GBP/USD Is This the Last Dip Before 1.37?

166
🔹 1. Price Action & Technical Structure (Weekly & Daily Charts)
Price has broken above the ascending channel highlighted on the weekly chart.
The 1.3545 area is currently acting as dynamic resistance — a weekly close above it is crucial to confirm a breakout.
Below, we find a bullish order block (demand zone) around 1.3340 – 1.3280, aligning with the 0.5 Fibonacci level.
RSI is neutral, showing no bearish divergence at the moment.

🔹 2. COT Report (Commitment of Traders)

USD Index:

Non-commercial traders: +823 new longs, +363 new shorts → Neutral to bullish positioning.
Commercials remain net short, indicating short-term USD strength potential.

EUR FX (inverse proxy for USD):

Significant reduction in speculative long positions → Less bullish pressure on the Euro, favoring USD strength.

🔹 3. Sentiment
67% of retail traders are short GBP/USD vs. 33% long.
This is a bullish contrarian signal, suggesting potential continuation toward the 1.36–1.37 zone.

🔹 4. Seasonality
Historically, June tends to be bearish for GBP/USD over the past 5–10 years.
However, the first 10 days of the month often start with bullish momentum before correcting in the second half.

🔹 5. Economic Calendar
Today: Construction PMI (GBP), ECB Press Conference (EUR), Unemployment Claims (USD).
Tomorrow: High potential volatility across all USD pairs.
Watch out — upcoming macro data may strongly impact breakout confirmation.

🔹 6. Operational Outlook
Primary Bias: Neutral/Bullish with potential for a technical pullback.

📍 Key Levels:

Resistance: 1.3545 – 1.3593 (Supply zone + 0.0 fib)
Support: 1.3340 – 1.3280 (OB + 0.5/0.618 fib)

🧠 Scenario 1 – Bullish Continuation:

Retest of 1.3340 → long targeting 1.3590 / 1.3680
Confirmation on daily close above 1.3550

🔻 Scenario 2 – Bearish Retracement:

Rejection below 1.3550 + USD macro strength → drop toward 1.3280
If that breaks → extended move to 1.3170 / 1.3150
