GBPUSD Decision Point | Will the Order Block Hold or Fold?GBPUSD | Smart Money Liquidity Trap or Bullish Breakout? Here’s a high-probability play based on Order Blocks, Fair Value Gaps, and channel structure—one of the cleanest SMC setups on cable this week. 📊 1. Market Overview GBPUSD is currently pulling back after a sharp drop, retesting the premium zone Order Block on the H1 timeframe. Structure remains bullish inside the ascending channel, but there’s major indecision here—will it break above the OB, or retrace deeper into the Fair Value Gap zone? 🧠 2. Dual Bias Logic You’ve mapped out two valid SMC scenarios (marked in red & blue arrows): 🔻 Scenario 1: Bearish Trap + Deep Liquidity Grab Price reacts from the Order Block (purple zone) Rejects and breaks down into the Fair Value Gap (FVG) zone near 1.33300 Targets liquidity resting below prior structure 🔺 Scenario 2: Order Block Respect + Long Continuation OB holds, price flips bullish Pushes above 1.35260 for bullish continuation Final target near channel top @ 1.35920–1.36000 zone Both scenarios are textbook Smart Money setups — based on how price reacts at this OB, we’ll get the direction. 🧱 3. Key Zones 🔵 Order Block: 1.3445 – 1.3526 🔴 Fair Value Gap (FVG): 1.3330 – 1.3283 🟢 Target (Bullish): 1.3600 🔻 Target (Bearish): 1.3280 ⚖️ 4. Risk-Reward Potential Whether you go long from the FVG or short from the OB, both have: ✅ Clean entries ✅ Clear invalidation zones ✅ Strong RRR potential (1:3 to 1:4+) 📌 5. Watchlist Note 💡 If price taps into the OB and shows weak momentum, prepare for shorts targeting the FVG 💡 If it holds the OB cleanly with bullish engulfing or BOS (break of structure), ride the long back to channel highs 💬 Call to Action: 📈 Add GBPUSD to your SMC sniper list this week 💬 Comment “OB or FVG? 🤔” if you're waiting to catch the bounce 📌 Save this post for Smart Money reference setups

GBP/USD Shorts from the daily supplyI’m anticipating a potential retracement as price has been heavily bullish and is now beginning to show signs of being overbought. After recently breaking major structure to the upside, there’s room for a temporary sell-off as price corrects before continuing higher. I’ll be watching for possible reactions from the 59-minute demand zone for a minor bounce, but the more ideal long opportunity would be at the 12H demand zone around 1.3300, where structure is cleaner and confluences align. Confluences for Short-Term Sells: - A recent change of character (CHOCH) to the downside signals a shift in momentum - A clean daily supply zone has been left behind that could initiate a deeper pullback - Significant liquidity below, including the Asia low, ready to be swept - For price to maintain long-term bullish movement, it must first correct, fill imbalances, and mitigate valid demand levels P.S. If price drops further and breaks structure, we’ll likely see a new supply zone form. This will provide a closer and more refined opportunity to participate in the move. Stay sharp and trade safe! 📉📈

GBP/USD BREAKOUT SIGNAL FOR BULLISH CONTINUATION?We were anticipating a breakout of range last week which we finally saw to the upside. The range lasted over a week and the breakout to the upside was a significant signal of bullish strength in price. We are clear on the fact that we are still in a bullish trend and the current correction in price is likely to prepare us for a bull run with no less than 200 pips in sight. Let's observe patiently and let's see how price reacts so we can cash in on any potential move.

GBP/USD - Day Trading Analysis With Volume ProfileOn GBP/USD , it's nice to see a strong buying reaction at the price of 1.35000. There's a significant accumulation of contracts in this area, indicating strong buyer interest. I believe that buyers who entered at this level will defend their long positions. If the price returns to this area, strong buyers will likely push the market up again. Uptrend and high volume cluster are the main reasons for my decision to go long on this trade. Happy trading Dale

GBPUSD Trade IdeaThe GBPUSD pair is showing a strong bullish trend on the 4-hour chart. However, the price currently looks overextended. This suggests the market may be due for a corrective pullback. I’m watching for a pullback into a discounted zone near the fair value gap. If the price moves back into this zone, I’ll look for a bullish break of market structure as a signal to enter long. This plan emphasizes patience and the importance of waiting for a favorable entry rather than chasing an extended move. As always, this is my personal strategy and not financial advice. Proper risk management and discretion are essential.

GBP/USD About to Explode?GBP/USD is currently trading around the 1.3360–1.3380 zone after testing the key weekly resistance area between 1.3400 and 1.3450. The bullish momentum remains strong, supported by speculative positioning still favoring the pound, while the dollar shows signs of softening. On the macro side, the interest rate differential between the UK and the US may narrow in the coming months, but for now, it continues to support upward pressure on the pair. From a technical standpoint, price has broken out of an ascending triangle on the daily chart, showing strong momentum and confirmation with multiple closes above 1.3300. Market sentiment remains skewed to the short side, adding contrarian fuel to the bullish bias. The key short-term support lies between 1.3270 and 1.3300. As long as this area holds, the base case favors a continuation toward 1.3520 and potentially 1.3600. A break below 1.3170 would invalidate the current bullish structure and open the door for a deeper pullback toward 1.3000. From an execution standpoint, a confirmed breakout above 1.3415 could offer a long entry opportunity with active management. Still, caution is advised around the weekly supply zone due to its historical responsiveness. Eyes remain on upcoming macro data and potential volatility from central bank statements.

GBPUSD Breaks Out – Is 1.40 Next?In my previous analysis, I highlighted that GBPUSD was trading in a strong resistance zone and warned of a potential correction toward the sub-1.31 support area. While we did see a brief correction, bears lacked follow-through, and the pair reversed from 1.3136, never quite reaching the expected support zone. 🚀 Break Confirmed – Bulls in Control After bouncing from just above the support zone at 1.3136, GBPUSD began to consolidate and build pressure right under the key resistance area. That build-up acted as a launchpad, and now we have a clean breakout, with price trading well above 1.35, currently around 1.3577. This is a genuine breakout, following a textbook sequence: rejection above support, tight consolidation, and then a decisive push higher — all favoring continuation to the upside. 🎯 W hat’s Next? The next obvious target is the psychological level at 1.40, which aligns with previous key levels and the overall momentum. 📊 Trading Plan: The strategy remains simple: buying dips is preferred. The 1.3450 area is an ideal zone to look for long opportunities, especially if the breakout is retested and confirmed as support. 📌 Don’t chase — let the market pull back, then follow the strength. Momentum is clearly with the bulls. 🚀 Disclosure: I am part of Trade Nation's Influencer program and receive a monthly fee for using their TradingView charts in my analyses and educational articles.

GBP/USD Analysis: Price Searching for SupportGBP/USD Analysis: Price Searching for Support In the second half of May, the British pound showed notable strength: from its 12 May low, GBP/USD climbed to a peak on 26 May — marking its highest level in over three years. Demand for the pound has been driven by several factors: → A surge in inflation. CPI data released last Wednesday came in above expectations. As a result, market participants interpreted this as a reason for the Bank of England to remain cautious about cutting interest rates. Holding rates at elevated levels is generally considered bullish for the pound. → The pound’s relative resilience amid trade tensions, particularly following a newly signed agreement with the US, as well as strengthening trade ties between the UK and the EU. Can the pound continue to rise? The GBP/USD chart offers reasons for doubt. Technical Analysis of the GBP/USD Chart Recent price movements have formed an ascending channel (outlined in blue), and earlier this week, demand was so strong that the pair briefly moved above the upper boundary. But what happened next? That strong buying momentum appears to have faded — resulting in a sequence of lower highs (A→B→C→D), suggesting that the market may be searching for a foothold. Today’s bounce (highlighted by the arrow) hints that such a foothold may have been found. But how reliable is it? And can the uptrend be resumed? → From a bullish perspective: Support may be provided by the lower boundary of the channel, reinforced by the 1.345 level. → From a bearish perspective: The 1.352 level is acting as resistance, further strengthened by the median line. It is possible that the area marked by lower highs (A→B→C→D) could ultimately prove to be an insurmountable barrier for the developing uptrend on the GBP/USD chart.
