GBPUSD - NEXT STOP @1.34343?1. MARKET OVERVIEW GU has been on a very strong uptrend since January so i'm expecting that momentum to continue this week aiming for the old high @1.34343 which is also the Previous Year's High (PYH) and a Key Level. 2. KEY LEVELS I'M WATCHING * Draw On Liquidity(DOL): 1.34343 * Point Of Interest(POI): 1.32411 - 1.32500 3. TRADE BIAS & SCENARIOS I'll stick on being bullish for the rest of the week until price gets to my target which is the PYH(Previous Year High). I'll execute on my buys only if price trades to my POI before trading to my target, on the condition that price trades higher early in the week and gets to my target(without first trading to my POI) i'll cancel my trade order and switch neutral on my BIAS. 4. FINAL NOTE Patience is key, i'll wait for price to come to me and not chase price. Tell me what you guys think about this in the comment.

GBPUSD Analysis 4/22 4:51pmGBP/USD Analysis – Institutional Liquidity, Price Action & Trade Setup Right now, I'm analyzing GBP/USD at 1.33287 in the context of institutional behavior, technical indicators, and upcoming economic events. My focus is on institutional liquidity absorption at resistance, monitoring key levels for an optimal entry. Technical Overview Resistance Zone: 1.33895–1.34234 has been a critical level where price struggled to break higher, suggesting institutional absorption. Support Zone: 1.33200–1.33150 remains an area where buyers could step in, but if it fails, the next downside target is 1.32677–1.32864. Momentum Indicators: RSI (66.15 on the hourly) signals strong momentum, but MACD shows slight bearish divergence, hinting at trend exhaustion. ADX Strength: The 30-minute ADX at 73.43 confirms trend momentum, but the hourly ADX at 17.12 indicates slowing movement, signaling potential institutional positioning. Price Action Insights Lower Highs Forming: Each successive high has been failing, reinforcing the idea that sellers are stepping in at resistance. Liquidity Absorption at 1.33895–1.34234: Institutional players might be taking the other side of buy orders, meaning a trap for retail longs before a drop. Bearish Rejection at 1.33450–1.33600: If price pulls back to this zone and prints a long upper wick, it confirms sell-side control. Volume Profile & Institutional Activity Volume Clustering at Resistance: Previous highs show volume absorption rather than continuation, reinforcing a bearish bias. Delta Imbalance Considerations: Watching sell-side aggression near key levels to confirm institutional pressure. Accumulation/Distribution Patterns: Weekly AD is negative, indicating some distribution rather than accumulation. This approach ensures I'm trading with institutional positioning rather than chasing price movements. I remain patient, watching key zones for liquidity absorption before executing.

GBPUSD Analysis 4/22 11:22amJust FYI i entered my last trade too early. Ill make sure all the signals align next time. I took my losses and kept it moving. GBP/USD Analysis – Institutional Liquidity & Price Action Setup Over the past few weeks, GBP/USD has been in a steady uptrend, posting higher highs and higher lows. However, 1.34234 remains a critical resistance level, and price is showing signs of absorption, suggesting institutions may be stepping in. Technical Overview Recent Highs & Lows: Price peaked at 1.34234, with recent support around 1.33750. Momentum Indicators: The daily RSI remains elevated near 67.8, signaling strong buying interest, but MACD and stochastic fast readings indicate fluctuations. ADX Strength: The 30-minute ADX at 72.4 confirms trend strength, but a fading Aroon Oscillator hints that past bullish waves might be losing steam. Price Action Insights Higher Highs Forming: The past few days show price continuously pushing up, but rejection wicks near 1.33895–1.34234 suggest sell-side pressure building. Potential Lower High Formation: If institutions are absorbing liquidity here, they could be preparing to push price down—meaning a short trade setup is forming. Key Levels to Watch: A break below 1.33750 would confirm bearish momentum, while a clean move above 1.34234 with volume would signal continuation. Volume Profile & Institutional Activity Liquidity Absorption at Resistance: Institutions may be letting retail traders push price up while absorbing their buy orders. If volume clusters at the highs without a breakout, this suggests a reversal could be incoming. Delta Imbalance Considerations: Watching order flow, if sell-side aggression picks up near resistance, it strengthens the bearish case. Volume Spikes & Clustered Activity: If liquidity at 1.33895–1.34234 shows tapering buy-side volume without a breakout, institutions may be trapping longs before driving price down. Trade Plan Given all of this data, my best entry setup is a sell near 1.33895–1.34234, waiting for confirmation: Hourly Rejection Candles: A long upper wick or bearish engulfing candle near resistance would confirm sellers stepping in. Target: A downside move toward 1.33200, where prior liquidity sits, would be a strong take-profit zone. On the flip side, if price breaks above 1.34234 with strong bullish volume, I’ll reassess and look for a buy on a retest, confirming institutional accumulation. This analysis helps me stay disciplined, tracking institutional positioning and liquidity traps rather than chasing impulsive moves. For now, I’m watching hourly candles and volume behavior at resistance before executing my next trade.

Fundamental Market Analysis for April 22, 2025 GBPUSDGBPUSD: The GBP/USD pair is trading in positive territory around 1.3370 during the early Asian session on Tuesday. Concerns over slowing growth in the United States (US) and worries over the independence of the Federal Reserve (Fed) are driving the US Dollar (USD) lower and creating a tailwind for the major pair. US President Donald Trump condemned Powell for continuing to maintain a “wait-and-see” monetary policy until there is clarity on how the new tariff policy will affect the economic outlook. In a Truth social media post, Trump warned that the US economy will slow down if Powell doesn't cut interest rates immediately. Heightened uncertainty surrounding Trump's tariffs and rising trade tensions between the U.S. and China are undermining the U.S. dollar across the board. On the other hand, softer UK consumer price index (CPI) inflation data for March and global uncertainty paved the way for an interest rate cut by the Bank of England (BoE) at its May meeting. Financial markets are now betting on an interest rate cut at the Bank of England's May meeting, estimating an 86% probability of this happening, according to LSEG data. This, in turn, could affect the Pound Sterling (GBP) exchange rate against the US Dollar. Trading recommendation: BUY 1.3425, SL 1.3395, TP 1.3510

GBP/USD bulls to mitigate @1.32500 handle as we start the month with trade wars which the cable possibly will not be part of, optimism has grown around a potential Ukraine peace plan reinforcing Britain’s support. Sterling also has gained strength from the expectations that UK interest rates will remain higher for longer. Bank of England Deputy Governor Ramsden highlighted that persistent wage pressures could keep inflation above target, though he noted future rate cuts may not be gradual. This outlook, combined with geopolitical developments, has boosted investor confidence in the pound and so am hoping for a retest to my fair value price @ 1.27000 handle before the bulls comes in and drives the price to my unmitigated zone 1st Tp @1.32500
