing red bars, confirming the weakening upward momentum and the market entering a correction phase.

Overall Trend: Neutral with a slight downward bias
Support: 1.1840 – 1.1810
Resistance: 1.1890 – 1.1950

Expectation: Holding below 1.1890 maintains the negative pressure, while a break below 1.1840 could push the pair towards 1.1810. Only a return above 1.1950 would reinstate the bullish scenario.

The pair maintains its upward trading near multi-year highs, supported by the ongoing monetary policy gap between the Federal Reserve and the Bank of Japan. However, overbought signals are appearing on shorter timeframes.
The MACD indicator remains positive but shows a clear slowdown in the upward momentum.

General Trend: Upward with a Correction Tendency
Support: 154.10 – 153.40
Resistance: 155.60 – 156.20

Expectation: A break above 155.60 could open the way towards 156.20, while a break below 154.10 could push the pair into a deeper correction towards 153.40.
