GBPUSD - Potential intraday sell trade setup GBPUSD started its selloff on Fridays session as USD strength hit the market on better then expected Non-Farm payroll data.
On today's market open, being Monday the liquidity is usually thinner so we have seen price retrace a little higher which could possibly set up a better entry for a potential continuation move lower on GBPUSD.
On the 15 Minute chart, we have marked out a tight selling zone in price that we want to keep an eye on for if price can make its way up there today we could possibly see a rejection lower.
The first level is the 1.3097 mark. This level is a liquidity gap origin where price started its spike move lower. Most of the volume came from this point so this area could cause price to trade lower. This level can also be seen on the 1 Hour chart from the top of the body of the candle.
The level above that is the 1.3100 big figure which can always be a potential psychological level for additional order flow resting there.
Lastly the highest level is the 5 Minute chart liquidity gap origin set at the 1.3106 level.
All of these levels are very close to each other so we will be watching the entire zone for a possible rejection in price, if price does reach this zone we want to see on a minimum 5 Minute chart any potential bearish price patterns complete which can increase the probability.
If price breaks through these levels for any reason this trade is void and no action will take place. We need price to stop here and show weakness.

GBPUSD Short IdeaSimilar to my AUDUSD idea, I have technical reasons to believe that GBPUSD is about to make a swift move downward.
Short term bear trend here has been obscured by absorbent buying on each attempt to flush out longs.

On Weekly timeframe you will see a just recently posted bearish engulfing candle.
On Monthly timeframe you will see a just recently posted hanging man candle.
USD continues to push up with the rest of the market and until trend suggests otherwise, I expect that to continue.
Thoughts?
Trade your own plan, this is just an idea.
Brexit seems to short sell GBPUSDCompleted Butterfly Pattern
Price action is inspired by the real life incidents. Any news or happening will result in great downfall or uptrend. As we know manipulations are going so I cannot ignore the invalidation of analysis.

GBPUSD SHORTAs I mentioned in last weeks post, we are currently testing that 1.29-1.30 support. This area is going to be extremely crucial in determining what comes next but I am expecting a retest of the 1.305 ish price mark before a continuation of the downtrend. The MACD bearish Divergence is now currently confirmed signaling the just now start of that downward trend. The break of the trend line indicated will see us looking to retest the 1.28 zone which may or may not hold and failure to do so will find us headed back down to the 1.26-1.24 range. With HEAVY GBP and BREXIT news next week, I expect a crazy amount of volatility so we want to be very careful trading GBP pairs.
Remember, patience is KEY! GL
