Trade Review and Trading Recommendations for the British Pound

The test of the 1.3223 level occurred when the MACD indicator had already moved significantly below the zero line, limiting the pair's downward potential. For this reason, I did not sell the pound.

Although the UK economy confirmed its resilience at the beginning of the year, the pound paid little attention to this development. Real GDP expanded by 0.6% in the first quarter, exactly in line with economists' forecasts. Growth was driven by a recovery in the services sector, traditionally the main engine of the UK economy, as well as resilient industrial activity. This positive report from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) provided some relief for traders who have been dealing with rising inflation and increased volatility in the GBP/USD pair.

The focus of global financial markets will now shift to the release of key U.S. economic data. The Consumer Confidence Index is expected to provide insight into the sentiment of American households and their willingness to spend. Data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics on job openings and labor turnover will also be closely watched. These indicators are important gauges of labor market conditions and could significantly influence expectations regarding the Federal Reserve's future monetary policy. In addition, the market will assess the Housing Price Index, which reflects developments in one of the economy's most important sectors. The Chicago PMI will also provide an updated assessment of business activity in the Chicago region's manufacturing sector.

As for my intraday trading strategy, I will primarily rely on the implementation of Scenario No. 1 and Scenario No. 2.

Buy Signal

Scenario No. 1: I plan to buy the pound if the price reaches the entry level around 1.3245 (the green line on the chart), targeting a rise to 1.3291 (the thicker green line on the chart). Around 1.3291, I plan to close long positions and open short positions, targeting a 30–35 point move in the opposite direction. A strong rally in the pound today is likely only if U.S. economic data comes in weaker than expected.

Important: Before buying, make sure the MACD indicator is above the zero line and has just started moving higher.

Scenario No. 2: I also plan to buy the pound if the price tests 1.3220 twice consecutively while the MACD indicator is in oversold territory. This would limit the pair's downward potential and could trigger a bullish reversal. In this case, a rise toward 1.3245 and 1.3291 can be expected.

Sell Signal

Scenario No. 1: I plan to sell the pound after the price breaks below 1.3220 (the red line on the chart), which could trigger a rapid decline in the pair. The key downward target for sellers is 1.3185, where I plan to close short positions and immediately consider opening long positions, targeting a 20–25 point rebound. Selling pressure on the pound is likely to return today if U.S. economic data comes in stronger than expected.

Important: Before selling, make sure the MACD indicator is below the zero line and has just started moving lower.

Scenario No. 2: I also plan to sell the pound if the price tests 1.3245 twice consecutively while the MACD indicator is in overbought territory. This would limit the pair's upward potential and could trigger a bearish reversal. In this case, a decline toward 1.3220 and 1.3185 can be expected.

Chart Guide

  • Thin green line: Entry price for long positions.
  • Thick green line: Suggested Take Profit level or an area to manually lock in profits, as further gains above this level are considered unlikely.
  • Thin red line: Entry price for short positions.
  • Thick red line: Suggested Take Profit level or an area to manually lock in profits, as further declines below this level are considered unlikely.
  • MACD Indicator: When entering the market, pay close attention to overbought and oversold conditions.

Important: Beginner Forex traders should exercise extreme caution when entering the market. It is generally advisable to stay out of the market before the release of major fundamental reports to avoid sharp price fluctuations. If you decide to trade during news releases, always use stop-loss orders to minimize potential losses. Trading without stop-loss orders can quickly result in losing your entire deposit, especially if you trade large position sizes without applying proper money management.

Finally, remember that successful trading requires a clear trading plan, such as the one outlined above. Making spontaneous trading decisions based solely on current market conditions is generally a losing strategy for intraday traders.
