GBP/USD bias flipped 7 times to weak bullish on October 13, 2026
The pound has spent about three weeks trading inside a range, at times edging up on BRC retail sales data and expectations around hawkish Bank of England views. Price action has also reflected the dollar side, with crude oil strength lifting the dollar and focus on Fed expectations ahead of US CPI, alongside broader geopolitical tensions.
