GBPUSD trade ideas

Cable’s direction still unclear after contradictory newsThe Bank of England’s meeting on 6 February somewhat overshadowed the NFP for cable given the significance of the announcements then. Although the cut to 4.5% was quite widely expected, the BoE also cut its forecast for growth in half to 0.75% for 2025 while its outlook for inflation rose to 3.7%, much higher than the previous estimate of 2.8%. That the BoE seems to be concerned about stagflation made traders somewhat nervous, but it still seems unlikely for now to see a significant gap in policy open up between the BoE and the Fed this year. The overall trend for 2025 so far seems to be sideways rather than directional. Recent attempts on the 50 SMA from Bands have failed, which might suggest limited buying pressure, although the price did close the gap from the weekend of 1-2 February very quickly. With $1.25 as a seemingly strong resistance for the time being, losses seem more likely than gains in the runup to American inflation depending on sentiment and political news. The 20 SMA around $1.237 is a possible dynamic support in the very short term. The main static supports seem to be $1.23 and around $1.218. Apart from American inflation on 12 February, traders are also looked ahead keenly to British preliminary GDP the following day, which is a critical release in the context of the BoE’s last meeting. This is my personal opinion, not the opinion of Exness. This is not a recommendation to trade.

NFP FRIDAY: GBPUSD ANALYSISIn the last video that i posted, i mentioned that we should be expecting a pullback from the demand zone. (Please refer to that video). What i never mentioned and i actually overlooked it was the STB(SELL TO BUY) wick zone that was slightly below our zone of interest. Price tapped into it and immediately reversed perfectly. If you were able to get into the buy trade, kudos. For those of us who waited for price to pullback into our supply zone, to sell, this is what NFP did. Well there is still a chance we may get involved in the market but i'm a bit skeptical. If you managed to catch those sells, Congrats, i would still continue holding the sells until we get to the midrange of the Internal structure, at least 1.23386 there about. That's it..... I'll see you on Monday. Happy weekend Fam

GBPUSD NFP Reaction: Running Flat Holding, Bullish Move Incoming GBPUSD remains in line with the running flat structure post-NFP, but the bullish breakout has yet to materialize. Price is holding above key support, and if the pattern plays out, we could see strong upside momentum soon. Will buyers step in, or is more consolidation needed before the move? Stay patient and watch for confirmation! 📊📈🔥 #ForexTrading #GBPUSD #ElliottWave #RunningFlat #NFPReaction #PriceAction #Elliotwavesglobal

GBP/USD at $1.2426: NFP in FocusGBP/USD is trading around $1.2426, down 0.1%, as the market focus shifts to the U.S. jobs report. The pound is under pressure due to the BoE’s forecast of higher inflation and weaker growth, with two officials advocating for a larger rate cut. Meanwhile, the U.S. labor market is expected to add 170,000 jobs and maintain a 4.1% unemployment rate. A strong U.S. jobs report could push GBP/USD lower, while weak data may support the pound. The first resistance level is 1.2500, with the next targets at 1.2600 and 1.2650 if breached. On the downside, initial support is at 1.2340, followed by 1.2265 and 1.2100.
