The legend in the InstaSpot team!
Legend! You think that's bombastic rhetoric? But how should we call a man, who became the first Asian to win the junior world chess championship at 18 and who became the first Indian Grandmaster at 19? That was the start of a hard path to the World Champion title for Viswanathan Anand, the man who became a part of history of chess forever. Now one more legend in the InstaSpot team!
Borussia is one of the most titled football clubs in Germany, which has repeatedly proved to fans: the spirit of competition and leadership will certainly lead to success. Trade in the same way that sports professionals play the game: confidently and actively. Keep a "pass" from Borussia FC and be in the lead with InstaSpot!
The GBP/USD pair also traded lower on Friday for the same reasons as the EUR/USD pair. The dollar received minimal market support due to decent macroeconomic data from across the ocean, but this growth does not open any new prospects. Unfortunately, the U.S. currency remains under the pressure of Donald Trump's trade policy, and the market has a clear aversion to the dollar. Few are willing to risk investing in the dollar or the American economy amid the complete economic uncertainty, which all Federal Reserve's Monetary Committee members are now openly acknowledging. From a technical standpoint, the price has consolidated below the new ascending trendline, but even this fact means absolutely nothing. If, on Monday, Trump gets caught up in another scandal or raises tariffs again, the U.S. dollar will quickly and vigorously resume its decline despite consolidating below the trendline. Unfortunately, the "Trump factor" remains in force and is impossible to predict.
Two trading signals were formed in the 5-minute timeframe on Friday. During the Asian session, the price rebounded from the 1.3580–1.3592 area, but by the opening of the European session, the price had barely moved away from the signal formation point. Therefore, sell trades could be opened confidently. The nearest target level of 1.3518 was reached during the American session, where profits could be taken. Formally, a buy signal formed around this level, but selling the dollar on decent U.S. data was hardly advisable.
In the hourly timeframe, the GBP/USD pair reacts mainly to Trump and remains quite skeptical of his policies. There are signs of reduced trade tension, but the market does not feel a wave of optimism, and there are far more signs of renewed escalation. Therefore, as before, the market uses any opportunity to sell the dollar rather than buy it. This will continue until the market sees real signs of the end of the trade war.
On Monday, the GBP/USD pair may continue a slight downward movement if Trump does not again interfere with the dollar's strengthening.
On the 5-minute timeframe, the levels to trade are: 1.3043, 1.3102–1.3107, 1.3203–1.3211, 1.3259, 1.3329–1.3331, 1.3421–1.3443, 1.3518, 1.3580–1.3592, 1.3652–1.3660, 1.3695. On Monday, no significant events or reports are scheduled in the U.S. or the UK, so trading will primarily rely on technical signals. If Trump does not take the stage again, we will likely see low volatility and movements close to flat.
