The report noted similar situations occurred in 2022 and 2024 when Japan took action in the foreign exchange market. The strategists stated that it is worth watching whether US Treasury Secretary Bessenter will mention the need for the Bank of Japan to tighten monetary policy to help stabilize the foreign exchange market during his visit to Tokyo this week. Bessenter previously stated that he will meet separately with Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi and Finance Minister Satsuki Katayama in Tokyo on Tuesday.Google (GOOG.O): Launches AI-powered Google Finance service across Europe.On May 11th, Goldman Sachs postponed its forecast for the timing of Federal Reserve rate cuts, from September and December of this year to December 2026 and March 2027. The bank noted that high energy prices are likely to keep inflation high. Given that the ongoing Middle East conflict, which has lasted for 10 weeks, has driven up energy prices and led policymakers to remain vigilant about inflation risks, several global brokerages have lowered their expectations for US rate cuts in 2026.

GBP/USD Price Analysis: Dollar Bulls Defend the 20-EMA, with 1.3000 in Sight

  • Failure to break above the 20-EMA will exacerbate the suffering for sterling bulls.

  • The RSI has fallen below 40.00, indicating that there is no hint of divergence and an oversold condition.

  • A location beneath the symmetrical triangle will generate substantial proposals for the cable.

 

After three tumultuous trading days in April, the GBP/USD pair has sensed selling pressure to roughly 1.3167. The pound bulls have been stymied by the 20-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA) around 1.3095.

 

On a four-hour time scale, the cable has settled itself comfortably beneath the symmetrical triangular formation. This will result in significant volume growth for the asset in the future. The chart pattern's top boundary is represented by the March 25 high of 1.3225, while the lower boundary is marked by the March 15 low of 1.3000.

 

 

At 1.3114, the 50-EMA is scaling lower, adding to the downside filters. Additionally, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) (14) has fallen below 40.00, indicating that additional suffering is imminent. The RSI is not indicating divergence or an oversold condition.

 

A break below Tuesday's low of 1.3067 will bolster greenback bulls, and the pair may fall to the March 16 low of 1.3036, followed by psychological support around 1.3000.

 

On the other hand, the asset will march toward Tuesday's high of 1.3167 after breaching the 50-EMA at 1.3114. If the latter is breached, the asset will be pushed towards the round level resistance at 1.3200.
