LONG GBP/USD — Trade IdeaLONG GBP/USD — Three Talking Points
Macro & Central-Bank Divergence
UK growth beats, retail sales jump and service-CPI re-accelerates to 5.4 % y/y. Markets have pushed BoE-cut odds to near-zero for June and just one 25 bp trim by year-end, while the Fed is still priced for two cuts in 2025.
IMF nudges 2025 UK GDP up to 1.2 %. In contrast, the dollar narrative is hampered by ballooning U.S. deficit worries and tariff-policy whiplash. Net policy path favours sterling over the dollar.
Technical Structure Remains Bullish
Price action is riding a January-origin ascending channel; Monday’s spike to 1.3600 set a new three-year high, but the pull-back stalled exactly where the 21-DMA, prior breakout shelf and channel floor cluster (mid-1.34s).
14-day RSI ≥ 60 yet still shy of overbought, signalling bullish momentum with room to run.
Holding the 1.3440/70 zone keeps the next leg toward 1.3600/1.3750 in play; only a daily close below 1.3370 would break the channel and negate the setup.
Event Risk Favouring Upside Skew
BoE speakers (Pill today, Bailey tomorrow) are likely to echo the “cautious & gradual” line—supportive, not dovish.
FOMC minutes may sound hawkish, but the market has largely heard it; any dovish nuance quickly re-ignites dollar selling.
Friday’s PCE vs. Tokyo CPI: a soft U.S. core PCE print alongside sticky Japan inflation would weigh on USDJPY and bleed into broader USD softness, lifting cable toward our T1/T2 objectives.

If these levels are cleared, we anticipate further upside. We’ll continue to share updates on the projected path for GBP/USD should price action reach our key zone.
The longer-term outlook remains bullish, and we expect the rally to extend further from the 1.20991 January low.

GBP/USD Analysis: Price Searching for SupportGBP/USD Analysis: Price Searching for Support
In the second half of May, the British pound showed notable strength: from its 12 May low, GBP/USD climbed to a peak on 26 May — marking its highest level in over three years.
Demand for the pound has been driven by several factors:
→ A surge in inflation. CPI data released last Wednesday came in above expectations. As a result, market participants interpreted this as a reason for the Bank of England to remain cautious about cutting interest rates. Holding rates at elevated levels is generally considered bullish for the pound.
→ The pound’s relative resilience amid trade tensions, particularly following a newly signed agreement with the US, as well as strengthening trade ties between the UK and the EU.
Can the pound continue to rise? The GBP/USD chart offers reasons for doubt.
Technical Analysis of the GBP/USD Chart
Recent price movements have formed an ascending channel (outlined in blue), and earlier this week, demand was so strong that the pair briefly moved above the upper boundary. But what happened next?
That strong buying momentum appears to have faded — resulting in a sequence of lower highs (A→B→C→D), suggesting that the market may be searching for a foothold. Today’s bounce (highlighted by the arrow) hints that such a foothold may have been found. But how reliable is it? And can the uptrend be resumed?
→ From a bullish perspective: Support may be provided by the lower boundary of the channel, reinforced by the 1.345 level.
→ From a bearish perspective: The 1.352 level is acting as resistance, further strengthened by the median line.
It is possible that the area marked by lower highs (A→B→C→D) could ultimately prove to be an insurmountable barrier for the developing uptrend on the GBP/USD chart.

GBP/USD BEST PLACE TO SELL FROM|SHORT
Hello, Friends!
The BB upper band is nearby so GBP-USD is in the overbought territory. Thus, despite the uptrend on the 1W timeframe I think that we will see a bearish reaction from the resistance line above and a move down towards the target at around 1.334.

✅LIKE AND COMMENT MY IDEAS✅
NZDCAD BULLISH OR BEARISH DETAILED ANALYSIS ??NZDCAD is currently coiling within a textbook bullish flag formation after an aggressive impulsive leg to the upside. Price action remains tight inside this consolidation structure, respecting both trendline resistance and support. As we approach the apex of this flag, I’m closely watching for a breakout confirmation to trigger the next bullish continuation leg toward the 0.8600 target.
From a macro perspective, the New Zealand dollar is gaining strength following the RBNZ’s firm stance on keeping rates elevated due to persistent inflation risks, particularly in housing and services. On the flip side, the Canadian dollar is showing relative weakness as oil prices stall and the Bank of Canada shifts toward a more dovish tone amid weaker economic data and slowing consumer spending. This divergence in central bank policy and economic outlook is building a strong fundamental case for NZDCAD upside.
Technically, the structure remains clean. The market formed a strong bullish engulfing rally earlier in April, and since then has entered a symmetrical correction with higher lows forming under compression. This is a classic continuation setup with strong momentum buildup underneath. A breakout above the 0.8280–0.8300 zone with volume would likely trigger institutional interest and drive price rapidly toward the 0.8600 level, which aligns with the measured move of the flag.
This is a high-probability trade idea supported by both technical and fundamental convergence. With risk well-defined below 0.8135 and momentum favoring the bulls, NZDCAD is one of my top setups going into June. Breakout traders and swing traders alike should keep this pair on the radar as the next bullish expansion looks imminent.
USD/JPY Poised for Upside: Momentum Building Toward Key TargetsBy examining the USD/JPY chart on the daily timeframe, we can see that the price is currently trading around 144. Given the momentum, I expect this pair to rise soon. The potential bullish targets are 145.5, 147.35, and 148.65 respectively.

GBPUSD potential longMulti-Timeframe Market Outlook
3-Month (3M) Timeframe
• Price broke below key psychological/liquidity level at 1.2100 in Q3 2022, reaching 1.0500, where significant bullish order flow was triggered.
• Bullish momentum brought price back above 1.2100, but lacked strength to reach next liquidity zone at 1.3900.
• After retracing to collect orders at 1.2100 again, price advanced to 1.3400, met resistance, and returned to 1.2100.
• Recent price action shows a break above 1.3400, signaling renewed bullish intent and momentum toward higher targets.
Monthly Timeframe
• Fully aligned with the 3M structure; no additional significant divergences to note.
• Continuation of higher timeframe bullish structure remains intact.
Weekly Timeframe
• Last week, price broke and closed above major resistance at 1.3400 with strong bullish momentum.
• Next liquidity target: 1.3650.
• Price consolidated below 1.3400 for 4 weeks, suggesting accumulation of bullish orders.
• Current retracement likely a pause to collect more orders before resuming towards 1.3650.
Daily Timeframe
• Strong order flow observed at 1.3150, followed by consolidation between 1.3250 – 1.3300 before breaking 1.3400.
• Price has retraced ~100 pips since yesterday, likely seeking a liquidity zone.
• 1.3400 remains the key level to monitor for renewed bullish interest and continuation toward 1.3650.
4H Timeframe
• Notable bullish order block formed at 1.3400, resulting in nearly 200-pip upside.
• Price appears to be retracing to this region, likely to collect more buy-side liquidity before another leg up.
• Confluence across timeframes suggests strong bullish bias if price holds above or reclaims 1.3400.
My thesis is long but I am very mindful of FOMC minutes today and I am waiting to see the impact that it will have on price action.

GBPUSD Near Key Resistance – Watching for PullbackGBPUSD has surged to test the 1.3538 resistance, forming a strong impulsive rally supported by higher lows and tight bullish consolidation patterns. However, price is now pressing into a major horizontal resistance and rising trendline, setting up for either continuation or correction.
Key Levels:
Major Resistance: 1.35389 (previous high, potential double top)
Trendline Support: ~1.3440 (ascending structure)
Downside Target (if break occurs): 1.3140 (range floor)
Scenarios to Watch:
🔹 Bearish Scenario (Primary Watch)
Price reacts to 1.3538 and forms a rejection candle
Break of the ascending trendline may trigger a retracement
Downside target zones:
1.3440 (initial structure)
1.3140 (major support zone)
🔹 Bullish Breakout (Alternate Scenario)
Clean break and close above 1.3538
Would invalidate short-term correction and open path to new highs
Momentum continuation possible toward 1.3600–1.3700
Pattern Notes:
Bullish structure with minor flags and wedges in the uptrend
But rally is extended and hitting overbought territory near resistance
RSI divergence or reversal patterns around this level would strengthen short case
Conclusion:
📌 GBPUSD is at a major resistance. Watch for rejection or breakout.
📌 If it holds below 1.3538 and breaks trendline, short setup is favored.
📌 If it breaks out above 1.3538 with volume, stay out of shorts and wait for retest.

GBPUSD is currently testing a critical resistance zone near 1.3570, forming a potential Double Top pattern. As markets await this week’s US Core PCE inflation release, the pair may be at risk of a short-term pullback.
🌍 MACRO FUNDAMENTALS

Key Levels:
Resistance: 1.3570 – 1.3580 (previous high and psychological barrier)
Support 1: 1.3496 (confluence of EMA89 and 38.2% Fibonacci retracement)
Support 2: 1.3446
Indicators:

RSI approaches overbought territory, hinting at potential bearish divergence.
🎯 TRADE SETUP (IF PRICE REJECTS 1.3570)
🔻 SELL SETUP
Entry: 1.3570 – 1.3550
Stop-Loss: 1.3595
Take-Profit Targets:

🧠 STRATEGIC NOTES

Avoid chasing trades mid-range; focus on clean breakouts or rejections.
PCE data may trigger volatility — manage risk tightly and prepare for directional momentum.

AudCad..PWL taken!!Good day traders, I’m back with another setup on AudCad and I like that previous week low was taken. We can now look at the power of 3 with higher TF in mind.
On the 4H TF price has been bearish but we can see that price left very “smooth” highs(relative equal highs) but ICT teaches us that price will always go back to make the smooth highs, smooth cries(liquidity sweep).
Before price took our low it left a FVG that’s we wanna see turn into an inverse.
The first target has to be our internal liquidity than the external liquidity that also has relatively equal highs too.
GBPUSD BULLISH OR BEARISH DETAILED ANALYSISGBPUSD has played out exactly as forecasted, completing a clean bullish leg from the Fibonacci confluence zones and breaking through the key 1.3430 resistance level. The structure remains strongly bullish, and after this minor retest, I’m anticipating another impulsive wave to the upside, with the next target sitting firmly at the 1.3900 level. The pair continues to respect both structure and momentum, showing consistent demand on dips.
Fundamentally, the British pound continues to gain strength backed by sticky inflation data and hawkish tone from the Bank of England. With UK CPI remaining elevated and core services inflation running hot, the BoE is being forced to hold its tightening bias. This contrasts sharply with the Federal Reserve, where recent data shows signs of softening labor markets and cooling price pressure, bringing rate cut expectations back on the table for the second half of 2025.
Technically, GBPUSD has cleanly respected all key fib levels from the previous correction. The breakout above 1.3430 has flipped structure into bullish continuation, and the market has already begun forming higher highs and higher lows on both daily and 4H timeframes. As long as price holds above the 1.3430–1.3450 retest zone, the bullish outlook remains intact with high-probability momentum toward 1.3900.
In current market sentiment, GBPUSD remains one of the strongest trending pairs, with institutions adding to long exposure as the dollar index weakens. As a professional trader, I remain long-biased and look to scale in on lower timeframe retracements. This is a textbook continuation play backed by both technicals and macro momentum. Let the trend work—bulls remain in full control.
Pound Tops $1.357 on Solid DataGBP/USD advanced above $1.357, hitting its highest level since February 2022, as Trump’s delay of the 50% EU tariff boosted global sentiment. The pound also gained from promising April data, with retail sales rising 1.2%, marking the fourth monthly gain. Inflation stayed high at 3.5%, adding uncertainty over the BoE’s next move. Markets now price in a 50% chance of a rate cut by August, with another possible by year-end.
Support lies at 1.3425, with resistance at 1.3600. Other key levels are 1.3850 and 1.3750 above, and 1.3165 and 1.2890 below.
GBPUSD Trending Higher - Can Bulls Maintain Momentum?OANDA:GBPUSD is trading within a clearly defined ascending channel, with price action continuing to respect both the upper and lower boundaries. The recent bullish momentum indicates that buyers are maintaining an advantage, increasing the likelihood of a continued upward trend.
Price has broken through a key resistance zone and successfully retested this area as support, confirming the bullish structure. This retest helps to reinforce the bullish outlook, with the next technical target around the 1.38000 level, in line with the upper boundary of the trend channel.
As long as price remains above the newly established support zone, the bullish trend remains intact. If this support zone is broken, a corrective scenario toward the midline or lower boundary of the channel should be reconsidered.
The analysis reflects a personal view based on price action and market structure, and is not financial advice. Appropriate risk management should be ensured in all trading situations.
