GBPUSD 4HRSCentral Bank Heads and Policy Influence Bank of England (BoE) – Governor Andrew Bailey Policy Stance: Andrew Bailey has emphasized caution on rate cuts, noting that UK inflation pressures are falling only gradually. The BoE has kept its main rate at 4.5% and signaled that it needs more evidence before easing policy. However, market expectations are shifting, with investors now pricing in two rate cuts in 2024 and a 50/50 chance of a first cut as early as June or August. Impact: The BoE’s cautious approach has supported GBP recently, but dovish signals and the likelihood of rate cuts later in 2025 are weighing on the pound’s medium-term outlook. Bailey’s leadership is seen as steady but data-dependent, and his upcoming role as Chair of the Financial Stability Board may enhance his international influence. US Federal Reserve – Chair Jerome Powell Policy Stance: Jerome Powell has reiterated the need for patience and caution before making any changes to US rates, stressing the importance of more clarity on economic and inflation trends. The Fed’s benchmark rate remains at 4.25%–4.50%, and Powell’s recent comments suggest the Fed is in no rush to cut, especially with inflation still above target and new uncertainties from US tariff policies. Political Pressure: President Trump has publicly criticized Powell for not cutting rates and has threatened his removal, but Powell remains committed to his term and the Fed’s independence. This political tension adds uncertainty but, for now, the Fed’s stance remains steady and data-driven. Impact: The Fed’s reluctance to cut rates supports the dollar, especially as the BoE moves closer to easing. This policy divergence is a key factor in the current and expected bias for GBP/USD. Summary Table: Central Bank Influence on GBP/USD Central Bank Head Current Stance Expected Policy Move Impact on GBP/USD Directional Bias Andrew Bailey (BoE) Cautious, data-driven Rate cuts likely in 2024 Weighs on GBP medium-term, limits upside Jerome Powell (Fed) Patient, hawkish-leaning Rate cuts delayed Supports USD, adds downside risk to GBP/USD Conclusion Near-term: GBP/USD retains a bullish bias above supplyroof , but the upside may be capped as markets anticipate BoE rate cuts while the Fed remains on hold. Medium-term: Policy divergence—BoE turning dovish and Fed staying cautious—suggests a bearish tilt for GBP/USD as 2025 progresses, unless US economic data weakens sharply or the Fed pivots sooner than expected. Central Bank Heads: The leadership and communication styles of Andrew Bailey and Jerome Powell are central to market expectations, with Bailey’s caution and Powell’s patience both shaping the pair’s directional bias. #SHVAYFXHUB

GBPUSD Let’s see if sellers step in.GBP/USD Trade Update: Holding My Sell at 1.32480 I entered a sell trade at 1.32480, expecting a reversal based on key technical and fundamental setups. But with GBP/USD now sitting at 1.33814, I have to reassess market conditions while still staying true to my trading approach. Fundamental Overview – Why I Still Favor Downside This week’s economic events could create volatility, and I’m paying close attention to: UK PMI (April 23): Expected declines in Manufacturing (44.1) and Services (51.0) suggest economic weakness, which could weigh on GBP. US Durable Goods Orders (April 24): Mixed expectations—headline at +1.8%, but ex-defense and transportation are negative, meaning uncertainty in USD strength. UK Retail Sales (April 25): Forecasted at -0.3%, signaling weaker consumer spending. This aligns with my sell bias, as slowing UK economic data could trigger renewed selling pressure. If the UK data disappoints, GBP/USD could struggle to hold higher levels, reinforcing my trade. Technical & Price Action Analysis Resistance Holding at 1.342–1.345: Strong resistance is forming here. If bulls fail to push past this zone, my sell trade could still play out. Wick formations near this level suggest some rejection, but confirmation is needed. Key Support Levels for a Potential Drop: 1.330–1.331 (Flipped Resistance, Now Support) – Watching if price retests this zone. 1.326–1.327 (Major Support) – If momentum shifts, price could revisit this area. 1.321 (Stronger Support) – If price weakens further, this becomes my downside target. Momentum is slowing, but the bullish trend is still intact unless price rejects at 1.342–1.345. Volume Profile & Institutional Behavior – Are Big Players Selling? Signs of Institutional Unloading: Buy-side orders appear strong, but price is not breaking higher with conviction. This could mean large traders are selling into the rally. Watching for a delta imbalance where buyers dominate order flow, but price fails to rise. This is a classic distribution sign. Why This Matters: If institutions are offloading positions near 1.342–1.345, we could see price stall and reverse. My focus is on whether this resistance holds or breaks. That will define whether my sell trade remains valid. My Trade Management Plan – Staying Patient As a daily trader, I wait for the daily candle close before making adjustments. If price rejects 1.342–1.345, I’ll hold my position with targets back toward 1.330–1.327. If price breaks above resistance and holds, I may need to reevaluate my stop-loss placement. Final Thoughts – Trusting My Process I’m still holding my sell at 1.32480, but I recognize that buyers are testing key resistance. If institutions are quietly distributing, we could see a shift back to the bearish side, but I’m waiting for confirmation at the daily close. I’ll update once the daily candle closes. Let’s see if sellers step in.

GBPUSD Trade RecapFX:GBPUSD Friday trade recap on GBPJPY. 📌 The rationale behind taking this trade was firstly, the positive GBP news for Retail Sales of actual 0.4%, greater than the -0.3% forecast. 📌 Secondly, the price tapped into the strong 4H demand zone, while also sweeping the Asian lows. 📌 The news took place on 6 am UTC, while there were no sudden spikes in price during 6 am, we can see a 30 pips price push few minutes after the news, signaling the market price reacting to the news. 📌 Price got rejected twice from the 15 minutes bearish shooting star, creating a strong short term resistance zone. 📌 Since the bias is short term bullish, I waited for a break and retest of the trendline, as soon as price failed to close below the zone, I immediately place buys. 📌 Price Eventually hit TP at a 1:2.46% risk to reward trade but closed at +1.9% to avoid the subsequent red news. 3min chart

As the dollar's weak trend signals an endTrump's remarks and attitudes in trade negotiations have had a significant impact on the market 📈💥 His change in attitude towards the Federal Reserve Chairman first triggered investors' concerns about the Fed's policy, leading them to seek refuge in gold and causing the price of gold to rise 🏆🚀. Later, his remarks alleviated those concerns, prompting funds to flow back into dollar-denominated assets and causing the price of gold to decline from its peak levels 📉💔 In terms of trade negotiations, potential easing measures may reduce the demand for gold as a safe-haven asset ⏳ Taken together, these factors may imply that market confidence in the dollar has been somewhat restored 🌟. When signs of the end of the dollar's weak trend emerge 📊, more funds flow into dollar assets 💸. Against the backdrop of this change in the direction of capital flows, the GBPUSD has declined 😔 ⚡⚡⚡ GBPUSD ⚡⚡⚡ 🚀 Sell@1.32800 - 1.32600 🚀 TP 1.32200 - 1.32000 The market has been extremely volatile lately 📈📉 If you can't figure out the market's direction, you'll only be a cash dispenser for others 💰
