About GBP/USD
GBP/USD - known as Cable - is the fourth most traded pair and one of the most volatile majors. The name comes from the undersea telegraph cable that once transmitted quotes between London and New York. Cable tends to produce sharp, directional moves on UK data releases and often overshoots technical levels before reversing. Spreads are wider than EUR/USD but still tight enough for scalping.
- Spread
- 0.5–1.5 pip
- Volatility
- Medium–High
- Best Session
- London (07:00–16:00 GMT)
- Key Drivers
- BOE rate decisions, UK CPI and GDP prints, Brexit-related trade developments, US dollar broad strength, risk appetite
Trading Tips
- →UK inflation data (CPI) is frequently the biggest mover of the month - Cable can swing 80–120 pips on a single print.
- →False breakouts are common: wait for a candle close beyond the level before committing to a breakout trade.
- →The London session opens at 07:00 GMT - the first 60 minutes are consistently the most liquid and directional hour of the day.
- →Cable correlates positively with EUR/USD about 75% of the time, but divergences during UK-specific events create unique trading opportunities.
