📌 Weekly Outlook & Strategy
🔼 Bullish Scenario
• 1.3630–1.3640 holds → potential rebound toward 1.3700–1.3789
• Break and close above 1.3789 could invite upside toward 1.3900
🔽 Bearish Scenario
• Failure below 1.3630 may send the pair down to 1.3600, then 1.3550
• Continued fiscal or political uncertainty could further pressure GBP

Conclusion

💡 Trader Tip
“GBP/USD offers a mixed technical picture—trading just below its recent high with support around 1.3630. Watch Tuesday’s UK CPI and Wednesday’s tariff deadline. A clear break above 1.3789 would confirm bull momentum; a breakdown below 1.3630 could shift focus lower.”
