Sterling Price Outlook: GBP/USD Remains Bearish on Rallies

First Signs of a De-Escalation Trade, Outlook Remains Highly Uncertain

Aside from the US announcing that it will ban oil imports from Russia, who were also partly joined by the UK. The main headline overnight had been reports that the Ukrainian President is no longer insisting on NATO membership, which had been among Russia’s key reasons for invading Ukraine. Additionally, the Ukrainian President also hinted that he was open to a compromise on the status of two breakaway pro-Russian territories. In turn, today’s relief rally appears to be the first signs of a de-escalation trade with equities notably firmer, meanwhile gold and oil prices are under pressure. However, as has been made abundantly clear, headline risk remains elevated with market sentiment able to change on a whim from headline to headline. Moreover, while talks perhaps maybe showing slight signs of a moving in the right direction, gauging the timing of a breakthrough remains incredibly uncertain.

That being said, while the Euro has seen a modest reprieve with the single currency edging back towards the 1.10 handle, the bias remains bearish on rallies. The same can be said for the Pound, which will struggle in an environment of stagflation. In light of the current backdrop, the Bank of England’s most recent inflation forecast already appears outdated amid the latest surge in oil prices. For now, short-covering and technical support in the form of the 200WMA is underpinning GBP/USD, but risks remain lower for a test of the 1.3000 handle.

GBP/USD Client Sentiment Data Signals a Bearish Outlook

Data shows 73.46% of traders are net-long with the ratio of traders long to short at 2.77 to 1. The number of traders net-long is 1.64% higher than yesterday and 9.33% higher from last week, while the number of traders net-short is 12.70% lower than yesterday and 23.22% lower from last week.

We typically take a contrarian view to crowd sentiment, and the fact traders are net-long suggests GBP/USD prices may continue to fall.

Traders are further net-long than yesterday and last week, and the combination of current sentiment and recent changes gives us a stronger GBP/USD-bearish contrarian trading bias.

    • TRON (TRX) is drawing attention as its price fluctuates between $0.16 and $0.17. Technical indicators point to the coin being oversold, suggesting a possible price reversal. With strong community support and recent strategic partnerships, the key question now is whether TRX can break through its resistance or face a pullback. If the coin manages to overcome this hurdle, Tron price could rise to $0.195. TRON Price Overview Current Price Range: TRX is currently trading between $0.16 and $0.17 as per Coinpedia Markets. Key Resistance Level: The immediate resistance is at $0.17. If TRX can surpass this, it could target $0.18, offering a potential 6% increase. Support Levels: In a downward scenario, $0.16 and $0.15 serve as the primary support levels, which could be tested if TRX fails to break through $0.17. Technical Indicators Signal Possible Reversal Relative Strength Index (RSI): The RSI is currently at 24.44, a clear signal that TRX is in the oversold zone. Stochastic Oscillator: Sitting at 4.69, the stochastic value also indicates oversold conditions, typically a signal that buying pressure may increase. SMA Analysis: The 10-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) is slightly below the 100-day SMA, indicating short-term bearishness, although the gap is narrow, leaving room for a potential reversal. Recent Partnership with Chainlink Boosts Optimism Collaboration Announcement: TRON has partnered with Chainlink to integrate the Tron Network into Chainlink’s data feed. Impact on TRON Ecosystem: This move is expected to enhance security and reliability for TRON, as Chainlink will serve as the official oracle for the Tron Foundation. Such a partnership could attract more developers and increase TRON’s value in the long run. Community Excitement: This development has generated significant optimism within the TRON community, as it positions TRX to be a reliable blockchain option for decentralized applications. Analysts’ Take: Potential for a Bullish Breakout Crypto Jack’s Perspective: Popular crypto analyst Crypto Jack, with over 350k followers on X (formerly Twitter), highlighted that TRX appears to be forming an ascending triangle pattern. Price Projection: According to him, if TRX breaks through the resistance at $0.17, it could push the price up to $0.195. Trading Alert: Jack has advised his followers to keep a close watch on TRX, as this bullish pattern could indicate a major price movement soon. Performance Highlights: A Strong Monthly Showing Green Days: TRON has recorded 17 green days over the past month, showing solid market interest and consistent performance. Longer-Term Gains: Over the last six months, TRX has surged 31%, and it remains up by 5% in the past month despite a recent 1.42% weekly dip. RSI Caution: The 14-day RSI on the 1D timeframe now sits at 67, suggesting that TRX could be approaching the overbought zone, though this level also indicates strong buyer momentum. Outlook and Price Prediction: Aiming for $0.20? Breaking Above $0.17: If TRX successfully breaks above the $0.17 resistance, a move toward $0.18 and potentially $0.20 could be in sight. Market Sentiment: Recent buying activity and the Chainlink partnership have boosted confidence, making a Tron price prediction of $0.20 plausible if market conditions remain favorable. Monitoring Resistance Levels: Traders should watch the $0.17 level closely, as clearing this point could signal a continued upward trend for TRX.
