The GBP/USD pair also showed no interesting movements on Friday. Like the euro, the British pound remained very close to a flat range. However, the British currency still maintains a slight upward bias. The pound shows excellent resilience against the dollar and hardly declines against the U.S. currency. For most of last week, we also observed total flat trading with low volatility. Trump took a week-long pause from introducing new tariffs and sanctions, and important reports, such as business activity and durable goods orders, did not interest the market. Thus, the next movement can be expected when Trump delivers a new informational bomb to the markets. Recently, Trump has started to soften his rhetoric toward China and has assured that future relations between the countries will be excellent and that a trade deal will undoubtedly be reached. Meanwhile, China stated that it is not conducting negotiations with Trump.
On the 5-minute timeframe on Friday, the price first consolidated below the 1.3289-1.3297 area, then above it, and later bounced off it four times from the top side. The maximum movement of the pair after the buy signals was approximately 25 pips. Thus, it was challenging to earn profits on Friday due to the lack of movement, but serious losses were also unlikely.
In the hourly timeframe, the GBP/USD pair could have started a downward trend long ago, but the market continues to focus solely on Trump, so the pound continues its steady upward climb. Thus, future movements of the pair continue to depend only on the American president and his decisions. Perhaps the market's attitude toward news will begin to change in the future, but nothing of the sort is observed.
The GBP/USD pair may move sideways on Monday with a slight upward bias. The market has again demonstrated that it is not ready to buy the dollar until the global trade war de-escalates. Therefore, a sideways or upward movement should be expected.
On the 5-minute timeframe, you can currently trade between the 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, and 1.3580–1.3598. No significant events are scheduled for Monday in the U.S. or the U.K. Therefore, it is unlikely to expect strong, trending movements today. However, one should remember that Trump could provoke a "market flight" anytime.
