GBPUSD 1H chart✅ What I Like:
Clean Fair Value Gap (FVG):
The FVG is clearly defined and price is actively returning to it.
This offers a textbook point of interest (POI) for a potential short.
Price Delivered into Premium:
This FVG is sitting in a premium zone (above the equilibrium of the recent swing), making it a good area for potential shorts if internal liquidity has been swept.
Aggressive Displacement Candle:
The bullish candle that tapped into the FVG is impulsive — might be a liquidity run, grabbing buy-side liquidity before a reversal.
⚠️ Concerns:
No Clear Liquidity Sweep Yet:
There’s no obvious run on recent highs before price hits the FVG.
Without a liquidity grab, the setup might lack that “smart money” confirmation.
No Market Structure Shift Confirmed:
We’re still in bullish short-term structure unless we break a recent low.
A reversal from the FVG needs confirmation via lower-timeframe BOS.
Dollar News Event Approaching?
The FVG reaction could fake out if major USD data is near.
Fundamentals can disrupt clean technical setups.
🧠 Final Thoughts:
If this setup is to be shorted:
Wait for 15m or 5m structure shift.
Look for signs of exhaustion or rejection in the FVG zone (e.g., bearish engulfing, liquidity sweep of intraday highs).
If price pushes above the FVG without rejection, it may invalidate the short and continue toward higher liquidity.
High-probability zone, but needs confirmation + narrative.
