GBPUSD Approaches Key Resistance: Watch for Bearish Reversal
GBPUSD pair is trading within a clearly defined ascending channel on the 1-hour chart, showing a short-term bullish structure. However, this bullish move appears corrective within a broader consolidation range capped near the 1.3590 resistance zone.
🔍 Technical Breakdown:
Current Price: 1.35535
Immediate Resistance: 1.35885–1.35929 (previous highs and psychological level)
Support Levels:
Trendline support near 1.3530
Horizontal support: 1.34282, 1.34176
Structure:
Price has formed a bullish flag breakout and is now approaching key resistance.
A new higher high is anticipated toward 1.3590, but this level has repeatedly rejected price in the past.
The projected path indicates a potential liquidity grab above 1.3590 followed by a sell-off toward 1.3420–1.3410 area, aligning with a trendline break scenario.
Bearish Scenario:
A strong rejection from the 1.3590 zone, especially if accompanied by bearish divergence or a strong candle close, could trigger a shift back down to the 1.3417–1.3428 support zone.
This would confirm a short-term top and potential retracement toward lower liquidity zones.
📊 Fundamental Backdrop:
USD-side:
Recent U.S. labor market strength (e.g. ADP report and low jobless claims) supports a hawkish bias, favoring USD upside.
However, Fed policymakers remain cautious due to trade tensions and tariff uncertainty. This has injected short-term volatility into USD pairs.
GBP-side:
UK economic data has been mixed, with GDP growth forecasts under scrutiny.
BoE policymakers are dovish, emphasizing weak productivity and wage pressures, making the pound vulnerable to downside catalysts.
📌 Conclusion:
Watch for a potential bull trap near 1.3590, followed by a bearish reversal toward 1.3420–1.3410 if momentum weakens and sellers step in. This would complete the expected technical leg down and align with broader risk sentiment if dollar strength returns.
