GBP/USD Forecast for October 17, 2025

GBP/USD

On Thursday, the British pound gained over 30 pips on a rebound from the MACD line support. This morning, the pound remains in a positive mood; however, the Marlin oscillator is now approaching the zero line.

If no profit-taking occurs today, the pound has every chance to continue its advance toward the 1.3525 target. If the day ends with a bearish (black) candle, the technical picture may become muddled within the psychological cycle of market anticipation ahead of the Fed meeting on October 29.

It is also worth noting that the support level of 1.3369 and the MACD line at 1.3393 currently form a support range of 24 pips. Breaking below this zone will be difficult, which means that market participants are likely to seek buying opportunities—perhaps after today's consolidation, or early next week on Monday.

On the four-hour chart, the price is consolidating within a narrow range established in late September. The Marlin oscillator is slightly declining, supporting this sideways movement. We expect a continuation of the current flat phase, which could later lead to another upward leg.
