GBP/USD Surges Above Key Level Amid Dollar Weakness: PMI Data in Focus

GBP/USD has broken free from its recent trading range, surging to its highest level since early February above the 1.2700 mark. The rally has been fueled by broad-based selling pressure on the US Dollar (USD), with investors turning their attention to PMI data releases from both the UK and the US.

The weakening demand for the USD was evident during Asian trading hours on Thursday, driven by an improving market mood. Despite minimal movement in Wall Street's main indexes for the day, the release of positive earnings figures from Nvidia after the closing bell attracted risk flows, further dampening demand for the greenback.

Today's release of the German Flash Manufacturing PMI, indicating a contraction in industry expansion with a reading of 42.3, has implications not only for the Euro but also for GBP pairs. The disappointing figures could exert downward pressure on both the EUR/USD and GBP/USD pairs, potentially leading to a correction as traders reassess their positions in light of the economic outlook.

Given the current market dynamics, GBP/USD traders should remain vigilant and prepared to adjust their positions accordingly. While the pair has experienced a strong bullish impulse, there is a growing consensus among market participants for a retracement before potentially witnessing a new bullish wave.

As such, traders should closely monitor key support and resistance levels, as well as upcoming economic data releases, to gauge the pair's next moves. A retracement could offer opportunities for traders to enter or add to long positions, while also allowing for profit-taking for those who have already benefited from the recent rally.
