USD/JPY trades at 159.359 after gaining 41 pips from Monday's open, with Tokyo inflation data and US GDP the key tests ahead.
GBPUSD opened Monday at 1.33092 and closed Friday at 1.34342, gaining 125 pips for a 0.94% weekly advance. The pair traded in a relatively tight range throughout the week with no single economic event dominating price action.
The upcoming week presents an unusually quiet calendar for GBPUSD traders. No high-impact events from either the UK or US are scheduled for the next five sessions, leaving the pair vulnerable to technical flows and cross-currency movements.
Without major data releases or central bank communications, traders will likely focus on broader market sentiment, any unexpected geopolitical developments, and spillover effects from other major currency pairs.
In the absence of scheduled catalysts, GBPUSD will likely continue its recent range-bound behavior. If the pair holds above 1.3400 early in the week, the recent high near 1.3463 becomes the next reference point. A break below 1.3400 would bring the previous week's low at 1.3302 back into focus.
Current positioning shows 50.2% of traders long and 49.8% short as of Sunday evening. This nearly balanced sentiment reflects the lack of clear directional catalysts and suggests the market is waiting for fresh fundamental drivers before committing to a trend.
The 1.3400 psychological level serves as the immediate pivot point for the week. Above it, last week's high at 1.3463 offers resistance. Below it, the 1.3300 round number and last week's low at 1.3302 provide support references. These are observation levels, not entry signals.
