AUDNZD Ascending Triangle Bullish Breakout Targeting 1.1340The AUDNZD currency pair is currently trading at 1.1140, with a target price of 1.1340, suggesting a potential upward move of 100+ pips. The pair is forming an ascending triangle pattern, a classic bullish continuation pattern. This pattern typically forms when the price consistently makes higher lows while encountering a horizontal resistance level, signaling a potential breakout above the resistance. Traders are looking for a confirmation of the breakout above the resistance level to target 1.1340. From a technical perspective, the ascending triangle is often a sign of market indecision, but it’s typically followed by a breakout to the upside when the price pushes through the resistance at the top of the triangle. In this case, the breakout would likely target the 1.1340 level, where the next significant resistance could come into play. On the fundamental side, the Australian dollar has been relatively stronger recently due to robust commodity exports, particularly iron ore and coal. In contrast, the New Zealand dollar faces pressure from a more dovish outlook from the Reserve Bank of New Zealand, which has recently taken a cautious approach to monetary policy. These economic dynamics could support the bullish case for AUDNZD, especially if the breakout occurs in favor of the Aussie dollar. In summary, the ascending triangle pattern on AUDNZD points toward a bullish breakout above the 1.1160 resistance. If confirmed, the pair could target the 1.1340 level. Keep an eye on any upcoming economic data from both Australia and New Zealand, as these could provide further confirmation or invalidate the breakout.

GBP/USD Analysis – Bullish Momentum or a Pullback?GBP/USD Technical Analysis – Bullish Momentum or a Temporary Pullback? By Dhanda The Great The GBP/USD currency pair has been on an interesting journey over the past few months, experiencing a significant downtrend before showing signs of a bullish reversal. The big question now: Is this the beginning of a sustained uptrend, or just a temporary pullback? Chart Analysis & Key Levels Breakout from the Downtrend: The pair was trading within a descending channel for months, indicating a strong bearish structure. Recently, GBP/USD broke out of this channel, which could signify a trend reversal or at least a short-term bullish correction. Support & Resistance Zones: Support: The key demand zone lies between 1.2100 - 1.2200, where previous bounces have occurred. Resistance: GBP/USD faces a crucial test around 1.2750 - 1.2800. A break above this level could propel the pair towards the psychological 1.3000 mark. Moving Averages & Bollinger Bands: The price is currently riding the upper Bollinger Band, which shows strong buying pressure. Short-term EMAs (Exponential Moving Averages) are crossing upwards, signaling potential bullish continuation. Trade Ideas & Market Outlook 📈 Bullish Scenario: If GBP/USD holds above 1.2600, it could gain further momentum towards 1.2750 - 1.2800. A confirmed breakout above 1.2800 would open doors for 1.3000. 📉 Bearish Scenario: If the price fails to sustain above 1.2600, we could see a pullback to 1.2300 - 1.2200. A break below 1.2200 would indicate bearish strength, potentially leading to 1.2000 or lower. Final Thoughts The GBP/USD is at a critical juncture, and traders should keep an eye on key levels. With fundamental catalysts like economic data and central bank policies, volatility is expected. A sustained breakout above 1.2800 could mark the beginning of a strong bullish trend, while rejection could send prices lower. 🔥 What’s Next? Keep an eye on GBP/USD and be ready to react! Let’s make 2025 the year of your financial success! 🚀💰 #GBPUSD #ForexTrading #DhandaTheGreat #Investing #TradingSignals #FinancialFreedom

GBP/USD Rises on Strong UK GDPGBP/USD climbed to 1.2595 in early Asian trading on Sunday, driven by strong UK GDP data and weaker US retail sales. January retail sales dropped 0.9%, the steepest decline in nearly two years, after a revised 0.7% rise in December, far below the expected 0.1% dip. However, year-over-year sales grew by 4.2%. Meanwhile, the UK economy expanded by 0.1% in Q4 2024, beating forecasts and strengthening the Pound. Key resistance is at 1.2600, with further levels at 1.2650 and 1.2700. Support stands at 1.2340, followed by 1.2265 and 1.2100.

GBPUSD M15 I Bearish Drop Based on the M15 chart, the price is rising toward our sell entry level at 1.2618, aligning with a pullback resistance level and the 50% Fibonacci retracement. This setup suggests a potential bearish reversal. A rejection at this level could drive prices lower toward our take profit at 1.2596, a pullback support that aligns with the 78.6% Fibonacci retracement. The stop loss is set at 1.2634, a resistance level. High Risk Investment Warning Trading Forex/CFDs on margin carries a high level of risk and may not be suitable for all investors.

UK Employment and Inflation Numbers Ahead; GBP/USD Drifting ArouWhile the UK is evading US tariffs for now, its economy continues to face a somewhat undecided future, with taxes on business set to increase in April and a lingering drag from the elevated interest rates. However, this week’s focus shifts to a rather busy slate of economic data in the UK. Regarding tier-1 metrics, I will largely focus on Tuesday’s employment figures for December 2024 and the January CPI inflation (Consumer Price Index) report on Wednesday. The data comes on the heels of last week’s better-than-expected GDP (Gross Domestic Product) numbers for December 2024. BoE: ‘Gradual and Careful’ Approach You will recall that the Bank of England (BoE) recently cut the Bank Rate by 25 basis points (bps) to 4.50% – which did not raise too many eyebrows – and the BoE Governor signalled a ‘gradual and careful’ approach to easing policy. However, the 7-2 MPC vote split (Monetary Policy Committee) caused a stir. BoE member Catherine Mann – a known hawk – joined Swati Dhingra (dove) and voted to cut the Bank Rate by 50 bps. The central bank also released updated quarterly projections revealing an upward revision to inflation and weaker GDP, and it forecasted that the Bank Rate would remain higher for longer. Inflation is expected to rise by 2.8% in Q1 25 (versus 2.4% in the previous forecast) and increase by 3.0% in Q1 26 (versus 2.6% in the previous forecast), followed by inflation cooling back to the BoE’s 2.0% target in 2027. GDP growth is now expected to grow by 0.4% in Q1 25 (down from 1.4% in the prior forecasts), with economic activity predicted to grow by 1.5% in Q1 26. The BoE also estimates that the Bank Rate will remain around 4.5% in Q1 25 but likely fall to 4.2% in Q1 26, against previous forecasts for 3.7%. Markets are currently pricing another 57 bps worth of cuts this year (little more than two rate cuts). UK Employment and Inflation Data Eyed UK employment numbers will be released tomorrow at 7:00 am GMT and are expected to show unemployment ticked higher to 4.5% between October to December 2024, up from 4.4% in November. In terms of wages, both regular pay and pay that includes bonuses are forecast to increase by 5.9% on a year-on-year basis (YY), up from 5.6%. However, while market participants will widely watch the jobs report, which can prove market moving, it is essential to remember the validity of the survey’s data remains in question. Wednesday welcomes the January CPI inflation data at 7:00 am GMT, which is expected to reveal increasing price pressures across key measures. Headline YY CPI inflation is forecast to increase by 2.8% (from December’s reading of 2.5% ), consistent with the BoE’s updated forecasts. The current estimate range is between a high of 2.9% and a low of 2.4%. YY core CPI inflation – excluding volatile food, energy, alcohol, and tobacco items – is estimated to have increased by 3.7%, up from 3.2% in December (estimate range between 3.8% and 3.3%). Regarding services inflation, the YY print is anticipated to rise by nearly a whole percentage point to 5.2%, compared to December’s reading of 4.4%. A rise in price pressures, particularly data that meets or exceeds upper estimates, could prompt investors to pare back rate-cut bets this year. This also places the central bank in a somewhat difficult position, given that it not only reduced the Bank Rate last week, but two MPC members also voted for an outsized 50 bp reduction. GBP/USD: Monthly Bullish Engulfing Formation? The monthly chart shows price is on the verge of pencilling in a bullish engulfing pattern from support at US$1.2173 (textbook engulfing patterns focus on the real bodies, not the upper and lower shadows). Monthly resistance demands attention overhead at US$1.2715, with a break of this barrier likely paving the way north for further outperformance towards another layer of monthly resistance coming in at US$1.3111. Interestingly, buyers and sellers are squaring off at resistance from US$1.2608 on the daily timeframe. The supply area directly to the left of current price (red area) was weak (as noted in a previous piece I posted), with technical buying gathering steam from retesting trendline resistance-turned-support, extended from the high of US$1.3428. If inflation comes in broadly higher than expected, this will likely underpin a bid in the GBP/USD (British pound versus the US dollar) and perhaps pull the currency pair beyond current daily resistance towards the monthly resistance mentioned above at US$1.2715, closely shadowed by another layer of daily resistance at US$1.2752.

XAU/USD : Bull or Bear? Let's See! (READ THE CAPTION)By analyzing the 30-minute gold chart, we can see that, as expected, gold resumed its bullish momentum, successfully hitting the $2,923 and $2,929 targets with ease, and even extending its rally to $2,940. With this move, gold filled the Fair Value Gap (FVG) mentioned in the previous analysis and reached its bearish order block. Currently, gold is trading around $2,927, and the next move will depend on price stability: • If gold holds above $2,929 for the next 4 hours, we could see another bullish push. • If gold fails to hold above this key level, we might see a pullback towards $2,923 as the first corrective target. Stay tuned for further updates!

GBPUSD resistance test ahead of UK employment data, BoE speechThe GBPUSD currency pair price action sentiment appears bearish, supported by the longer-term prevailing downtrend. The key trading level is at 1.2600, the current swing high. A bearish rejection from the 1.2600 level could target the downside support at 1.2517 followed by 1.2400 and 1.2330 levels over the longer timeframe. Alternatively, a confirmed breakout above 1.2600 resistance and a daily close above that level would negate the bearish outlook opening the way for further rallies higher and a retest of 1.2650 resistance level followed by 1.2700.

GBPUSDHello Traders! 👋 What are your thoughts on GBPUSD? The price has successfully broken its downward trendline and, after a successful pullback, has also broken through a key resistance level to the upside. Currently, the price is consolidating above the broken resistance, which indicates strong buyer momentum and a potential continuation of the uptrend. Given the current market structure, the price is likely to experience a minor pullback and consolidation before continuing its upward movement. Don’t forget to like and share your thoughts in the comments! ❤️

GBP/USD: Selling into the reboundThe setup is similar in EUR/USD & GBP/USD - because of the dollar in both major pairs! The GBP price is testing the broken uptrend line on the weekly- and could break above it. On the daily chart, a downtrend line has already broken and so has critical resistance at 1.25, suggesting a break above the weekly uptrend line Should the breakout follow-through it faces resistance at 1.28 from the December high and 30 week (150 day) moving average. However, should the breakout fail - it sets up a likely continuation of the longer term downtrend.

GBPUSD Will Go Up! Long! Here is our detailed technical review for GBPUSD. Time Frame: 12h Current Trend: Bullish Sentiment: Oversold (based on 7-period RSI) Forecast: Bullish The price is testing a key support 1.244. Current market trend & oversold RSI makes me think that buyers will push the price. I will anticipate a bullish movement at least to 1.261 level. P.S The term oversold refers to a condition where an asset has traded lower in price and has the potential for a price bounce. Overbought refers to market scenarios where the instrument is traded considerably higher than its fair value. Overvaluation is caused by market sentiments when there is positive news.

GBP/USD Rally: Is 1.28 the Next Target?In my post last week about GBP/USD, I mentioned that as long as the 1.23 support remained intact, the pair could rise toward the 1.26 resistance level and that buying dips below 1.24 could be a good strategy. Indeed, the pair climbed to 1.26 on Friday, which raises the question—what’s next? In my view, GBP/USD is likely to continue its ascent, with the next bullish target being the 1.28 resistance zone. In conclusion, dips around the 1.25 support could present buying opportunities, with invalidation below 1.24 and a target at the 1.28 resistance level.

#GBPUSD 1DAYGBPUSD (1D Timeframe) Analysis Market Structure: The price has broken above the downtrend resistance, indicating a potential shift from bearish to bullish momentum. This breakout suggests that buyers are gaining control, but further confirmation is needed before entering a position. Forecast: A buy opportunity may arise after a retest of the broken resistance level, which could now act as support. Key Levels to Watch: - Entry Zone: Wait for a retest of the breakout level and confirmation of support before considering a buy position. - Risk Management: - Stop Loss: Placed below the retest level or recent swing low to manage risk. - Take Profit: Target higher resistance levels or key areas for potential upside movement. Market Sentiment: The breakout above the downtrend resistance is a sign of potential bullish movement, but patience is needed to ensure the price holds above the retested level before entering a trade.

Fundamental Market Analysis for February 17, 2025 GBPUSDThe GBP/USD pair is trading slightly higher near 1.25850 in the early Asian session on Monday, rising on the back of a positive UK Gross Domestic Product (GDP) report and weak US retail sales data.The US market will be closed on Monday due to the Presidents' Day holiday.US retail sales posted their biggest drop in nearly two years, dragging down the dollar. The Commerce Department's Census Bureau reported on Friday that retail sales fell 0.9 per cent in January after an upwardly revised 0.7 per cent rise in December, which was weaker than the 0.1 per cent decline that had been forecast. On a year-over-year basis, retail sales rose 4.2 per cent during the same reporting period.Stronger than expected UK GDP figures provide some support for the Pound Sterling (GBP). According to the UK Office for National Statistics (ONS), the UK economy grew by 0.1% quarter-on-quarter in the fourth quarter of 2024, beating expectations. Traders will be monitoring the UK labour market and Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation data, which will be released on Tuesday and Wednesday, respectively. These reports may provide some indication as to whether the Bank of England (BoE) will cut interest rates again at its March meeting. Trading recommendation: GBPUSD: SELL 1.25800, SL 1.26300, TP 1.25100
