GBP/USD Growth – Breakout on News Momentum

282
GBP/USD has strongly rebounded from the immediate support at 1.3490, holding above the trendline. This momentum is driving price action closer to the key resistance at 1.3650, where profit-taking pressure may emerge. A clear breakout above this level would confirm and extend the short-term bullish trend.

On the news side, the dovish remarks from Fed Chair Jerome Powell at Jackson Hole weakened the USD, providing a strong push for GBP/USD to break above 1.3500. In addition, markets are awaiting U.S. PMI data and the Fed’s upcoming policy direction, both of which could further support the pound’s upward momentum.

Suggested strategy: Traders may consider buying near the immediate support zone, setting a short-term target at 1.3650, with a further extension to 1.3720 if the breakout holds. A stop-loss should be placed below 1.3390 to limit risks in case of a trend reversal.
