GBP/USD Rises to Highest Level Since October 2024

The GBP/USD currency pair recorded a level of 1.3267 today, its highest since October 3, 2024. It has surged by nearly 10% from the low of 1.2100 seen on January 13, 2025, to the peak reached today. The pair is currently hovering around 1.3250, marking a year-to-date gain of approximately 6%.

Recent UK economic data reflects the resilience of the British economy:

  • Monthly GDP grew by 0.5%, exceeding both expectations (0.1%) and the previous reading (0.0%).
  • Monthly industrial production rose by 1.5%, also beating forecasts (0.1%) and the previous figure (-0.5%).
  • Retail sales, as reported by the British Retail Consortium, increased by 0.9%, ahead of expectations (0.7%).
  • The unemployment change came in at 18.7K, lower than the expected 30.3K.

Notably, a key factor driving the bullish momentum for GBP/USD has been the weakness of the U.S. dollar. This is largely due to tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump on multiple countries—especially China—and rising concerns about a potential U.S. recession, which has provided additional upward support for the British pound.

Technical Outlook:

If the pivot point at 1.3216 is broken for the GBP/USD pair, potential support levels include 1.3178, 1.3125, and 1.3087. On the upside, surpassing the pivot could lead to resistance levels at 1.3269, 1.3307, and 1.3360.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) currently stands at around 67, indicating continued positive momentum for GBP/USD. Additionally, the MACD indicator shows the blue line above the orange Signal Line, reinforcing the bullish trend.
