GBP/USD Analysis - April 8th

This image is no longer relevant

The wave pattern for GBP/USD has also transformed into a bullish, impulsive structure — "thanks" to Donald Trump. The wave formation is nearly identical to that of EUR/USD. Until February 28, we observed the development of a convincing corrective structure that raised no concerns. However, demand for the US dollar then began to fall rapidly. As a result, a five-wave bullish structure was formed. Consequently, we should now expect a three- or five-wave corrective phase, followed by wave 3 of a new global bullish trend segment.

Given that the news background from the UK had no influence on the pound's sharp rally, the conclusion is clear — currency movements are being dictated by Donald Trump. If (theoretically) Trump changes course on trade policy, the trend itself may also reverse — this time to the downside. Therefore, in the coming months (or even years), it will be essential to closely monitor all actions coming from the White House.

The GBP/USD pair dropped by a total of 180 basis points on Monday and rose by 60 points on Tuesday. Let's now take a closer look at the wave picture on the daily chart (at the bottom of the analysis). We have five waves down, five waves up. Both are impulsive structures. Then came a 500-point collapse — what does that represent? If this is the start of wave 2 of a new bullish trend segment, then this wave is already too strong and also looks impulsive. At the same time, the losses of the euro were much more modest. Why did the pound suddenly start losing ground so sharply?

If Donald Trump softens his stance, can the pound expect the bullish trend to continue? In my view, no. And what then? Will a new bearish trend begin? I believe the market is confused. At the moment, wave analysis is less useful than before. Everything depends not just on the general news background, but specifically on developments coming out of the White House. I have no doubt that if Trump continues expanding tariffs, demand for the US dollar will continue to decline. But in that case, the US economy will not just "potentially fall into recession" — it will do so this very year.

The Fed's position also remains unclear. Last Friday, Powell stated that interest rates would remain unchanged until economic statistics begin to show shifts that require regulatory intervention. However, yesterday it was revealed that the Fed is planning an emergency meeting. And why hold such a meeting? Clearly not to raise rates, which means a rate cut might be under discussion. If the Fed resumes policy easing, this could become a strong factor in the formation of bullish wave 3.

General Conclusions

The wave pattern for GBP/USD has transformed. We are now dealing with a bullish, impulsive trend segment. Unfortunately, under Donald Trump, markets may experience many more shocks and reversals that do not conform to wave patterns or any form of technical analysis. Therefore, at present, we should expect a corrective wave set, the magnitude of which will depend on Trump — on how soon the next tariffs are introduced. After that, we can anticipate the formation of bullish wave 3, but only if Trump's stance on trade policy does not change radically.

On the higher wave scale, the wave pattern has also shifted to bullish. We can now expect the development of a bullish trend segment. The nearest targets are 1.2782 and 1.2650.

Core Principles of My Analysis:

  1. Wave structures should be simple and clear. Complex structures are difficult to interpret and often change.
  2. If there is no confidence in what's happening in the market, it's better to stay out.
  3. One can never be 100% certain of the market's direction. Don't forget to use protective Stop Loss orders.
  4. Wave analysis can be combined with other types of analysis and trading strategies.
