  • Final UK GDP reading is the only real data of note.
  • US weakness may allow cable to drift higher.

GBP/USD Pushing Higher Amid Broad Weakness in the Greenback

A slow start in European trade today with investors still deciding if last week’s risk-on rally was justified by changing fundamentals or just a bear market rally after months of heavy losses. The changing narrative away from inflation concerns to recession fears is weighing on the US dollar via lower US Treasury yields. While the greenback will retain some underlying strength, limiting any downside it is getting harder to see the USD pushing appreciably higher, even against the Japanese Yen. Ten-year US Treasuries currently yield 3.17% and look likely to remain within a 3.00% to 3.48% range for now.

 

British Pound Latest – GBP/USD Pushes Higher on USD Weakness

 

The British Pound remains fairly listless despite further political woes for the gaff-prone PM Boris Johnson. The PM is struggling to keep the keys to No.10 Downing Street, despite saying over the weekend that he wants to run for three terms, with a growing number of Conservative MPs fed up with the PM’s behavior. However, with no real challenger seen as yet, the PM looks likely to hold onto power for the coming months at least.

GBP/USD is trading either back above 1.2300 and is continuing its drift higher from the June 14 low at 1.1934. The daily chart shows the June 16 engulfing candle -1.1990/1.2406 – containing current price action and this is likely to remain the case in the short term. Cable is nearing in on both the 20- and 50-day simple moving averages and these may also prove difficult to break with any conviction.

Retail trader data show 70.06% of traders are net-long with the ratio of traders long to short at 2.34 to 1. The number of traders net-long is 0.23% higher than yesterday and 2.84% lower from last week, while the number of traders net-short is 0.52% lower than yesterday and 25.04% higher 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. Positioning is more net-long than yesterday but less net-long from last week. The combination of current sentiment and recent changes gives us a further mixed GBP/USD trading bias.

    • Every now and then, a project comes along that gets both traders and developers talking. Movement ($MOVE) is one of those rare cases, and for good reason. In a sea of Layer 2 solutions, $MOVE is taking a completely different approach by combining MoveVM with Ethereum’s EVM bringing the best of both worlds into one ecosystem.   Let’s break it down: $MOVE isn’t just about speed (though it delivers a staggering 145K TPS) or low gas fees (which it has nailed). It’s about the bigger picture—making blockchain scalable, secure, and developer-friendly without breaking the user experience. The Move programming language brings unparalleled security with formal verification, and the fact that Solidity devs can seamlessly migrate to this ecosystem makes it even more powerful.   But what’s really interesting is the market’s reaction. $MOVE launched just recently and is already trading at $0.7552, with a 151% surge in value since listing. The trading volume is climbing fast, and it’s clear that both retail and institutional players are paying attention. This isn’t just a short-term pump; it’s a project with real fundamentals driving its momentum.   What’s also worth noting is how $MOVE is positioning itself within the broader MoveVM ecosystem. With projects like $SUI and $APT showing strong performance, it’s clear that this tech is gaining traction across the board. $MOVE is carving out its space as a leader in the next phase of Layer 2 development.   If you’re keeping tabs on $MOVE, you’ve probably seen the BingX 40,000 $MOVE prize pool eventmaking the rounds. While events like these are great for getting people involved, the real story here is the innovation behind the token. It’s one of those projects where the hype feels justified, and the early momentum is backed by serious technology and vision.   For anyone watching the blockchain space closely, $MOVE isn’t just another listing, it’s a step forward. The question isn’t whether $MOVE will make an impact; it’s how far it can go.
    • Crypto volatility could either make or break you they say, I used to feel this is just a saying but recently I understood what it means. I spend time reading the chart but once I decide to enter the market then red but if I decide to delay entry then I regret it. That eagerness to make your first positive trade won't give me a chance to fully practice what I studied so I deviated from futures trading to staking on some platforms to earn APR or LST. BGBSol, BNSol to name a few but I mostly prefer BGBsol due to the high Apr but that didn't quench my hunger to make that first green trade. I am always told to have a strategy that works for me and a good risk management plan so I decided once my trade is in either +/- 10% then I am good but I am mostly hitting SL which is making my bad trade to outweigh my good trades. This is discouraging but I don't expect to get it easy for now as I am still trying to understand the market and how will I learn trading when I don't practice. I always believe in no pain no gain but I need to start seeing my efforts or I am doing something wrong? How do you start you journey in this industry?
