The British Pound is extending its gains against the US Dollar in early European trading on Monday, with GBP/USD approaching 1.3555, fueled by broad USD weakness. Uncertainty surrounding U.S. trade policy and weakening safe-haven flows into the Greenback have contributed to the pair’s bullish tone. Traders are now turning their attention to upcoming UK employment data, expected on Tuesday, for the next directional trigger.
From a technical perspective, the bullish trend remains intact while the pair trades above the 100-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) on the daily timeframe. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) currently holds above the 60 level, suggesting that buyers are in control and that momentum is tilted to the upside.
On the downside:
If GBP/USD breaks decisively above 1.3650, the pair may aim for the January and October 2021 highs. However, a drop below 1.3415 could put the bullish structure at risk, with further declines possibly extending toward the 1.3250–1.3110 zone.
Traders should monitor UK employment data and US inflation expectations, as both could significantly impact market sentiment and interest rate projections from the Fed and Bank of England.
