On Friday, the GBP/USD pair also attempted to move further upward. It is worth noting that, unlike the euro, the British pound is not stagnating or trading in a flat range. Instead, it forms a clear upward correction, although this movement cannot last indefinitely. Last week, the pound rose purely on speculative enthusiasm, as most of the key U.S. data were favorable for the dollar. Nevertheless, the pound continued to rise, indicating a technically driven correction. Like all corrections, this correction will eventually end, giving way to a resumption of the trend-driven movement. Therefore, we continue to expect the pair to decline. The sharp rebound from the 1.2798 level on Friday could signal the end of the correction. The NonFarm Payrolls report exceeded forecasts, the wage report was stronger, and the University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment Index was better than expected. Only the unemployment rate fell short of expectations in October—three positives against one negative favor the dollar. We anticipate the dollar will strengthen further on Monday.
The 5-minute timeframe on Friday generated several trading signals. Entry opportunities for buying appeared during the European session near the 1.2754 level, where two signals formed. Following the release of U.S. data, there was a somewhat imprecise rebound from the 1.2791–1.2798 area, which was not acted upon. Later in the day, two more sell signals were formed near 1.2754, but as they emerged late in the evening, they could also have been skipped. Short positions can be held until Monday if anyone decides to trade them.
On the hourly timeframe, GBP/USD continues to correct after a two-month decline. In the medium term, we fully support the view of further declines in the pound, as this appears to be the most logical scenario. The correction seems purely technical, but now it looks complete.
On Monday, novice traders may anticipate further declines in the British pound, as three sell signals were generated on Friday, and the macroeconomic backdrop supports the dollar.
On the 5-minute TF, you can now trade at 1.2387, 1.2445, 1.2502-1.2508, 1.2547, 1.2633, 1.2680-1.2685, 1.2754, 1.2791-1.2798, 1.2848-1.2860, 1.2913, 1.2980-1.2993. Event calendars for the UK and the U.S. are empty on Monday. However, the U.S. dollar may strengthen today, driven by Friday's reports and the current technical picture.
