๐ EUR/GBP Analysis โ Bearish Breakdown from Rising Wedge | Short Trade Setup
โฑ๏ธ Timeframe: 45-Minute
๐ฑ Pair: Euro / British Pound (EUR/GBP)
๐ Date of Analysis: April 14, 2025
๐ Market Bias: Bearish (Short Setup)
๐ง Technical Pattern Analysis: Rising Wedge (Bearish Reversal)
The market formed a Rising Wedge pattern, a well-known bearish reversal formation that typically signals weakening bullish momentum before a price drop.
The wedge began forming after a bullish rally from the support zone (0.85000โ0.85200).
Price made successive higher highs and higher lows, but the slope of the upper and lower trendlines started to converge โ a clear sign of exhaustion in buying pressure.
Price action tested the resistance zone (0.86800โ0.87000) multiple times but failed to break higher, forming a series of wicks and rejections near this level.
Eventually, the market broke down below the lower wedge trendline, confirming the bearish reversal.
This breakout is supported by strong bearish candles and a shift in structure, where lower highs and lower lows begin forming.
๐งฑ Structure Breakdown: Key Levels
๐น Support Zone โ 0.85000 to 0.85200
A strong historical level where price previously consolidated before launching upward.
This zone now becomes the final downside target for the short setup.
๐บ Resistance Zone โ 0.86800 to 0.87000
Multiple rejections from this level created a strong supply zone.
This is where the wedge topped out, confirming market hesitation.
๐ Breakout Confirmation
The wedge breakdown occurred after a rejection from resistance.
The retest of the wedge breakdown line gave an opportunity for a safe short entry confirmation.
๐ Trade Setup: Bearish Outlook

๐ง Professional Commentary
This EUR/GBP setup is a textbook case of a rising wedge giving way to a clean breakout and trend reversal. The support and resistance levels are well defined, and the market behavior around those zones indicates strong institutional involvement. Traders can expect increased volatility around support, so a trailing stop or partial profit strategy near TP1 is advisable.
If price respects the bearish momentum and breaks below 0.85800 decisively, there's a high probability of continuation toward 0.85400โ0.85200.
