The Elliott Wave analysis for the GBPUSD daily chart from Trading Lounge highlights a bearish trend in the currency pair, driven by an impulsive wave structure. The current analysis identifies navy blue wave 1 as ongoing, signaling a continuation of the downward momentum within the broader bearish framework.

Currently positioned in gray wave 1, this impulsive movement suggests further price declines as the wave structure develops. The unfolding of navy blue wave 1 underscores the likelihood of sustained bearish pressure on GBPUSD, consistent with the broader trend direction.

The impulsive nature of the wave structure indicates strong, directional moves, supporting expectations for additional downside. An invalidation level is set at 1.34351, representing a crucial point in the analysis.
