Forecast for GBP/USD on April 15, 2025
Open trading account Open demo account

On the hourly chart, the GBP/USD pair continued rising on Monday and secured a position above the 1.3139 level. Thus, the upward movement may continue toward the next Fibonacci corrective level at 161.8% – 1.3249. A rebound from this level will favor the U.S. dollar and lead to a decline toward 1.3139. A close above 1.3249 will increase the chances of further growth toward the next level at 1.3357.

The last completed downward wave broke the previous low, and the new upward wave broke the last peak. As I expected, the "bearish" trend never materialized. Market sentiment remains near panic levels, resulting in frequent movements that make it difficult to interpret the current technical picture clearly. However, Donald Trump and his policies continue to force the bears out of the market.

There was no notable news background on Monday, except for Trump's fresh tariff announcements. These sparked a new bullish wave and another drop in the U.S. dollar. This morning, the UK released reports on unemployment and wages, which traders essentially ignored. First, the market remains fully focused on the trade war. Second, the data was uneventful and uninspiring. The unemployment rate remained unchanged at 4.4%, as expected. Average earnings rose by 5.6%, slightly below forecasts. The number of unemployed increased by 18.7K, just below expectations. Therefore, the pound had room to continue its rise—and did so even without help from the statistics. Over the past five days, sterling has gained 500 pips. As of Tuesday morning, I see no signs of a trend reversal.

This image is no longer relevant

On the 4-hour chart, the pair maintains a bullish trend. A close above the 76.4% Fibonacci level at 1.3118 allows for continued growth toward the 100.0% Fibonacci level at 1.3431. There are no emerging divergences on any indicators. Much still depends on Donald Trump's trade policy. I do not expect a strong rebound in the U.S. dollar in the near term—there are not even any graphical signals suggesting this.

Commitments of Traders (COT) Report:

This image is no longer relevant

The sentiment among the "Non-commercial" category became less bullish during the last reporting week. The number of long positions held by speculators decreased by 13,253, while short positions increased by 4,067. Bears have lost their edge in the market. The gap between long and short positions now stands at 18,000 in favor of the bulls: 92,000 vs. 74,000.

In my view, the pound still has room for a decline, but recent developments could cause the market to reverse in the longer term. Over the past 3 months, long positions increased from 80,000 to 92,000, while short positions dropped from 80,000 to 74,000. More importantly, over the last 10 weeks, long positions rose from 59,000 to 92,000, and shorts fell from 81,000 to 74,000.

News Calendar for the U.S. and UK:

  • UK – Unemployment rate (06:00 UTC)
  • UK – Unemployment claims change (06:00 UTC)
  • UK – Average earnings change (06:00 UTC)

Tuesday's economic calendar includes three notable releases that have already been published and turned out to be entirely uninteresting. As a result, the impact of the news background on traders' sentiment will likely be absent for the remainder of the day. News related to the trade war will be influential—if any emerges during the day.

GBP/USD Forecast and Trading Tips:

Selling the pair today is possible after a rebound from the 1.3249 level with a target of 1.3139 on the hourly chart. Buying was possible after a close above 1.2810, with targets at 1.2865 and 1.2931—all of which have been reached. Positions could have been held after a close above 1.3003 with a target at 1.3139—this target has also been hit and exceeded. New long positions can be opened with a target of 1.3249 and, beyond that, 1.3357.

Fibonacci levels:

  • Hourly chart: 1.2809–1.2100
  • 4-hour chart: 1.3431–1.2104
