Trump Bullish for USD! Farage Next for GBP?!With the way the media is promoting Nigel Farage more day by day & getting his face out there, I’m starting to think his been ‘selected’ as the next U.K. Prime Minister. They’re drip feeding the idea into the publics head.
Also, with the way the media is releasing more & more race hate content & dividing people, it’ll be ‘completely normal’ when a far right politician into power, as no one will question it or even think to say he had no support behind him. With all the race hate & division content being promoted by the media, we’ll see a lot more aggro against coloured people & immigrants. This’ll be the main factor used to make the public believe Nigel Farage was put into power by the public.
This is just my theory. Let’s see how it pans out!
GBPUSDHello Traders! 👋

GBP/USD Trade in Play – Why This Setup Could Be HUGEWhat’s great everyone? Mr. Blue Ocean FX here with an in-depth breakdown of GBP/USD.
We’re currently in a trade, having entered at 1.2297, with stops set at 1.2550. Let’s dive into the key levels and what we’re looking for moving forward.
On Friday, we identified a significant lower high around the 1.2297 level, which led to a strong impulse move down to 1.2104. After a pullback and rejection, price failed to make a new lower low, closing around 1.2151, and eventually breaking above resistance at 1.2210, creating a new higher high at 1.2297.
We waited for a pullback and a push above 1.2297, which we got, confirming our entry with volume supporting the move. Currently, I’m monitoring the H4 candle; if we see a break and close below 1.2272, we could expect a deeper pullback into the 1.2236 zone, which would present an opportunity for a second entry. However, I believe the fair value gap (FVG) around this level will hold, leading to consolidation before another push higher.
Looking at the DXY (Dollar Index) on the weekly timeframe, we had a strong push up from December 2nd to January 6th before topping out. It now appears to be rolling over, potentially forming a higher low before continuing higher. Today’s daily candle has broken structure, with a lower high forming around 109.33, suggesting short-term weakness in the dollar and potential upside for GBP/USD.
As we monitor price action, the next H4 candle close will be crucial. If price holds above support and volume supports the move, we anticipate further upside.
As always, keeping this breakdown short and to the point. If you found this helpful, boost it, like it, and share it with a fellow trader. Stay tuned for the next update.

Market Analysis: GBP/USD Under PressureMarket Analysis: GBP/USD Under Pressure
GBP/USD started a fresh decline below the 1.2320 zone.
Important Takeaways for GBP/USD Analysis Today
- The British Pound started another decline from the 1.2320 resistance zone.
- There is a short-term bearish trend line forming with resistance at 1.2205 on the hourly chart of GBP/USD at FXOpen.
GBP/USD Technical Analysis
On the hourly chart of GBP/USD at FXOpen, the pair struggled to continue higher above the 1.2320 resistance zone. The British Pound started a fresh decline and traded below the 1.2270 support zone against the US Dollar, as discussed in the previous analysis.
The pair even traded below 1.2250 and the 50-hour simple moving average. Finally, the bulls appeared near the 1.2100 level. The recent swing low was formed at 1.2160 and the pair is now consolidating losses.
Immediate resistance on the upside is near a short-term bearish trend line at 1.2205. The first major resistance is near the 1.2230 zone and the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the 1.2305 swing high to the 1.2160 low.
The main hurdle sits at 1.2270 and the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the 1.2305 swing high to the 1.2160 low. A close above the 1.2270 resistance might spark a steady upward move.
The next major resistance is near the 1.2305 zone. Any more gains could lead the pair toward the 1.2320 resistance in the near term.
Initial support on the GBP/USD chart sits at 1.2160. The next major support sits at 1.2140, below which there is a risk of another sharp decline. In the stated case, the pair could drop toward 1.2100.

GBP/USD: Consolidation at Key SupportLooking at the 4-hour chart of GBP/USD, I see that the pair is currently trading around 1.2202, with signs of consolidation at a strong support zone. The 34 EMA and 89 EMA are still sloping down, indicating that the bearish bias is still dominant. However, the gap between the price and the EMA is narrowing, which could be a sign that the bearish pressure is waning.
In addition, the pair has successfully tested the 1.2170 support zone in recent sessions, creating a solid foundation for a short-term recovery. To break this consolidation, the price needs to overcome the dynamic resistance at the 34 EMA, located around 1.2230. If this happens, the next target will be the 1.2300 zone – a strong psychological resistance.
GBPUSD H1 | Bullish BreakoutBased on the H1 chart, Calling for a bullish bounce off the key support level at 1.21937, which aligns with a pullback support zone. This level is expected to act as a strong entry point in the bullish setup.
Our take profit is set at 1.22981, targeting a key resistance level, marking a logical exit point for the trade.
The stop loss is set at 1.21468, below the recent swing low, allowing room for price fluctuations while protecting against invalidation of the bullish bias.

GBP/USD Shorts from 1.22800 back downMy idea for GBP/USD (GU) this week is slightly different from the others. Currently, GU is positioned between significant liquidity zones, with the most immediate valid POI being the 50-minute supply zone located above the Asian high. I expect the price to sweep that liquidity before reacting to the supply zone and targeting the trendline liquidity below.
After the liquidity sweep and a break of structure, a new supply zone is likely to form. However, at this stage, price action is less clear compared to how EUR/USD (EU) is moving. Therefore, I’ll exercise extra caution in my confluences and avoid overly ambitious take-profit targets.
Confluences for GU Sells:
Significant liquidity below in the form of a trendline that needs to be taken.
A clean 50-minute supply zone sitting above a pool of liquidity.
GU remains bearish overall on higher time frames.
The POI is at an extreme point within the current structure.
DXY remains bullish, supporting this bearish outlook for GU.
Note: If the price breaks the supply zone and then forms a break of structure to the upside, I’ll shift my focus to buy opportunities, similar to my plan for EU.
Have a great trading week, everyone!
NASDAQ EVEN BETTER THAN PLANNEDThe new blue line is our new ideal forecast, staying in between the possibilities the green and lower blue lines give, but wow this is even bigger than we thought. We caught a good one.
Technical Analysis:
The NASDAQ 100 index has shown strong upward momentum, recently breaking out above a key resistance level at 15,000. It is trading above its 50-day and 200-day moving averages, signaling a sustained uptrend. The RSI is trending higher but remains below overbought levels, indicating further upside potential. MACD has crossed into bullish territory, confirming positive momentum.
Immediate resistance lies at 15,500, with a break above this level potentially targeting 16,000, the year’s high. On the downside, 15,000 now acts as key support, with additional support at 14,700. The index remains in a solid uptrend, supported by higher lows and strong buying pressure on dips.
Fundamental Analysis:
The NASDAQ is benefiting from a favorable macroeconomic environment and strong earnings reports from major tech companies. Optimism around artificial intelligence and innovation continues to drive investor interest, with tech stocks leading the charge.
Meanwhile, the Federal Reserve’s signal that it may pause further rate hikes due to cooling inflation has supported growth stocks, which are highly sensitive to interest rate changes. Lower yields also make tech valuations more attractive, fueling buying interest.
Additionally, the U.S. economy has shown resilience, with solid GDP growth and a strong labor market. This combination of steady economic conditions and a less aggressive Fed has created a favorable environment for the NASDAQ.
Key Catalysts to Watch:
Upcoming earnings reports, especially from major tech companies.
Federal Reserve updates, including comments on interest rate policy.
U.S. economic data, such as inflation and GDP figures.
Sentiment around innovation sectors like AI, semiconductors, and cloud computing.
XAUUSD, EXCACTLY AS PLANNED IN OUR LAST POSTTechnical Analysis:
XAU/USD (Gold) has shown strong bullish momentum, trading comfortably above the 50-day and 200-day moving averages, which signal a sustained uptrend. The price recently broke a key resistance level at $1,950, which now acts as strong support. Momentum indicators like the RSI are in bullish territory but remain below overbought levels, suggesting room for further upside. The MACD histogram is widening, indicating increasing bullish momentum.
The next key resistance lies at $2,000, a psychological level, followed by $2,030, a recent multi-month high. A confirmed break above $2,000 could set the stage for a move toward $2,050. On the downside, support at $1,950 and $1,920 will be critical to watch for any potential retracement.
Fundamental Analysis:
Gold's bullish outlook is driven by a combination of macroeconomic and geopolitical factors. Concerns over global economic slowdown, persistent geopolitical tensions, and central banks maintaining high levels of gold reserves are supporting safe-haven demand.
In the U.S., softer inflation data and dovish signals from the Federal Reserve have weakened the dollar, making gold more attractive for international buyers. Additionally, Treasury yields have started to stabilize, reducing the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding assets like gold.
Furthermore, with the Chinese economy showing signs of recovery and increased demand for physical gold from Asia, gold prices are expected to remain well-supported in the near term. Central bank buying also continues to provide a long-term tailwind for prices.
Key Catalysts to Watch:
U.S. economic data, particularly inflation and labor market reports.
Fed policy updates and FOMC meeting minutes.
Developments in geopolitical hotspots that could spur safe-haven flows.
Demand trends from major gold-importing countries like China and India.
