GBP Analysis: What is the Next Move for the Pound? One-year High Begs the Question


The two-decade long period of almost no volatility in the major currency markets which lasted throughout the late 1990s until the late 2010s is long gone.

Just looking back at the last 12 months has been a very interesting insight into exactly that.

Throughout the last quarter of 2022, the British pound declined consistently against the US dollar, and commentary surrounding the ills of domestic millstones such as Brexit and the extra cost of doing business for UK firms, high inflation, a cancelled budget from the shortest prime ministerial office in British history, and a cost-of-living crisis with energy and food bills at the top of the agenda pervaded every channel.

By contrast, the US dollar was doing incredibly well against all major currencies. Despite a national debt to GDP ratio of more than double the percentage of that of the United Kingdom and similar challenges faced by many citizens of the United States to those faced by Britain’s populace, inflation in the United States reduced to approximately 6% and the economy appeared to be getting back on track.

Doom and gloom was abound last year, but that suddenly stopped when the British Pound began to enjoy a resurgence.

Now, here we are in the middle of 2023 and the British pound has turned its fortunes around, standing today at a 1-year high against the US dollar.

USD/JPY at the High of the Year


This morning, the Japanese currency weakened to 142.25 yen per US dollar for the first time since November 2022.

This is a consequence of the difference in the monetary policies of the two countries. Last week, the Fed, although it paused in raising the rate, said that it could be raised before the end of the year. On the other hand, the Bank of Japan on Friday maintained its commitment to ultra-soft monetary policy.

The USD/JPY chart shows that the rate is moving within a long-term ascending channel (shown in blue), and today it is near its median line — it can serve as resistance, which can at least slow down the growth of the rate. Or even promote a pullback within the channel shown in yellow.

BTCUSD Analysis: Positivity Has Returned to the Markets, But for How Long?


The price of bitcoin is rising to the highs of June after a sharp drop that happened due to SEC lawsuits against the Binance and Coinbase exchanges.

Fortunately for crypto investors, the situation did not go according to the worst-case scenario. The court did not freeze Binance.US funds, giving the regulator and exchanges the opportunity to find a compromise. But if it does, what kind of compromise will it find and when? It is not surprising that we will be able to witness the massive relocation of crypto companies from the US:

→ To the UK. This week, the House of Lords of England approved the FSMB cryptocurrency regulation project, which has been under consideration since June 2022. Now the document must be approved in Parliament and sent to the king for signature. This month, by the way, venture capital firm a16z announced plans to open its first office in London later this year, citing a more predictable business environment.

→ To the UAE. VARA, the world's first independent regulator of virtual assets, operates there. As of January 2023, there were over 500 cryptocurrency startups operating in Dubai.

→ To Hong Kong, where the Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) approved a loyal licensing regime for virtual asset trading platforms.

→ To Europe, where the principles of regulation of the cryptocurrency market are laid down in Markets in Crypto Assets (MiCA).

Meanwhile, the bitcoin chart shows that the market has formed a false breakout of the USD 25k psychological level. We wrote about this option on June 15th.

Finally, it tested the 1.0970 zone. A high is formed near 1.0970 and the pair is now correcting gains. There was a move below the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the 1.0803 swing low to the 1.0970 high.

The pair is now trading below the 50-hour simple moving average. However, there is a major bullish trend line forming with support near 1.0905.

The next major support is near the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the 1.0803 swing low to the 1.0970 high at 1.0860. A downside break below the 1.0860 support could send the pair toward the 1.0785 level.

Immediate resistance on the EUR/USD chart is near the 50-hour simple moving average at 1.0925. The first major resistance is near the 1.0970 level.

An upside break above the 1.0970 level might send the pair toward the 1.1000 resistance. The next major resistance is near the 1.1040 level. Any more gains might open the doors for a move toward the 1.1080 level.

Why the Price of Bitcoin Rose to USD 30k


Yesterday, the BTC price topped USD 30k for the first time since April. There may be several reasons, among them:

→ Powell's speech to lawmakers on Capitol Hill yesterday. The Fed chief said further rate hikes are a pretty good guess as to where the Fed is heading. The dollar index reacted to his hawkish statement with a fall. At the same time, it pushed up the bitcoin rate against the dollar. In addition, Powell paid tribute to cryptocurrencies, saying that they are stable and adding that the Fed views stablecoins as a form of money;

→ after the negative news background related to the Fed lawsuits, positive events followed, indicating the interest of institutional firms in the US in the crypto market. For example, the BlackRock fund (more than USD 8 trillion under management) filed an application last week to launch an ETF based on bitcoin. And a new cryptocurrency exchange, EDX Markets, backed by Citadel Securities, Fidelity and Schwab, has gone live;

→ change in the balance of supply and demand in the market after the price of bitcoin breaks through the psychological level of USD 25k.

Stocks Are Falling on the Background of the Activity of Central Banks


This week could be the worst for stock markets in 3 months after a series of interest rate hikes by central banks, writes Bloomberg.

The UK and Switzerland raised the rate by 0.25%. While the US Fed has left rates unchanged for now, Jerome Powell said another rate hike or two may be needed in 2023. Higher-than-expected inflation in Japan has also fueled speculation that the BOJ may adjust its super-loose monetary policy.
