Forecast for GBP/USD on June 4, 2025

On the hourly chart, the GBP/USD pair showed no interest in movement on Tuesday. Throughout the day, bulls and bears launched weak attacks, none of which led to anything significant. The movement was horizontal, and the 161.8% retracement level at 1.3520 is being ignored by traders. Thus, no trading signals should be expected around it today.

The wave situation clearly indicates the continuation of the "bullish" trend. The last upward wave broke above the previous wave's peak, and the last downward wave did not break below the previous low. It will be hard for the bulls to count on further growth without new announcements from Donald Trump about increasing or introducing new import tariffs. However, the U.S. president seems ready to keep escalating tariffs and take the trade war with China to a new level. Thus, bulls have reasons for fresh attacks this week.

On Tuesday, there was no news from the U.K., but one report was released in the U.S., which no one really paid attention to. Just a reminder — this week a full set of U.S. labor market and unemployment data will be released. Yesterday it was revealed that the number of job openings in April rose from 7.2 million to 7.391 million, exceeding the forecast of 7.1 million. Thus, traders expected a decline in this indicator due to the trade war, but in fact, the figure grew. This is a very positive signal for the American economy — but unfortunately, not for the dollar or the bears. The ADP, ISM, Nonfarm Payrolls reports, and the unemployment rate, all set to be released later this week, could also bring positive numbers. But will they be enough for the bears to launch an attack? Let me remind you — there is very little interest in buying dollars right now due to Trump's new trade policy (if it can even be called a trade war). Thus, in my opinion, even good labor market data may not help the dollar much.

On the 4-hour chart, the pair consolidated above the 100.0% Fibonacci level at 1.3435 and then bounced off it from above. Thus, the upward movement may continue toward the next retracement level of 127.2% at 1.3795. No divergences are forming today on any indicator. The bullish trend currently leaves little room for doubt, but a close below 1.3435 would allow expectations for a decline toward the 76.4% retracement level at 1.3118.

Commitments of Traders (COT) Report:

This image is no longer relevant

Sentiment among the "Non-commercial" category of traders became much more "bullish" over the last reporting week. The number of long positions held by speculators increased by 14,247, while the number of short positions rose by only 2,861. Bears have long lost their advantage in the market. The gap between long and short positions is now 35,000 in favor of the bulls: 102,000 vs. 67,000.

In my view, the pound still faces prospects for decline, but recent events are reversing the market trend in the long term. Over the past three months, the number of long positions has risen from 65,000 to 102,000, while the number of shorts has decreased from 76,000 to 67,000. Under Trump, faith in the dollar has weakened, and the COT reports show there's little desire among traders to buy the dollar. Thus, no matter how the news background looks in general, for now, the dollar is only falling due to the events surrounding Trump.

News Calendar for the U.S. and U.K.:

  • United Kingdom — S&P Services PMI (08:30 UTC)
  • United States — ADP Employment Change (12:15 UTC)
  • United States — S&P Services PMI (13:45 UTC)
  • United States — ISM Services PMI (14:00 UTC)

On Wednesday, the economic calendar contains four entries, with the ISM index standing out. The news background could have a medium-strength impact on trader sentiment today, especially in the second half of the day.

GBP/USD Forecast and Trading Advice:

Trading signals today should not be sought around the 1.3520 level. It is better to use other hourly chart levels if the price reaches them.

The Fibonacci grids are drawn based on 1.3205–1.2695 on the hourly chart and 1.3431–1.2104 on the 4-hour chart.
