GBP/USD - Weak Consumer Confidence - PMIs Lead UK Data Risk

By Andrew Spencer  —  Jan 23 - 09:42 PM

• +0.2% in a 1.2351/1.2388 range - USD slipped on friendly Trump/Xi talks

• BOJ rate decision and upcoming Lunar New Year kept Asia quiet in FX majors

• Flash manufacturing and services PMIs will lead data risk in London

• Consumer confidence fell to -22 the lowest since late 2023: GfK survey

• Data continues the cautious consumer sentiment since the UK budget

• Charts - daily momentum studies rise, 21-day Bollinger bands contract

• 5, 10 & 21-DMAs conflict - weeklies remain bearish - negative setup holds

• Monday's 1.2160 low, then the 1.2100 2025 base are initial major supports

Close above the under pressure 1.2362 21-DMA would be positive for next week
