Sterling Bears Out in Force
Sterling bears are out in force recently. GBP pairs sell off sharply. This reveals strong bearish sentiment. The currency strength indicator highlighted it early. Volume price analysis (VPA) confirmed the weakness.
A worse-than-expected UK manufacturing production figure of -0.4% against a forecast of 0.1% (-0.4% was the figure in December) has given sterling bears a further excuse to sell the currency, with some really nice downtrends in a number of GBP pairs. In addition, industrial production also followed a similar trend coming at -0.7% against a forecast of 0%, and declining further against last month’s number of 0.1%,
The data injected volatility into the sterling pairs, with volatility candles triggering in the faster time frames. Cable managed to find some minor support at 1.4458, before moving lower, and what is significant is that the hourly CSI is showing GBP as likely to be moving steadily lower, and we will have to wait for the US session to see if there is any halt to the current bearish momentum.
Currency Strength Indicator Reveals the Sell-Off
The currency strength indicator ranked GBP low against majors. It dropped quickly in rankings. This signaled heavy selling pressure. Quantum’s indicator on MT5 or NinjaTrader made the decline obvious. Extremes warned of continued downside.
VPA Confirmation of Bearish Momentum
Volume price analysis (VPA) backed the bearish view. Down candles widened with rising volume. This showed conviction from sellers. Low volume bounces confirmed no buying support. Quantum Trend Monitor stayed aligned short.
Trading Implications
Bears in force favor short GBP positions. Watch GBP/USD or GBP/JPY for continuation. Pullbacks offer entries on volume rejection. Anna Coulling’s VPA approach with Quantum tools avoids traps in sentiment-driven moves.

The Bank of England: Its Remit and Impact on the UK Economy
The Bank of England (BOE) is the UK’s central bank. Founded in 1694, it manages monetary policy. Its remit shapes the economy. Traders watch BOE decisions closely. They drive GBP volatility. Volume price analysis (VPA) helps navigate reactions.
Primary Remit: Price Stability
The BOE’s main goal is 2% inflation (CPI target). Set by government since 1997. Low, stable inflation supports growth. High inflation erodes purchasing power. BOE uses interest rates to control it. Hikes cool demand. Cuts stimulate spending.
VPA confirms market response—high volume on GBP moves post-decision shows conviction.
Secondary Objective: Supporting Growth and Employment
The BOE also supports government economic policy. This includes sustainable growth and high employment. It balances inflation target with broader goals. Forward guidance signals future moves.
Quantum currency strength indicator ranks GBP on policy shifts. Matrix reveals relational impacts.
Independence and Tools
Independent for rate setting since 1997. This insulates from politics. Tools include rates, quantitative easing (QE), and asset purchases. Decisions from Monetary Policy Committee (MPC).
Impact on GBP and Markets
Hawkish BOE (hikes) strengthens GBP. Dovish (cuts) weakens it. News spikes create volatility. VPA spots real moves—high volume validates direction.
