GBP/USD Strategy for European and American Trading SessionsGBP/USD news: 🔆GBP/USD eased after hitting a two-month high of 1.2674 on Friday, hovering around 1.2670 in Asian trade. However, the pair maintained its strength as the US dollar remained under pressure due to weak jobless claims data and mixed signals from the Federal Reserve. 🔆Minutes of the Fed's January policy meeting showed that some policymakers viewed potential changes in trade and immigration policies as obstacles to deflation, putting pressure on the dollar. 🔆During the Asian session, the yield on the 10-year US Treasury note fell below 4.5%, reducing demand for the dollar and allowing GBP/USD to rise. 🔆As the European session begins on Friday, the UK Office for National Statistics will release January retail sales data. Personal opinion: 🔆Good economic news for the Pound continues to maintain the strength of GBP. In contrast to the bad news from Trump's tariff policy, the dollar has weakened. However, FM believes that there will be a pullback phase as the RSI is diverging after entering the overbought zone earlier. GBP will consolidate and rise again. Technical analysis: 🔆Based on important resistance - support and Fibonacci levels combined with economic information to come up with appropriate strategies. Plan: 🔆 Price Zone Setup: 👉BUY GBP/USD 1.2620 – 1.2635 ❌SL: 1.2575 | ✅TP: 1.2670 – 1.2720 – 1.2800 FM wishes you a successful trading day 💰💰💰

GBPUSD H1 I Bearish ReversalBased on the H1 chart, the price is approaching our sell entry level at 1.2654, an overlap resistance that aligns with the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement. A rejection at this level could drive prices lower toward our take profit at 1.2616, an overlap support. The stop loss is set at 1.2691, positioned above the previous swing high, providing sufficient room for fluctuations while ensuring the bearish setup remains valid.

GBP/USD - Fair Value Gap (FVG) Short SetupOverview: A bearish reversal setup based on Fair Value Gaps (FVGs), a concept used in Smart Money trading strategies. Key Technical Insights: 🔹 Fair Value Gap (FVG) Zones: The price is approaching an FVG entry zone around 1.2700, which may act as resistance. A second FVG zone is located around 1.2850 - 1.2900, offering a secondary entry for shorts. 🔹 Bearish Trade Setup: The plan anticipates a reaction at the first FVG zone, leading to a downside move. If price continues higher, the second FVG zone provides another opportunity to enter shorts. 🔹 Stop Loss & Target: Stop Loss: Placed above 1.2928 to protect against invalidation. Target: 1.2350 - 1.2400, aligning with previous demand zones and imbalance filling. Trade Plan: 📌 Entry Strategy: Watch for bearish confirmation (e.g., rejection candles, lower time frame structure shift) at the FVG entry zone. If price moves beyond the first FVG, consider a second entry at 1.2850 - 1.2900. 📌 Exit Strategy: Take Profit: At the 1.2350 - 1.2400 target zone for a favorable risk-to-reward trade.

GBP/USD Longs from 1.25800 up to the 7hr supplyFor this week, I expect GBP/USD to retrace back to the clean, unmitigated 18-hour demand zone before pushing back up toward the 7-hour supply zone that I previously marked. If this move doesn’t play out as expected, I anticipate price will first mitigate the 7-hour supply zone before slowing down and distributing within my point of interest (POI). From there, I’ll be watching for a short move back to the 18-hour demand zone, where I plan to enter buys and continue trading in alignment with the overall market trend. Since price is currently near both POIs, I’ll be keeping a close eye on this setup. Confluences for GU Buys: ✅ Strong bullish trend with consistent breakouts to the upside. ✅ 18-hour demand zone remains unmitigated and was the origin of the last bullish move. ✅ 7-hour supply zone above that also needs to be mitigated. ✅ The Dollar Index (DXY) has been very bearish, further supporting GBP strength. Alternative Scenario: If price reacts strongly from the 7-hour supply zone and breaks below the 18-hour demand, I’ll shift my focus to my next buy zone around 1.25200. Wishing everyone a profitable trading week—let’s finish it in BLUES! 🔵

GBPUSD POTENTIAL SHORT OPPORTUNITYHello Everyone! How are you all? GbpUsd is still presenting a short opportunity that we can capitalize on this week, because it is shaping up very nicely for a bearish trend continuation . So, I will be looking for a sell continuation because of the following reasons: 1. The overall trend is bearish. 2. The price has formed a continuation structure. 3. The price is approaching the value area. Game Plan: If the price comes to the VA, and rejects at that level or sweeps the High, and makes a bearish impulse followed by a 15mins flag with two highs and lows. Entry : will look for a risk sell entry within the flag or a reduced risk entry on the breakout of the flag.

GBPUSD - Bulls Full Steam Ahead!Exceptional delivery to the upside this week with GBPUSD disregarding the weekly SIBI outlined @ 1.28340 - 1.27149 as a form or resistance. GBPUSD failed to tag the lower portion of the inverted BISI @ 1.29452 - 1.31100 indicating the possibility of a short term retracement for this week. I am well aware that GBPUSD is presenting more bullish signatures than bearish at this current time but it's the manipulation in price action that i try to spot and take advantage of. With that being said, I would ideally like the lows to be booked this week by Wednesday latest before seeing an expansion higher
