GBPUSD daily chart analysis and key resistance zones

The GBPUSD forex pair, commonly referred to by its nickname "Cable," represents the exchange rate between the British Pound Sterling and the US Dollar. It is one of the most liquid and widely traded currency pairs in the forex market, driven by key macroeconomic indicators and central bank policies from both the United Kingdom and the United States. On April 11, 2025, the GBPUSD is positioned ahead of several impactful fundamental events. For the USD, speeches from influential FOMC members such as John Williams and Alberto Musalem are expected to influence market sentiment, especially if the tone is more hawkish, hinting at future interest rate hikes. Additionally, the release of the University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment and Inflation Expectations, along with the PPI and Core PPI, will offer insight into inflationary trends and consumer outlook—key considerations for future Fed decisions. On the UK side, a slate of economic data including monthly GDP, manufacturing production, trade balance, and construction output is set to be released. These will provide a broader view of the UK economy’s performance. A stronger-than-expected showing could support further gains for the pound, especially if the US data signals slowing inflation or dovish undertones from Fed officials.
