Structural uptrend is intact across daily and intraday timeframes, but a materially weaker-than-expected NFP print has reset the FOMC narrative toward cuts, providing the immediate macro fuel for GBP upside — provided the pair can hold above its daily pivot and consolidate the post-payrolls advance before Thursday's London open.

Catalyst: No tier-1 UK or US macro data released on 9 September; market is in pre-event positioning mode. The dominant near-term catalyst anchor is the August US CPI print due Friday 11 September at 8:30 ET (BLS confirmed), followed by the FOMC rate decision on 16 September and the BoE decision on 17 September. The August NFP at 22K (released 5 September) has already shifted the FOMC narrative materially toward a cut; CPI will confirm or complicate that re-pricing.
