GBPUSD entry analysisGBPUSD Analysis After outperforming its rivals in the first half of the week, the US Dollar (USD) lost some of its strength on Thursday, with the US Dollar Index down 0.4%. The positive shift in risk sentiment made it difficult for the USD to find demand, while falling US Treasury yields further weighed on the currency. The September Durable Goods Orders and the October University of Michigan (UoM) Consumer Sentiment Index will be on the US economic calendar on Friday. The UoM data is unlikely to cause a reaction as it will be a revision. If Durable Goods Orders unexpectedly rise, the initial reaction could support the USD. On the other hand, a worse-than-expected reading of -1% could hurt the currency and allow GBP/USD to move higher towards the end of the week. Meanwhile, US stock futures were last up 0.1% to 0.2%. A bullish open on Wall Street could attract risk-on money and weaken the USD further in the second half of the day. Technical Analysis GBPUSD BUY entry is set around the current price zone with a Fibonacci retracement of 0.618. The current price zone is expected to capture the end of wave 2 and form a breakout point for wave 3 according to the Elliot wave pattern. Wish you a successful trading day.

Fundamental Market Analysis for October 28, 2024 GBPUSDThe GBP/USD pair started the new week on a weaker note and is trading around 1.29600-1.29550. Spot prices, however, remain within striking distance of the lowest level since August 16, near 1.29000 reached last week, and appear vulnerable to an extension of the month-long downtrend amid a bullish US Dollar (USD). On Friday, the U.S. Census Bureau reported that U.S. Durable Goods Orders fell 0.8% in September, which was slightly better than expectations of a 1% decline. Additional details of the report showed that new orders excluding transportation costs rose 0.4% in the reporting month. In addition, the University of Michigan's consumer sentiment index hit a six-month high of 70.5 in October, which was better than both the preliminary result and the previous month's reading. This data supports the view that the Fed will continue to moderate rate cuts throughout the year, which in turn triggers a new rise in US Treasury yields and continues to support the dollar. The British Pound (GBP), on the other hand, is weakened by rising bets on further interest rate cuts by the Bank of England (BoE) in November and December, backed by a drop in the UK Consumer Price Index to its lowest level since April 2021 and below the central bank's 2% target. The aforementioned fundamental backdrop suggests that the path of least resistance for the GBP/USD pair lies to the downside. Even from a technical perspective, recent repeated failures near the psychological 1.30000 mark support the prospects of a continued decline from the 1.34350 area, or the highest level since February 2022, reached last month. Trading recommendation: Trade predominantly with Sell orders from the current price level.

GBPUSD💡The GBP/USD pair is moving within a descending price channel on the 4-hour frame, indicating a general bearish bias. Specific levels (R.1 for resistance and S.1 and S.2 for support) can offer trading opportunities. Buying may be appropriate when approaching support areas, while selling may be appropriate when approaching resistance areas. Monitoring the pivot point (P.P) area is important, as it may determine if there is a reversal in the trend. ⛔️Not investment advice, for educational purposes only

1.285 target Technical Analysis: GBP/USD has shown resistance near the 1.30 level in recent trading sessions, which has consistently acted as a barrier against upward movements. With current downward momentum, the next significant support level is at 1.285, a zone that has previously held when GBP has faced similar selling pressure. This makes 1.285 a viable target for downward movement if resistance at 1.30 remains unbroken​ Market Sentiment and Fundamentals: The U.S. dollar is currently strong due to robust U.S. economic indicators, particularly employment and inflation resilience, which support the USD’s position relative to GBP. Additionally, as the Bank of England maintains a cautious stance on further rate hikes, the GBP lacks sufficient bullish drivers, making a pullback toward 1.285 likely if USD momentum persists​ Expected Economic Data Impact: Upcoming U.S. data could reinforce dollar strength if it aligns with recent trends. This expectation for continued dollar demand supports a bearish view on GBP/USD and aligns with 1.285 as a feasible target within the week.

What will G/U do during NFP?As we get close to the end of the month, I think it will be interesting to see what G/U does. Here is my take on G/U.. I am looking for continued sells but am also aware that it should be having a PB soon. Will that PB be a slight reversal? I think it is too early to tell, but will watching market open to closely determine my next move for this pair. Monthly: Overall Bullish -current M Candle opened bearish, possible trend change - 4d to close Weekly: Trend is currently consolidating, expect possible PB before more sells Daily: Trend is bearish - prev D candle did not close showing more selling pressure 4hr: Trend is bearish, has just broken out of consolidation for more sells, will be tapping into FVG for possible short term buys 1hr: Trend will continue to be bearish, cross of EMAs, however expect PB before going lower Gameplan: 1) Wait to see how candles will open, this will determine true direction 2) Look for continued sells with some buying opportunity 3) Wait for all of your confirmations before entering the trade
