GBPUSD: The dollar hit a one-month high amid interest rate cut sThe US dollar rose to a one-month high on Wednesday on shifting market expectations for interest rate cuts and weak economic data from China. The dollar index, which measures the dollar's value against a basket of currencies, rose to 103.58, its highest since December 13th. This increase follows Tuesday's 0.67% rise. The dollar's rise was fueled in part by comments from U.S. Federal Reserve official Christopher Waller. He noted that the U.S. is close to the Fed's 2% inflation target, but advised against cutting rates early until he is confident that the decline in inflation is sustainable. Following Waller's comments, the probability of a rate cut in March, as measured by CME's FedWatch tool, fell from 75% to about 60%. At the same time, yields on U.S. government bonds rose. In contrast to other currencies, the pound rose 0.1% against the dollar to $1.2646, supported by rising UK inflation data. This has fueled expectations that the Bank of England may cut interest rates more slowly than other central banks.

GBPUSD Trade IdeaThe GBPUSD daily chart suggests a confirmed downside break of market structure. While a healthy retracement is ongoing, the 50-61.8% Fibonacci retracement zone offers a possible shorting opportunity if price action confirms on a lower timeframe (e.g., 15m / 5m). Targets lie at the current candle low and prior daily lows (refer to snapshot). Please note: This is an informative analysis, not a trade recommendation. Conduct your own due diligence and risk management before taking any trading decisions.

ELLIOTT WAVE Forecast: Euro and Pound Under PressureHello Traders, From my previous short call on GBPUSD on the 13th of December (), I noted some economic indices that favours US dollar over GBP. The analysis is unfolding pretty well. The British pound (GBP) continues to face strong pressure from the U.S. dollar, causing it to lose its position after the impulsive breakout of the ending diagonal at 1.27035. This was expected, but we haven't reached the predicted target yet. With the Euro (euro) also expected to decline, it's unlikely the pound will recover. Looking at the currency pair, it seems the pound is about to drop more. This is due to a complex correction in the market trend. So, it's a good idea to stick with selling the pound (GBP). If the price drops below 1.2610 and stays there, I will consider selling more towards the final leg wave (Y). I will keep selling GBPUSD at 1.2610, and if the price goes below, I will sell more. My stop loss is set at 1.2635 and I aim to take profit at 1.2470 or lower. I will keep an eye on the market for any changes. Cheers and happy trading.

💡 GBPUSD: Waiting for new signalAlthough down, last Friday's D1 GBPUSD bar has the form of a bullish pinbar pattern, showing buying pressure from below. Right in front is also a bullish pinbar. Although it is moving sideways and accumulating in the inside bar model, GBPUSD D1 is putting pressure on the upper border, easily leading to a break to the upside. The accumulation structure with upward sloping price bottoms and sideways price peaks creates upward price pressure for GBPUSD H1, which is the reason for continuing to choose buying ideas for GBPUSD today.

GBPUSD → Two Sell Signal Bars! Time to Short? Let's Answer.GBPUSD gave us more upward price action to finish last week and thus far has failed to break the neckline. The Weekly chart shows two wicks over the 200EMA, but not a clean break. Should we short here? How do we trade this?  🤔 We do not yet have the justification to short for several reasons. Most important, we're lacking a confirmation bar below the 200EMA. We have the two sell bars, but notice the last Daily candle from last week, it's a strong buy bar near a resistance line. A buy bar at a resistance line is not a buy signal because the context doesn't support a buy here. Buy bars this late in the game are often indicative of a potential reversal. The bulls tried to buy after a quick dip in price but failed to close above the 200EMA. This is a sign of potential weakness, key word: *potential*. That weakness needs to be confirmed with a strong bear bar closing on or near its low. Such a dip will likely bring us to the 30EMA where I would expect some support. My preference would be to wait for that price action to either close below the 30EMA, or come back up to the Resistance Zone (as depicted) and fail again to confirm the short entry. Until then, it's best to wait on the sidelines for the required price action. 💡  Trade Idea  💡 Short Entry: $2,225 🟥 Stop Loss: $2,510 ✅ Take Profit: $1,940 ⚖️ Risk/Reward Ratio: 1:1 🔑  Key Takeaways  🔑 1. Two Sell Signals at Resistance Zone 2. Failed to break 200EMA 3. Watch for Bear Close Below 200EMA and a re-test of Resistance Zone. 4. Look for Strong Bear Signal at Resistance to Short. 5. RSI near 58.00 above Moving Average, Contradicts Short Bias. 💰  Trading Tip  💰 A buy bar in isolation (bull candle with a large wick on the bottom) is a bullish bar. But bars in isolation are irrelevant when it comes to addressing a chart. Context is everything and when a buy bar appears near a Resistance Zone at what is possibly the end of a trend, it should not be considered a buy signal, but potentially a sign of weakness before the bears take over. ⚠️  Risk Warning!  ⚠️ Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.
