A sharp dollar downturn, triggered by a temporary ceasefire in the Middle East, was the main driver behind this rally. But fast-forward to Friday, and bulls are clearly losing their edge. The market is pocketing gains ahead of the weekend, unwilling to hold long positions in an uncertain geopolitical landscape.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>The two-week truce reached on Tuesday took a sledgehammer to demand for the greenback as a safe haven. Before that, the US currency had been riding high, boosted by the conflict\u2014America&#8217;s status as a net energy exporter made it less exposed to oil shocks than Europe or the UK. With risk premiums deflating, investors began to unwind their long dollar bets, handing GBPUSD a welcome lift.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>But don&#8217;t mistake this agreement for a lasting solution. Direct talks are set to begin in Islamabad over the weekend, and the market is fully aware that a single slip-up could reverse everything in a heartbeat, sending the greenback surging again.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>On top of everything, the United Kingdom has its own troubles. The British economy is stuck in a stagflationary rut: <a href=\"https:\/\/marketcheese.com\/indicator\/uk-composite-pmi\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">March business activity<\/a> hit a six-month low, while energy-driven price pressures keep mounting.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Taking a technical snapshot, we see that Friday&#8217;s correction is in focus. A daily candle on April 10, 2026, shows a clear pullback in the pair after a sharp run-up in the previous days\u2014classic profit-taking ahead of the weekend, with sellers stepping in near resistance at 1.34400. The Chaikin Oscillator tells a similar story: it is still positive and climbing, yet the pace is slowing down. This points to fading buying momentum beneath the surface. Concurrently, the Stochastic Oscillator is ripping higher and edging dangerously close to overbought territory. This is a flashing yellow light\u2014technical overheating could easily trigger a short-term retreat or a period of flat consolidation in the coming days.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>With that in mind, here&#8217;s the trading plan for those ready to act:<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Sell GBPUSD at the current price (1.34220). Place Take profit at 1.33300. Set Stop loss at 1.35000.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>This forecast is valid from April 9 till April 16, 2026.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Market analysis by financial analysts and experienced traders.
