Trade Analysis and Tips for the British Pound

The price test at 1.3350 occurred when the MACD indicator had moved significantly below the zero mark, limiting the pair's downward potential.

Overall, last Friday was marked by calm in the financial markets, which is quite understandable. Traditionally, the approach of important holidays such as Independence Day in the U.S. leads to reduced trading activity. Many market participants prefer to take a break, lock in profits, or simply rest, which naturally decreases trading volumes and, consequently, volatility.

Today's trading session promises to be more interesting for the GBP/USD pair, as fresh data on the UK's PMI Construction Index will be released in European markets. Analysts forecast weak figures, which are expected to exert negative pressure on the British pound. This published report could become a key factor influencing the pair's near-term direction, as the construction sector is an important indicator of the overall state of the economy, reflecting levels of investment, employment, and consumer confidence. Weak construction PMI data, indicating a slowdown in activity, a decrease in new orders, or job cuts, may heighten concerns about the prospects for the British economy. Such negative signals typically deter traders and prompt them to reduce their positions in the pound sterling.

Regarding the intraday strategy, I will primarily rely on scenarios No. 1 and No. 2.

Buy Scenarios

• Scenario No. 1: I plan to buy the pound today at an entry point around 1.3344 (green line on the chart), targeting a rise to 1.3371 (thicker green line on the chart). At 1.3371, I plan to exit long positions and open short positions in the opposite direction (aiming for a move of 30-35 pips back from that level). You can only expect the pound to rise today after positive data. Important! Before purchasing, ensure that the MACD indicator is above the zero mark and just beginning its rise from it.
• Scenario No. 2: I also plan to buy the pound today if there are two consecutive tests of the price 1.3324 while the MACD indicator is in the oversold area. This will limit the pair's downside potential and lead to an upward market reversal. You can expect growth towards opposing levels 1.3344 and 1.3371.

Sell Scenarios

• Scenario No. 1: I plan to sell the pound today after breaking the level of 1.3324 (red line on the chart), which will lead to a quick decline in the pair. The key target for sellers will be 1.3300, where I plan to exit shorts and open longs immediately in the opposite direction (aiming for a move of 20-25 pips back from that level). Bad news will increase pressure on the pound. Important! Before selling, ensure that the MACD indicator is below the zero mark and just beginning its decline from it.
• Scenario No. 2: I also plan to sell the pound today if there are two consecutive tests of the price 1.3344 while the MACD indicator is in the overbought area. This will limit the pair's upward potential and lead to a downward market reversal. You can expect a decline to the opposite levels of 1.3324 and 1.3300.

What the Chart Shows:

• The thin green line represents the entry price for buying the trading instrument;
• The thick green line is the estimated price at which to set Take Profit or lock in profits, as further upward movement is unlikely above this level;
• The thin red line is the entry price for selling the trading instrument;
• The thick red line is the estimated price at which to set Take Profit or lock in profits, as further downward movement is unlikely below this level;
• The MACD indicator. It is important to base market entries on overbought and oversold zones.

Important: Beginning traders in the Forex market must make entry decisions very cautiously. Before the release of significant fundamental reports, it is best to stay out of the market to avoid sudden price fluctuations. If you decide to trade during news releases, always set stop orders to minimize losses. Without stop orders, you can quickly lose your entire deposit, especially if you do not use money management and trade with large volumes.

And remember, for successful trading, it is necessary to have a clear trading plan, similar to the one I have presented above. Making spontaneous trading decisions based on the current market situation is fundamentally a losing strategy for intraday traders.
