The Pound Sterling (GBP) retreats over 0.11% on Thursday as the Greenback remains steady following a report that the number of Americans applying for unemployment benefits was below estimates last week, an indication of the resilience of the labor market. At the time of writing, GBP/USD trades at 1.3544 after reaching a daily high of 1.3575.

Sterling eases as resilient US labor data steadies the Dollar while UK political risks linger

Financial market sentiment worsened after Nvidia Corp reported earnings and a solid outlook. Nevertheless, the AI rally seems overextended, and market participants are seeking reassurance about the AI outlook. So far, Wall Street has registered losses between 0.28% and 2%.

Initial Jobless Claims in the US for the week ending February 21 rose from 208K to 212K, beneath forecasts of 215K. This and previously released jobs market data during the month revealed some stabilization in the labor market, highlighted by some Federal Reserve (Fed) officials.

Fed Governor Stephen Miran reaffirmed his dovish stance as he is looking for 1% rate cuts this year. He added that “prices right now seem stable,” and he does not think the US has an inflation problem.

Across the pond, in the UK, Prime Minister Keir Starmer is under pressure due to the nomination of Peter Mandelson as ambassador to the US, who has ties to Jeffrey Epstein.

Local elections in Gorton and Danton, located in Greater Manchester, are set to take place. Should Starmer’s Labour Party fail to secure victory, there may be mounting calls for his removal as leader, a headwind for the British Pound.

Aside from this, there is growing speculation that the Bank of England (BoE) will reduce rates in the March meeting, after Governor Andrew Bailey commented that a cut in that date is a “genuinely open question.”

Despite this, Bailey added that services inflation remains high, but on the other hand, the GDP growth was mediocre, and a jump in unemployment in Q4 2025 prompted investors to price in further easing by the UK central bank.

Money markets had priced in a 81% chance for a BoE rate cut in the March 19 meeting, according to Prime Market Terminal.

GBP/USD traders’ focus shifts to Friday’s US Producer Price Index (PPI) data, along with speeches by Federal Reserve officials. In the UK, the calendar is absent except for a speech by BoE Chief Economist Huw Pill.

GBP/USD Price Forecast: Technical outlook

In the daily chart, GBP/USD trades at 1.3517. The pair sits just below the clustered simple moving averages around 1.3540–1.3535, but price is also capped by a descending resistance trend line from 1.3869, leaving the near-term bias neutral with a slight downside tilt. The long-running ascending support line from 1.3035 still underpins the broader uptrend, yet repeated failures along the falling resistance line and the softening Fed Sentiment Index highlight waning bullish momentum and the risk of a deeper pullback if spot slips decisively below the nearby averages.

Initial support emerges around 1.3500, in line with recent lows and just beneath the ascending trend-line zone, with a break exposing the next downside area near 1.3460 and then 1.3400. On the topside, the descending trend line now acts as immediate resistance around 1.3550, followed by last week’s highs near 1.3635 and the 1.3800 region, where prior peaks converge and a sustained break would be needed to revive a clear bullish continuation.

Why LYNO’s Presale Could Trigger the Next Wave of Crypto FOMO After SOL and PEPE

Why LYNO’s Presale Could Trigger the Next Wave of Crypto FOMO After SOL and PEPE

The post Why LYNO’s Presale Could Trigger the Next Wave of Crypto FOMO After SOL and PEPE appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Cryptocirca has never been bereft of hype cycles and fear of missing out (FOMO). The case of Solana (SOL) and Pepe (PEPE) is one of the brightest examples that early investments into the correct projects may yield the returns that are drifting. Today there is an emerging rival in the limelight—LYNO. LYNO is in its presale stage, and already it is being compared to former breakout tokens, as many investors are speculating that LYNO will be the next big thing to ignite the market in a similar manner. Early Bird Presale: Lowest Price LYNO is in the Early Bird presale and costs only $0.050 for each token; the initial round will rise to $0.055. To date, approximately 629,165.744 tokens have been sold, with approximately $31,458.287 of that amount going towards the $100,000 project goal.  The crypto presales allow investors the privilege to acquire tokens at reduced prices before they become available to the general market, and they tend to bring substantial returns in the case of great fundamentals. The final goal of the project: 0.100 per token. This gradual development underscores increasing investor confidence and it brings a sense of urgency to those who wish to be first movers. LYNO’s Edge in a Competitive Market LYNO isn’t just another presale token—it’s a powerful AI-driven cross-chain arbitrage platform designed to deliver real utility and long-term growth. Operating across 15+ blockchains, LYNO’s AI engine analyzes token prices, liquidity, volume, and gas fees in real-time to identify the most profitable trade routes. It integrates with bridges like LayerZero, Wormhole, and Axelar, allowing assets to move instantly across networks, so no opportunity is missed.  The platform also includes community governance, letting $LYNO holders vote on protocol upgrades and fee structures, staking rewards for long-term investors, buyback-and-burn mechanisms to support token value, and audited smart…
