GBPUSD Weekly Outlook - Week of April 6, 2026
Week-in-Review
Last Week: High: 1.2755 | Low: 1.2658 | Close: 1.2728 | Change: +0.5%
Cable consolidated in tight range, reflecting market indecision ahead of key US data. Rejected from 1.2750 supply zone twice, suggesting distribution. Currently in late Accumulation / early Markup transition. BOE's cautious stance (no rate cuts imminent) provides floor but lacks bullish catalyst.
MCM State: Accumulation-to-Markup transition zone.
Supply/Demand Zones
- 1.2745-1.2765 SUPPLY (Strong): Double-top resistance. Validity: 8/10
- 1.2665-1.2680 DEMAND (Strong): Weekly demand base. Validity: 8/10
