On the hourly chart, the GBP/USD pair once again surged upward, breaking through a slew of levels and resistance zones. At this point, the British pound has risen by 220 points, and the price is approaching the 1.3151 level. A consolidation above this level will increase the likelihood of continued growth toward the next Fibonacci corrective level of 161.8% – at 1.3249. A rebound from the 1.3151 level would suggest a slight pullback.

The last completed downward wave failed to break the previous low, while the new upward wave easily surpassed the previous peak. Thus, a bullish trend is currently unfolding. Most traders still refuse to buy the dollar regardless of the economic data because Donald Trump keeps introducing new tariffs, which are expected to hit U.S. and global economic growth in the future. For the bullish trend to turn bearish, the pair must consolidate below 1.2865.

The news background for the pound on Wednesday was the same as for the euro. As a result, both pairs showed strong gains, which are still ongoing. By tomorrow, the euro and the pound could rise another 100–150 points, similar to what we saw in early March. I originally intended to say that Friday would be very important for the dollar—but now I don't see the point. The dollar once again plummeted thanks to Donald Trump, making reports like Nonfarm Payrolls, the unemployment rate, and even Jerome Powell's speech practically irrelevant. These could only make matters worse. If the Fed Chair starts talking about a slowing economy, recession, or labor market challenges—and the market senses the Fed is preparing for rate cuts—it will only further sink the dollar. And if the NFP or unemployment figures come in worse than expected, the dollar could collapse by another hundred points. In my view, yesterday's tariffs are not Trump's final "gift" to the dollar.

On the 4-hour chart, the pair retains its bullish trend. I don't expect a strong decline in the pound unless the price closes below the rising channel. A rebound from the 23.6% Fibonacci level at 1.3157 could favor the dollar, but honestly, the dollar doesn't stand much of a chance right now. A bullish divergence in the CCI indicator signaled a potential rise, though that wasn't the cause of the rally—it was simply a side note.

Commitments of Traders (COT) Report:

The sentiment among "Non-commercial" traders became more bullish last week. The number of long positions held by speculators rose by 13,075, while short positions decreased by 1,806. Bears have lost their market advantage. The gap between long and short positions is now nearly 44,000 in favor of the bulls: 109,000 vs. 65,000.

In my opinion, the pound still has downward potential, but recent events may lead the market to shift in the long term. Over the past three months, long positions have grown from 98,000 to 109,000, while shorts dropped from 78,000 to 65,000. More significantly, over the past eight weeks, longs increased from 59,000 to 109,000, and shorts decreased from 81,000 to 65,000. Let me remind you—those are "eight weeks of Trump's rule."

Economic Calendar (U.S. & UK):

• U.S. – Nonfarm Payrolls change (12:30 UTC)
• U.S. – Unemployment Rate (12:30 UTC)
• U.S. – Average Hourly Earnings (12:30 UTC)
• U.S. – Fed Chair Jerome Powell's speech (15:25 UTC)

Friday's calendar contains several key events, but for today, the only major item is the U.S. ISM Services PMI. Still, I believe none of these supposedly critical reports will matter for the dollar at this stage. They may influence sentiment slightly, but that's about it.

GBP/USD Forecast and Trader Tips:

I wouldn't recommend selling the pair amid this strong rally. Of course, the dollar won't fall forever, but right now it's even hard to identify levels from which a decline might start. Buying is an option if the price consolidates above 1.3003 on the hourly chart, targeting 1.3151 and 1.3249.

Fibonacci levels are drawn from 1.2809 to 1.2100 on the hourly chart and from 1.2299 to 1.3432 on the 4-hour chart.
