GBPUSD: Cable slides under 1.35 handle after triple blow!

207
Cable faces a crucial test at 1.3500 following yesterday's triple blow from disappointing UK PMI data, hawkish comments from Powell, and concerning UK public sector borrowing figures ahead of November's Budget.

In this ThinkMarkets analysis, we break down the key technical levels as GBPUSD loses the round 1.3500 support but remains within its upward channel.

Key focus areas:
  • Immediate Risk: Break below channel support targeting 1.3372 double bottom
  • Critical Level: 1.3335 - invalidation of inverse head & shoulders pattern
  • Fibonacci Support: 61.8% retracement cluster around 1.3340
  • Trading Strategies: Three approaches for the potential breakdown


Key Levels to Watch:
  • Support: 1.3500 (breaking), 1.3450, 1.3372, 1.3340
  • Resistance: 1.3550 bounce target


Bias: Cautiously bearish while below channel support

The pound continues to face domestic headwinds with stalling economic data and fiscal concerns, making any recovery challenging despite potential Fed dovishness.

Cable traders, watch this critical technical juncture closely.
