GBPUSDHello Traders! 👋 What are your thoughts on GBPUSD? GBP/USD has broken support zone and its ascending trendline, indicating a shift in momentum. The pair is currently in a pullback phase, retesting the broken support zone, which now acts as resistance. Once the pullback is complete, we expect further downside toward the next identified support level. As long as the price remains below the broken zone, the bearish outlook remains valid, and rallies may offer sell opportunities. Don’t forget to like and share your thoughts in the comments! ❤️

GBP/USD 4H Bullish Reversal Setup Analysis:The chart shows GBP/USD breaking out of a descending channel, signaling a potential bullish reversal. Price has bounced from a strong support zone (highlighted in yellow), with bullish momentum building. The breakout is backed by a higher low structure, which often precedes an uptrend continuation. Key Levels: Support: 1.3349 First Resistance / TP1: 1.3552–1.3557 Final Target / TP2: 1.3737–1.3752 Outlook: If price holds above 1.3439 and breaks 1.3552 with volume, the next leg toward 1.3750 is likely. Watch for retests of the breakout level for confirmation before entering long. 📈 Bias: Bullish above 1.3439 🕐 Timeframe: 4H chart Let me know if you want SL (stop loss) and entry suggestions too.

GBPUSD: A Bearish Outlook on the Daily ChartGBPUSD: A Bearish Outlook on the Daily Chart On the daily chart, GBPUSD looks like it is preparing to start a downtrend. I don’t expect GBPUSD to fall that easily. It is likely to wait for the FOMC meeting at the end of the month before starting a bearish wave. At this point, GBPUSD could be in a correction before taking a turn. Key target areas: 1.3190; 1.3000 and 1.2750 You may find more details in the chart! Thank you and Good Luck!

GBPUSD Traders Beware: A Major Drop Could Be ComingThe classic rule says what doesn’t go up must come down. After a failed breakout at 1.3439, GBPUSD is struggling. With longs sitting on big gains from January’s low, a drop toward 1.3361 or even lower looks likely. Watch this key level now. This content is not directed to residents of the EU or UK.

GBPUSD → Hunting for liquidity before the fallFX:GBPUSD is forming a countertrend correction towards the liquidity zone amid a correction in the dollar. Are there any chances for a trend break? The currency pair is taking advantage of the opportunity to test the trend resistance and consolidation amid the dollar correction. Focus on the nearest resistance level of 1.3467, behind which lies a pool of liquidity relative to the local trend. Based on the overall market sentiment (bearish), a breakout of the 1.3467 resistance could trigger a downward pullback. Resistance levels: 1.3467 Support levels: 1.3370 If, during the retest of the specified liquidity zone, the market is unable to continue its upward movement and the price returns below the level, we will have a chance to catch a decline within the current trend. Best regards, R. Linda!

Short Opportunity on GBPUSD – Technical & Fundamentals AlignToday I want to look at the Short position opportunity in GBPUSD ( FX:GBPUSD ). So let's take a look at the GBPUSD pair from a fundamental and technical perspective. Fundamental Analysis: The British Pound remains under pressure due to growing expectations of a 25–50 bps rate cut by the Bank of England in early August. Markets are increasingly leaning toward easing as UK inflation hit 3.6% in June, the highest in over a year, while economic growth weakened and consumer confidence dropped to its lowest since early 2024 Ongoing fiscal concerns, including potential tax hikes and budget instability, continue to weigh on the pound. In contrast, the US Dollar( TVC:DXY ) remains relatively robust—supported by strong economic data and a safe-haven preference amid global uncertainty Summary: BoE easing becomes more likely due to weak UK data and inflation. Fiscal risks and low consumer sentiment add downward pressure on GBP. USD strength from solid data and safe-haven demand supports further GBPUSD downside. ------------------------- In terms of technical analysis , in the 1-hour timeframe , GBPUSD is approaching the Resistance zone($1.356-$1.350) , the Potential Reversal Zone(PRZ) , and the 50_SMA(Daily) . Meanwhile, this return to Important Support lines could act as a pullback to these lines. Important support lines and 50_SMA(Daily) were broken last week. In terms of Elliott Wave theory , GBPUSD appears to be completing a main wave 4 . Main wave 4 is likely to have a Zigzag Correction(ABC/5-3-5) . I expect GBPUSD to start declining from the Potential Reversal Zone(PRZ) and reach the targets I have marked on the chart. Note: Stop Loss(SL): 1.3575USD = Worst Stop Loss(SL) Please respect each other's ideas and express them politely if you agree or disagree. British Pound / U.S Dollar Analysis (GBPUSD), 1-hour time frame. Be sure to follow the updated ideas. Do not forget to put a Stop loss for your positions (For every position you want to open). Please follow your strategy and updates; this is just my Idea, and I will gladly see your ideas in this post.

GBPUSD I Its ready for the deeper pullback - COT OverviewHey what up traders welcome to the COT data and Liquidity report. It's always good to go with those who move the market here is what I see in their cards. I share my COT - order flow views every weekend. 🎯 Non Commercials added significant longs and closed shorts at the same time. So for that reason I see the highs as a liquidity for their longs profits taking. 📍Please be aware that institutions report data to the SEC on Tuesdays and data are reported on Fridays - so again we as retail traders have disadvantage, but there is possibility to read between the lines. Remember in the report is what they want you to see, that's why mostly price reverse on Wednesday after the report so their cards are hidden as long as possible. However if the trend is running you can read it and use for your advantage. 💊 Tip if the level has confluence with the high volume on COT it can be strong support / Resistance. 👍 Hit like if you find this analysis helpful, and don't hesitate to comment with your opinions, charts or any questions.

Japanese Candlestick Cheat Sheet – Part Three- 3 candle patternsSo far in this series, we've broken down single candle formations ( Part 1 ) and explored double candle signals ( Part 2 ) — the kind of patterns that give you quick, often powerful hints about the market’s mood. But now it’s time to go a step further. 👉 In Part 3, we dive into triple candlestick formations — patterns that take more time to form, but often offer stronger confirmation and a more reliable narrative. They’re like reading three full sentences from the market instead of just one or two words. If you’re ready to spot momentum shifts (not noise), this lesson is for you. Let’s decode the story behind formations like Morning Star, Three White Soldiers, and so on. MORNING STAR Bias: Bullish What is the Morning Star pattern? The Morning Star pattern consists of a bearish candle, a small-bodied middle candle, and a bullish candle, forming at the end of a downtrend to signal potential reversal. This pattern reflects a shift from seller dominance to buyer strength, as the middle candle marks a pause before a reversal. The Morning Star is a reliable signal that buyer interest is reemerging. Understanding Morning Stars helps traders anticipate shifts in momentum, providing valuable entry points for new uptrends. Meaning: Found in downtrends; signals potential bullish reversal as buyers gain control, with strength confirmed by the third candle closing above the first. BULLISH ABANDONED BABY Bias: Bullish What is the Bullish Abandoned Baby pattern? The Bullish Abandoned Baby is a rare but powerful reversal pattern that consists of a bearish candle, a gapped doji, and a bullish candle. The middle doji reflects indecision, while the third bullish candle confirms the reversal. This pattern highlights a dramatic shift in sentiment, showing that buyers are prepared to take control. Recognizing the Bullish Abandoned Baby can offer traders insights into pivotal market shifts. Meaning: Appears in downtrends; suggests a strong bullish reversal, as the middle doji shows indecision, with confirmation by a strong bullish move. THREE WHITE SOLDIERS What is the Three White Soldiers pattern? The Three White Soldiers pattern consists of three consecutive bullish candles, each closing higher than the last, often appearing in downtrends to signal a potential bullish reversal. This pattern reflects sustained buying pressure, indicating that buyer sentiment is strong. Psychologically, it shows that buyers are steadily gaining confidence, pushing prices upward. For traders, Three White Soldiers provide a clear signal of momentum, ideal for capturing emerging trends. Meaning: Found in downtrends; signals potential trend reversal, showing sustained buying strength, often signaling the start of a bullish trend. MORNING DOJI STAR What is the Morning Doji Star pattern? The Morning Doji Star pattern is similar to the Morning Star, but with a doji as the middle candle, indicating greater indecision before a reversal. This pattern consists of a bearish candle, a doji, and a bullish candle, highlighting a transition from bearish to bullish sentiment. The doji reflects a moment when market sentiment is balanced, but the third candle confirms a bullish shift. Interpreting Morning Doji Stars can help traders identify turning points in downtrends, providing valuable entry opportunities. Meaning: Appears in downtrends; signals potential bullish reversal, with indecision from the doji and confirmation by a strong bullish candle. EVENING STAR What is the Evening Star pattern? The Evening Star is a three-candle pattern that appears at the top of an uptrend, signaling a potential bearish reversal. It consists of a bullish candle, a small-bodied middle candle, and a bearish candle, showing a transition from buyer control to seller strength. This pattern often appears at market peaks, where optimism is giving way to caution. Understanding the Evening Star pattern helps traders anticipate downtrend formations, allowing them to time their exits. Meaning: Found in uptrends; signals potential bearish reversal as sellers gain control, confirmed if the third candle closes below the first. BEARISH ABANDONED BABY What is the Bearish Abandoned Baby pattern? The Bearish Abandoned Baby is the bearish counterpart to the Bullish Abandoned Baby and consists of a bullish candle, a gapped doji, and a bearish candle. This pattern reveals a dramatic shift in sentiment from bullish to bearish, highlighting a sudden reversal at the top of an uptrend. Recognizing the Bearish Abandoned Baby can offer traders insight into market tops and impending trend changes. Meaning: Appears in uptrends; indicates strong bearish reversal, as indecision in the doji is followed by selling strength. THREE BLACK CROWS What is the Three Black Crows pattern? The Three Black Crows pattern consists of three consecutive bearish candles, each closing lower than the last, appearing in uptrends to signal potential reversal. This pattern reflects sustained selling pressure, indicating that sellers are gaining control. The Three Black Crows highlight a moment when buyer confidence wanes, marking the beginning of downward momentum. For traders, this pattern provides a clear signal to avoid buying into weakening trends or even entering short trades. Meaning: Found in uptrends; signals potential bearish reversal, with sustained selling pressure often marking the start of a downtrend. EVENING DOJI STAR What is the Evening Doji Star pattern? The Evening Doji Star is similar to the Evening Star, but with a doji as the middle candle, highlighting greater indecision. This pattern consists of a bullish candle, a doji, and a bearish candle, indicating a shift from bullish to bearish sentiment. The doji suggests that buyers are losing control, with sellers prepared to reverse the trend. Understanding Evening Doji Stars allows traders to recognize market tops, helping them avoid overextended trends. Meaning: Appears in uptrends; signals potential bearish reversal, as the doji suggests indecision, confirmed by strong selling on the third candle.

GBPUSD → Retest of previously broken resistance...FX:GBPUSD has entered a correction phase after breaking through the local downtrend. If the price remains in the 1.3450–1.346 zone, this will confirm the formation of a new trading range... The market is entering a correction phase due to the dollar. A countertrend retest of the support zone is forming. Earlier, the currency pair broke the local trend and is entering a flat phase. The retest of support may end with a recovery. If, within the local movement and after a false breakout of the 1.345 - 1.3467 zone, the bulls keep the price above the buying zone, then in the short and medium term, we can expect growth to continue. Support levels: 1.3467, 1.345 Resistance levels: 1.35, 1.3584 A false breakdown of support at 1.3467 will confirm a change in the local trend (correction). The market may return to the recovery phase of the global trend. Best regards, R. Linda!

POUND DOLLAR LONG CONTINUATIONMarket Outlook: GBP/USD 25th July 2025. The Pound-Dollar pair continues to maintain a bullish market structure, and our approach remains aligned with the prevailing trend. Recently, the price traded above a key 4-hour high, triggering a deeper pullback into discount pricing within the currently active H4 demand zone. We are now observing price action closely, as this H4 demand level holds potential to serve as the launch point for the next bullish swing. As long as the structure remains intact, we remain buyers from this zone — anticipating a continuation of the upward momentum.

DeGRAM | GBPUSD reached the resistance level📊 Technical Analysis ● Price rejected the rising-channel base at 1.3434 (green arrows) and has broken the eight-day corrective down-trend, restoring the series of higher-lows. ● A new impulse is aiming at the mid-June swing/ channel crest 1.3592; a measured move from the breakout projects the upper rail near 1.3773. Pull-backs toward 1.3500-1.3520 should attract bids while the inner up-sloper holds. 💡 Fundamental Analysis ● Softer US PMI prices pulled 2-yr Treasury yields off highs, trimming USD support, while UK retail-sales surprise (+0.7 % m/m) tempered BoE-cut bets, underpinning sterling. ✨ Summary Long 1.3500-1.3520; hold above 1.3592 targets 1.3770. Invalidate on a 4 h close below 1.3434. ------------------- Share your opinion in the comments and support the idea with a like. Thanks for your support!
