We were probably not alone last year, suspecting Sterling intended parity with the US Dollar and the Euro. But despite the best efforts of several UK Prime Ministers during 2022, the Pound resolutely refused to collapse. Perhaps the current incumbent of Downing St shall make a “third time lucky” effort in an effort to make a personal success…
In fairness, Sterling has been recovering slowly from last October’s lows, maybe a reflection of the level of trust in UK politicians, following PM Truss’s efforts to destroy the economy. However, this Forex pairing is now getting very close to a “no brainer” trading opportunity as recovery will be difficult to avoid, should the relationship strengthen above 1.2450.
Above such a visual trigger should now make recovery to an initial 1.2858 a fairly confident proposition. Our secondary, should such a level be exceeded, works out at 1.3338, challenging the Blue downtrend which dates back to 2007. Unfortunately, the only sane stop loss level looks like matching the low of 2023 at 1.1840, doubtless wider than most folk would prefer.
If things intend go horribly wrong for GBPUSD, visually below 1.1500 should give early warning for real trouble. Such a drop risks triggering reversal to 1.007 initially with secondary, if broken, at 0.8736.
For now, we are inclined to believe the visuals on the chart, most of which indicate this pairing is due some serious gains.

Our commentary is in two sections. Immediately below are today’s updated comments. If our commentary remains valid, the share can be found in the bottom section which has a RED heading. Hopefully, this will mean you no longer need to flip back through previous reports. HYPERLINKS DISABLED IN THIS VERSION
Please remember, all prices are mid-price (halfway between the Buy and Sell). When we refer to a price CLOSING above a specific level, we are viewing the point where we can regard a trend as changing. Otherwise, we are simply speculating on near term trading targets. Our website is www.trendsandtargets.com.
UPDATE. We often give an initial and a secondary price. If the initial is exceeded, we still expect it to fall back but the next time the initial is bettered, the price should continue to the secondary. The converse it true with price drops.
