1. Fundamental Analysis
🇺🇸 United States
US Dollar Remains Under Pressure
• The USD faced pressure due to renewed geopolitical noise and policy irregularities, contributing to stronger GBP performance during late January.
Tariff Uncertainty Adds USD Volatility
• Trump’s threat of new tariffs on Canada created additional instability and weakened USD sentiment, indirectly benefiting GBPUSD.
Market Focus on Fed Policy Path
• Markets saw no strong signals of medium term USD strength, as expectations leaned toward the continuation of the global uptrend against USD established in 2025.
🇬🇧 United Kingdom
Sterling Supported by Overall Risk Sentiment
• GBP showed resilience and attracted buyers particularly after pullbacks toward support zones such as 1.3760–1.3750 and 1.3670, showing strong dip buying interest.
No Major UK Data Releases
• The lack of significant UK macroeconomic events meant that GBPUSD was driven primarily by USD weakness and technical flows.
2. Technical Analysis
Trend Structure
• The GBPUSD pair continued a broad medium term uptrend, breaking through key resistance zones such as 1.3680, which opened room for higher targets.
• Elliott Wave structure shows a constructive bullish sequence with ongoing impulsive movement targeting higher zones toward 1.3900 and beyond.
Key Support Levels
• 1.3728 – 1.3750 → Immediate support zone where price frequently rebounded
• 1.3670 – 1.3700 → Stronger structural support; repeated bullish reactions
• 1.3643 – 1.3652 → Critical support; break may lead to 1.3600–1.3580 decline
Key Resistance Levels
• 1.3830 – 1.3850 → First major resistance frequently tested
• 1.3870 – 1.3920 → Extended resistance band; breakout confirms strength
• 1.3900+ → Elliott Wave’s projected continuation target

Targets:

4. Market Sentiment
• GBP sentiment: Constructive, supported by technical structure and dip buying behavior
