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!

The GBP/USD pair also showed wild movements on Friday, triggered not only by labor market data, but also by unemployment figures, manufacturing sector activity, and new surprises from Donald Trump. On Friday, traders witnessed firsthand how quickly the situation can flip upside down within a matter of hours. Trump spoke about being ready for nuclear war with Russia, introduced new tariffs against 60 countries, the U.S. manufacturing sector once again demonstrated its weakness (further proving the artificial nature of the strong Q2 GDP growth), unemployment rose, and we already discussed Nonfarm Payrolls. That's it. Who now can say that the dollar's recent rise was justified and that it will continue to climb to the top?
The GBP/USD pair remains within a descending channel, but we expect a breakout above it and a new wave of the uptrend that began in January of this year.
On the 5-minute timeframe on Friday, a large number of trading signals were generated, but traders could realistically work with only the very first one. During the European session, the price rebounded quite accurately from the 1.3203–1.3211 area and then moved about 45 pips downward. Since it was best to close any positions (or at least move the Stop Loss to breakeven) before the U.S. data were published, this trade could even have yielded a profit. All subsequent signals made no sense to trade – another "storm" had begun.
On the hourly timeframe, the GBP/USD pair shows that the downward technical correction is still ongoing. However, after Friday's news, we wouldn't bet a dime on the dollar's strength. We expect a breakout above the descending channel and the start of a new downtrend for the U.S. currency.
On Monday, the GBP/USD pair may continue its upward movement. The market will need some time to recover and, once again, start paying attention to technical levels. Some of these levels may need to be adjusted.
On the 5-minute timeframe, you can currently trade using the following levels: 1.3102–1.3107, 1.3203–1.3211, 1.3259, 1.3329–1.3331, 1.3413–1.3421, 1.3466, 1.3518–1.3532, 1.3574–1.3590, 1.3643–1.3652, 1.3682, 1.3763.
No important data or events are scheduled in the UK or the U.S. for Monday, but volatility throughout the day may still be quite high—traders had little time to react to the U.S. data on Friday before the market closed.
