On Monday, the GBP/USD pair rose by 130 pips. Such was the "boring Monday" without a macroeconomic report or important speech. The pound sterling gained more than one cent out of nowhere — a reflection of the pound's behavior over recent months. The pound is not rising for any specific reason. It is increasing simply because the dollar keeps falling. And the U.S. dollar is falling for only one reason — Donald Trump. One could debate endlessly whether one person can dominate the markets for an extended period. But, as practice shows, he can.
Traders continue to ignore almost all macroeconomic reports. The dollar still refuses to rise, even when there are fundamental and macroeconomic grounds for it. The British currency may post another round of growth even in the complete absence of news. Overall, the pound sterling has been rising more strongly than the euro.
Fairly good trading signals were also formed on Monday in the 5-minute timeframe. In the morning, the price very precisely bounced off the 1.3289–1.3297 area, and later, during the U.S. trading session, it broke through the 1.3365 level and reached 1.3421 by evening. Thus, novice traders could have opened long positions in the morning and closed them in the evening, realizing a profit of about 90 pips.
On the hourly timeframe, the GBP/USD pair could have long since started a downward trend, but the market continues to focus solely on Trump. As a result, sterling continues to climb steadily. Therefore, the pair's future movements still depend entirely on the American president and his decisions—and nothing else. Perhaps the market's attitude toward news will change in the future, but for now, there are no signs of that happening.
On Tuesday, the GBP/USD pair may pull back downward. However, seeing yet another unexplained rise in the pound would not be surprising either.
On the 5-minute timeframe, trading can currently be based on the following levels: 1.2848–1.2860, 1.2913, 1.2980–1.2993, 1.3043, 1.3102–1.3107, 1.3145–1.3167, 1.3203, 1.3289–1.3297, 1.3365, 1.3421–1.3440, 1.3488, 1.3537, 1.3580–1.3598. No significant events are scheduled in the UK for Tuesday. The first report from the "all about the U.S. labor market" series will be released in the U.S., although it is unlikely to have a major impact. Yesterday, the pair rose by 130 pips without any particular reason. If the JOLTS report is strong today, let's see how much the dollar will strengthen.
