GBPUSD
Sticky Inflation, Falling Pound, Pure Chaos in USD pairs!Last week was pure chaos. The dollar flexed like it’s been hitting the gym, while the pound? Let’s just say it’s practicing free-fall techniques. Sterling slipped so hard it might need a parachute soon. 🪂💸
Meanwhile, inflation is still that uninvited party guest who refuses to leave. UK CPI? Sticky. US CPI? Stubborn. And central banks? They’re in the corner pretending it’s not happening. 🙈📉
Here’s what we’re unpacking this week:
👉 Monday : ECB speeches. Expect fancy words, minimal action. 🙄
👉 Tuesday : US PPI drops. Prices rising faster than your blood pressure? Find out! 📈
👉 Wednesday : The big show. UK & US CPI—will inflation finally chill, or are we doomed to more rate drama? 🥶🔥
👉 Thursday : Aussie employment data hops in. Will it jumpstart the AUD? 🦘💵
👉 Friday : China’s GDP report. Rebound or flop? Either way, it’s gonna ripple through the markets. 🌏💣
George’s Hot Take:
Dollar: Still the king. 👑💪
Sterling: In the doghouse. 🐶🚪
Inflation: Like gum on your shoe—it’s not going anywhere. 😤🥿
🎧 Tune in for all the market madness, trading insights, and just the right amount of sarcasm. Because hey, the markets don’t care about your feelings—but we’ll at least laugh about it with you. 😏

GBPUSD: Fibonacci Levels and Oversold Zones Strengthen SupportThe DXY's strength has pressured markets into critical territories, pushing the pound toward key support levels towards 1.2030.
Fibonacci Extensions
Using the Fibonacci extension tool on the corrective pattern between the July 2023 high (1.3125), October 2023 low (1.2030), and September 2024 high (1.3434), the notable 1.272 extension level aligns with the 1.2030 support.
Momentum Indicators
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is retesting levels last seen in October 2023 and September 2022 at 24.30, indicating potential near-term reversal probabilities.
What to Watch
If current support holds, a reversal could push the pair toward resistance at 1.2770, coinciding with the upper border of the 15-year consolidation range. This would require a decisive close above the 2024 lows at 1.2330.
If bearish pressures persist below the critical 1.20 level, further declines could target the 1.5 and 1.618 Fibonacci extension levels, aligning with the 1.18 and 1.1670 zones, respectively.

Understanding Symmetrical Triangle Breakout and Retest XAUUSD (Gold vs. US Dollar) is currently priced at 2680, with a target price set at 2660. This indicates a bearish outlook, suggesting the price is expected to drop. The pair has recently experienced a symmetrical triangle breakout, which is a technical chart pattern signaling potential price movement. After the breakout, the price is now in a retesting phase, a common occurrence where the price revisits the breakout level to confirm the move. Traders often view this as a critical period to assess the strength of the breakout. If the retest holds, it could validate the downtrend, increasing the probability of reaching the target price. However, failure to maintain the breakout level could result in a reversal. This scenario highlights the importance of monitoring key support and resistance levels. The retest phase provides an opportunity for risk management and strategic entry.
GBP/USD: Potential Bearish Continuation Amid Economic IndicatorsFollowing the successful attainment of our profit target in the demand area, the GBP/USD currency pair has shown a modest recovery, reclaiming some ground from the 1.2400 level. As this article is being written, the price has retraced into a prior supply zone situated around 1.2541. This development indicates a potential resistance area where the pound may struggle to maintain its upward momentum.
As we move into the latter part of the day, market participants will be intently focused on significant economic reports from the United States, specifically the ISM Services PMI for December and the JOLTS Job Openings data for November. These reports are crucial in gauging the health of the US economy, particularly in the services sector, which has a substantial impact on overall economic performance.
The ISM Services PMI is anticipated to provide valuable insights into business conditions, and a reading that falls below 50 could suggest contraction in the sector. Such a scenario may trigger renewed selling pressure on the USD, potentially offering some support to the GBP/USD pair. On the other hand, if the report shows a strong uptick, it could further solidify the USD's position.
In tandem with the PMI, the JOLTS Job Openings report will also be closely examined. A decline in job openings might indicate a softening labor market, adding further downward pressure on the dollar. However, a notable rise in job openings could bolster confidence in the labor market and affirm the Federal Reserve's commitment to maintaining its current monetary policy stance, providing added strength to the USD.
Given the current price action and the anticipated economic data, our outlook leans toward a potential bearish continuation for the British Pound. As the market digests this key information, we are likely to see an increase in dollar strength, which would further challenge the GBP/USD pair. Traders and investors should remain vigilant in monitoring these developments, as the interplay between the pound and the dollar will be critical in shaping the currency pair's next movements.

GBPUSD | 09.01.2025BUY 1.22800 | STOP 1.22200 | TAKE 1.23600 | The pound is losing ground during the Asian session on January 9, developing a strong "bearish" momentum formed last Tuesday and working out the mark of 1.23210 today to break down. We expect a corrective upward movement of the price to consolidate the trend of movement.
The focus of British investors' attention is on retail price statistics from the British Consortium of Retailers (BRC): in December, the index fell by 1.0% after -0.6% earlier, not justifying preliminary calculations of -0.4% and signaled a weakening of price pressure in the UK.

GBP/USD IS BEARISH TECHNICAL OUTLOOK
Cable is 100% bearish. On a monthly,weekly and daily perspective she is bearish. We will be looking for sells however we do see some buying opportunities located around 1.19 and above. For sellers we are seeing them primarily in control with no signs of reversal. The goal here for the account is to focus heavy on the continuation and to utilize our gains wisely. This year will be a year where I will be focusing on account builds (small to big). This compound skill is a skillset that is worth multi millions and if learned correctly will literally separate you from 99% of traders. The key from what it seems in my research is finding the right timing and scaling into the bigger overall move with intra day positions. Another way is to effectively focus on % gain wins w/ a decent weekly hit rate. Both are scenarios in which require the trader to understand the asset of choice like the back of their hand.
Another goal of mine this year will be finally tackling the prop firm space. Now this particular space to me screams red flags due to the lack of reliability and the casino effect tied to all prop firms world wide. In short, the casino effect reflects on how hard these prop firms will be towards profitable traders. They can create rules and eliminate winning trades because of some made up rule they decided to implement. To me, that is one of the biggest issues I have and people playing with hard earned money is a huge no for me and to make matters worse, all these accounts we are paying for are demo accounts. However, I cant just ignore the space so to meet everything half way I will be purchasing the smallest account size available. Doing this, my investment towards their business model is minimal and the profits will be used to scale into the biggest account they have. This will also let my models prove to me they are ready to tackle space and effectively generate weekly % gains in order to even consider investing into any prop firm.
Other than that, GBP/USD is bearish and we are ready to push our models in order to facilitate the upcoming plays. As always, trade safe.
Mr.Oazb
EURAUD - Start 2025 with a BIG Win!EURAUD has given us a fantastic opportunity to get in at the very start of a BIG move.
We are currently in an ABC correction. We'e completed waves A and B and now currently in wave C. We're expecting 5 waves from wave C and looks as if we've completed wave 1 and currently in wave 2. We're looking to catch the rest of the move on the break of the trendline.
Trade Idea:
- Safe entry on break of trendline
- Riskier entry within the fibs or anywhere below invalidation
- stops above invalidation
- Targets: 1.6 (700pips), 1.156 (1100pips)
- Taper as we move lower
What do you guys think?
Goodluck and as always, trade safe!
GBP Analysis Potential Sell Set UpGreetings all!
This week I'm looking for some retracement of GBPUSD before price ultimately falls to 1.213 OR 1.206. Both are areas where price have reversed (October and November) in the past, making them places of interest. Responsibily, when price lands in these zones I will be watching price action to determine whether I want to continue selling or watch for reversals. I will not consider a reversal until a previous high has been swept, breaking market structure!
Quick Read:
Potential retracement - 1.223 OR between ~1.235 - 1.240
Potential reversal areas = 1.213 and 1.206
Trading "Strategies" - Fair Value Gap and/or Fib Retracement while in a downtrend.
GBP/USD Shorts from 1.23000 or 1.25000 back down...My analysis for GBP/USD (GU) this week focuses on the continuation of the bearish trend, as the price has been consistently breaking structure to the downside. I anticipate that the price will follow through and mitigate a nearby supply level, creating an opportunity to capitalize on the current market conditions.
I’ll be looking to take sell positions once the price reaches one of my identified supply levels, such as the 5-hour or 7-hour zones. At these levels, I expect the price to slow down on the lower time frames, signalling a continuation of the bearish trend. If the price moves lower and taps into the 1-hour demand zone, we could see a temporary bullish reaction before the downtrend resumes.
Confluences for GU Sells:
- The price remains very bearish on the higher time frames.
- The DXY is strongly bullish, aligning with this bearish trend for GU.
- A clean supply zone has caused a Break of Structure (BOS) to the downside.
- The market is forming lower lows and lower highs.
- Liquidity below still needs to be taken.
Note: If the price continues to drop without tapping into my POIs, I’ll wait for another break of structure, which may create a new supply zone. Alternatively, I might look for a counter-trend buy from a valid demand zone back up to a supply level.
Scary ChartI took a look at the longer-term chart for GBP/USD and it looks like the market has recently failed at the top of an eight-year down channel – if this is correct there is a lot more downside pain to come for Sterling.

Why is the GBP Selling Off?The GBP/USD pair has seen a significant drop, plunging to 1.2191, a level last witnessed in November 2023. This decline comes despite rising UK bond yields, with the 30-year yield reaching 5.47% and the 10-year yield at 4.8%, both historic highs not seen in decades. Typically, such yields would support the pound; however, lingering fears of inflation and fiscal instability have outweighed this effect. The UK faces economic challenges, including increased borrowing costs and fiscal constraints under Chancellor Rachel Reeves' leadership. Meanwhile, the US dollar continues to gain momentum, driven by strong economic indicators and rising Treasury yields. As traders monitor the unfolding fiscal policies in the UK and any shifts in US trade strategies, the GBP/USD pair is likely to remain volatile. Keep an eye on these developments, as they will be key drivers in determining future price action in this currency pair.
EUR/USD Bearish PennantThe EUR/USD pair on the M30 timeframe presents a potential selling opportunity due to a recent downward breakout from a well-defined Bearish Pennant pattern. This suggests a shift in momentum towards the downside in the coming Hours.
Key Points:
Sell Entry: Consider entering a short position around close to the breakout level. This offers an entry point near the perceived shift in momentum.
Target Levels:
1st Support – 1.0242
2nd Support – 1.0205
