GBP/USD: March 14th. UK Economic Data Fails to Impress

On the hourly chart, GBP/USD retraced to 1.2931 on Thursday, where bearish momentum faded. Another test of this level occurred today, but overall, the pound has been moving sideways over the past few days. A break below 1.2931 would allow for a decline toward 1.2865 and 1.2810, while a rebound from this level could push the pair toward the 127.2% corrective level at 1.3003.

The wave structure is absolutely clear. The last completed downward wave failed to break the previous low, while the last upward wave broke the previous peak. This suggests that a bullish trend remains in place. The pound has shown strong growth recently—perhaps even excessively strong. The fundamental background is not strong enough to justify continuous buying pressure without corrections or pauses. However, most traders avoid buying the U.S. dollar regardless of economic data, as Donald Trump keeps imposing new tariffs, which will eventually slow U.S. and global economic growth.

Thursday's fundamental data was mixed, while Friday's morning reports were clear-cut. The UK released its first and last major reports for the week, revealing that GDP for January declined by 0.1% month-over-month, against expectations of a 0.1% increase. Industrial production volumes dropped by 0.9% month-over-month, while forecasts pointed to only a 0.1% decline. These figures provided a logical reason for bears to take control, yet after two weeks of pound appreciation, there has been no correction, pullback, or response to economic data in favor of the dollar.

The 1.2931 level is not strong enough to act as an insurmountable barrier for the market. The issue lies in traders' lack of interest in buying the U.S. dollar—which remains absent. The reason continues to be U.S. foreign policy and Donald Trump's actions.

On the four-hour chart, GBP/USD continues to rise after consolidating above the 50.0% Fibonacci level at 1.2861. A strong pound decline is unlikely unless prices close below the upward channel. The CCI indicator has formed a bearish divergence, but this has not yet affected bullish positioning. A rebound from 1.2994 could trigger a decline toward 1.2861, but there are no sellers in the market.

Commitments of Traders (COT) Report:

This image is no longer relevant

The Non-commercial traders' sentiment has become less bearish over the last reporting week. The number of long positions increased by 7,777, while the number of short positions decreased by 6,334. Bears have lost their market advantage. The gap between long and short positions has now widened to nearly 20,000 in favor of bulls: 82,000 long vs. 63,000 short.

I believe that GBP/USD still has downward potential, but recent developments may force a long-term market reversal. Over the past three months, the number of long positions declined from 98,000 to 81,000, while the number of short positions dropped from 78,000 to 63,000. Over time, professional traders may reduce long positions or increase shorts, as most bullish factors for the pound have already played out. However, a sudden shift in sentiment toward the U.S. economy due to Donald Trump may deter traders from buying the dollar or selling the pound.

Economic Calendar for the U.S. and the UK:

  • UK – GDP Change for January (07:00 UTC)
  • UK – Industrial Production Change (07:00 UTC)
  • U.S. – University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment Index (14:00 UTC)

Friday's economic calendar includes three key events, two of which have already been released. The impact of fundamental data on market sentiment for the rest of the day is expected to be limited.

GBP/USD Forecast and Trading Recommendations:

Selling the pair is possible today after a rebound from 1.2994 on the four-hour chart or after a close below 1.2931 on the hourly chart, with targets at 1.2865 and 1.2810. Buying opportunities arise after a rebound from 1.2931 on the hourly chart, with a target of 1.2994.

Fibonacci levels are drawn from 1.2809–1.2100 on the hourly chart and from 1.2299–1.3432 on the four-hour chart.
