GBPUSD analysis as of 4/10 3:19pm Mind you, i still have a bullish trade going from my previous long trade.. I removed my take profit yesterday and im continuing to monitor the market. but as for now these are the numbers we are looking at. The market has really overextended itself—prices are at levels that feel too high compared to the earlier consolidation. On the 1‑hour, 4‑hour, and daily charts, I’m spotting clear bearish signals (like the bearish bet-hold patterns, closing marubozu, bearish engulfing, and even hikkake formations) that suggest sellers might soon step in. Even though the higher timeframes still hold an overall bullish bias, these short-term resistance patterns are warning me that the rally may be topping out. Given this, my plan is to close out my bullish trade as soon as I get confirmation of a reversal. I’m watching for a clear candlestick signal—a bearish engulfing pattern, a pin bar, or any strong rejection on the lower timeframe (say the 15‑minute or even a confirming close on the 1‑hour) around the 1.293–1.290 area. Once I see that confirmation, I’ll lock in my profits from the bullish trade and then pivot to a sell. I’d target my short entry near that level, with a stop-loss just above recent highs (around 1.296–1.297), aiming for a retracement toward the previous support zone (around 1.278–1.281). In short: I’ll close my bullish position when the price clearly shows it’s reversing from these overextended, overbought highs, and then I’ll open a sell trade to take advantage of the expected short-term pullback. This approach lets me protect my gains and capitalize on the bearish signals emerging from the chart.

Analysis of the Trend of the GBPUSDThe GBPUSD is currently showing a gradually rising trend. An important support level is 1.28850, which is the lower boundary of the current range. Once it is broken below, it may suggest a reversal of the trend to a bearish one. Before that, we should still mainly choose to go long and use short selling as a supplement. GBPUSD trading strategy buy @：1.29200-1.29300 sl 1.28850 tp 1.29750-1.29850 If you approve of my analysis, you can give it a thumbs-up as support.

GBP/USD Bullish Breakout Setup – Entry, Target & Stop Loss AnalyEMA 200 (blue line): 1.28423 – typically used to define long-term trend direction. EMA 30 (red line): 1.28253 – shorter-term trend indication. Currently, the price is above the 30 EMA and slightly above the 200 EMA, suggesting short-term bullish momentum with potential for trend reversal or continuation. 🟪 Key Zones and Levels: Entry Point Zone: Around 1.28242–1.28423 (highlighted in purple). Stop Loss: Set slightly below the purple demand zone at 1.27931. Target (EA TARGET POINT): Marked around 1.29809. 🧠 Trade Setup Summary: Risk/Reward: Good – aiming for a ~1.19% gain (~152.5 pips), with a relatively tight stop loss. Structure: The price has broken above a consolidation range (demand zone) and retested the zone (potential bullish retest). EMA crossover could soon occur if the 30 EMA crosses above the 200 EMA, confirming bullish sentiment. ✅ Bullish Confirmation Signs: Higher lows forming. Break and retest of previous resistance (now support). EMA proximity breakout is occurring. Strong bullish candles near the entry level. ⚠️ Things to Watch: If price closes strongly above 1.2860–1.2870, that could signal momentum continuation. Failing to hold 1.2824–1.2800 might invalidate the setup and trigger the stop loss. Watch for fundamental events (economic news, especially from UK/US) that could cause sudden volatility.

Gbpusd signal buy GBP/USD tested higher on Wednesday, climbing back over the 1.2800 handle after broad-market sentiment recovered across the board. The Trump administration has once again pivoted away from its own “no exceptions, no delays” tariff policy, and has again delayed tariffs, this time for 90 days. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) indicator on the 4-hour chart stays below 50 despite the latest rebound, suggesting that buyers remain reluctant to commit to a steady recovery in Pound Sterling.

I've been tracking the GBPUSD, and here's where I stand 12:10pmCurrent Price & Overextension: The price is currently at 1.29380, which is still well above the recent consolidation range of 1.281–1.285. This tells me the market remains overextended, suggesting that the strong rally may be due for a pullback. Technical Snapshot: On the 1‑hour chart, my moving averages—such as the EMA, DEMA, and KAMA—are aligned near the price, confirming that the broader uptrend is intact. However, oscillators like the RSI, which is around 75, and the StochRSI sitting at 100, indicate that the market is extremely overbought. These overbought conditions make me anticipate a short‑term reversal. Directional & Volatility Factors: The directional indicators still point to bullish momentum (with the PLUS_DI notably higher than the MINUS_DI), but the recent surge seems impulsive when I compare the price to the established support zone. With an ATR around 0.00538, I see that the price has moved significantly for the range, suggesting that a retracement is likely. My Trade Setup: Given this setup, I’m watching for clear rejection signals—like a bearish engulfing pattern or a firm pin bar—around the upper levels of the range, roughly between 1.292 and 1.290. If I see these reversal signals, I'll plan to enter a short position with a tight stop just above recent highs (around 1.296–1.297). My profit target would be set toward the consolidation zone around 1.278–1.281, which offers me a favorable risk/reward ratio. Fundamental Backdrop: Recent fundamental news, particularly the conflicting tariff policies, has spurred significant volatility. This volatility, combined with the technical overextension, reinforces my expectation that the current upward move is unsustainable in the short term. In short, even though the overall trend remains bullish, the pair's current overbought condition and extreme price levels signal an impending short-term pullback. I'm getting ready to take advantage of that temporary reversal with careful, tight risk management.

Still pending clear confirmationPrice Action Overview: From 1:00 AM to 10:00 AM today, I see the price steadily rising from around 1.2829 to a current close of about 1.29131. The 10:00 candle even touched a high of 1.29248. This sequence suggests that the market is testing the upper bound of the recent consolidation range. Consolidation and Potential Overextension: Although the movement from roughly 1.282 up to 1.292 is relatively tight, I interpret this as the price moving near the top of its recent consolidation zone. In earlier analysis, I identified the 1.281–1.285 region as a base, and a rally above that, especially reaching near 1.292, indicates that the move might be overshooting its sustainable range. This aligns with my view that the rally is overextended and a pullback could be imminent. Candlestick Insights and Intraday Reversal Clues: Looking at these recent candles, I notice that while the 10:00 candle closed with an upward gain (+21.8 pips) and the 9:00 candle also posted an upward move (+22.3 pips), the overall pattern shows modest moves with small bodies, suggesting that buyers are active but perhaps not strongly in control. There’s also that slight dip at 1:00 AM (a -15.0 pip move) which hints at the underlying volatility and potential exhaustion. These factors lead me to believe that the recent rally may be unsustainable. Indicator and Fundamental Context Reinforced: My previous analysis—supported by an overbought RSI reading on the 1‑hour and the overall bearish technical patterns (like the bearish marubozu and long-line bearish candles) on lower timeframes—remains valid. The fresh fundamental news adding volatility likely contributed to this impulsive rally, and now the market appears to be testing its high without much conviction. What I’m Watching and the Trade Setup Going Forward: Given this recent data, I’m focused on the area between 1.292 and 1.290. If I see a clear reversal pattern (for example, a bearish engulfing candle or a pin bar developing on the 15‑minute chart around these levels), that would confirm my expectation of sellers stepping in. I’d look to enter a short position around 1.292–1.290, with a stop-loss set just above the current high (around 1.296–1.297) to account for typical volatility. This approach is consistent with targeting a move down toward support in the 1.278–1.281 range, offering a favorable risk/reward ratio.

GBPUSD Buy opportunityGBPUSD can have a good opportunity for buy position. For these reasons : 1. the bullish trend line shows the bullish trend. and price can reaction to the trend line again. 2. intersection of the support zone and the trend line can make the bullish movement more strong. 3. RSI divergence shows that the price will decrease and then we can see the price hitting whit the support level and the trend line. Trigger : after that price hitting the support level and the trend line we can open a buy position whit a candle stick. Stop loss : the stop loss can be below the candle stick or below the trend line. It's just my personal analysis and I have no responsibility for your trades. thanks for your attention.

GBP/USD – 15M Short Setup (NY Session)Took a short position after a clear rejection from a key supply zone right at the New York Open, following a strong bullish push during London. 🧠 Trade Idea & Confluences: • Supply Zone: Price tapped into a 15M supply area, showing multiple rejections with wicks and bearish momentum. • Structure Shift: Break of minor bullish structure – signaling a possible reversal. • NY Open Volatility: Leveraging high volume for a strong move away from supply. • EMA Confluence: Price losing the 20 EMA, now acting as dynamic resistance. • Risk-to-Reward: Solid R:R (~3R), targeting an untapped demand zone and imbalance fill below. 🎯 Trade Setup: • Entry: After bearish engulfing on rejection from supply • Stop Loss: Above the recent high • Take Profit: Into 15M demand zone, near previous Asian session highs ⸻ If you want, I can also add a few hashtags for better visibility: #GBPUSD #SmartMoney #SupplyDemand #DayTrading #ForexStrategy #NYSession #PriceAction #15MChart #TradeSetup

GBPUSD My analysis for 4/10 8:55am. I’ve analyzed all the information—the price action, indicators, candlestick patterns, and the fresh fundamental news—and here’s why I believe this trade is compelling: Overextension and Price Structure: Right now, the price is at 1.29490, which is significantly higher than the recent consolidation range of 1.281–1.285. This tells me that the market has pushed far beyond its comfort zone—a classic setup for a reversal pullback. I recognize this overextension as a warning sign that the rally might be overdone, especially when I consider the intraday price structure. Candlestick Patterns and Timeframe Confluence: On the 1‑hour and 15‑minute charts, I’m seeing strong bearish candlestick formations like bearish marubozu and long-line bearish candles. These patterns show that sellers have been in control, and they typically indicate a clean, unimpeded move to the downside when a reversal begins. Even though there are some mixed signals on the weekly charts (with dojis and uncertain high waves suggesting indecision), the microstructure on the shorter timeframes tells me there's immediate selling pressure that I can exploit. Indicator Confirmation: I’m also paying close attention to my indicators. The RSI on the 1‑hour chart is around 71, pushing into overbought territory, which signals that the upward momentum has likely peaked. Directional indicators, including the PLUS_DI versus MINUS_DI, further support a bias toward a corrective move downward. The ATR of approximately 0.00538 gives me a concrete measure of volatility, which I can use to set a well-defined stop-loss. Fundamental Catalyst: The market’s recent surge has been partly driven by fresh fundamental news—contrasting tariff policies where the U.S. has relaxed tariffs while China hikes them. This divergence has spurred a burst of volatility and risk-off behavior. I see this fundamental news as amplifying the current overextension; the initial rally was impulsive, and now the fundamentals back the idea that the move isn’t sustainable. Trade Setup and Risk Management: Based on this confluence, I plan to wait for a clear reversal signal on the lower timeframes—a bearish engulfing candle or a pin bar, ideally forming around 1.292–1.290. That’s when I would enter a short position. I’d set my stop-loss just above the recent highs (around 1.296–1.297) to accommodate normal volatility, as indicated by my ATR. For my profit target, I’m aiming for the support level around 1.278–1.281, which provides me with a favorable risk/reward ratio. In summary, I believe this trade is attractive because the current price is clearly overextended relative to a recent consolidation, and the technical indicators (including bearish candlestick patterns and an overbought RSI) confirm that sellers have the upper hand in the short term. Coupled with the fundamental catalyst driving uncertainty, it makes sense for me to target a reversal pullback. Waiting for that confirmation around 1.292–1.290 with tight risk controls gives me confidence that I’m entering a high-confluence trade with strong downside potential.
