GBPUSD TP1 smashed holding still for TP2 and TP3 (weekly AOI)
GBPUSD nathanadonis11 - That's solid / good trade level and direction for the SWING/Intra. Good Going! All the best for the trade.
GBPUSD What's wrong with the chart uploads! Anyways here are the levels to observe.It still cannot decide the direction even after the news! but overall bearish (getting a support from HTF Mean) = STUCK
Its a good trait to get ready for the Weekend party!
Later!

DXY Buyers defended 1.3270s fast. The algo flush swept short-term liquidity below the range and snapped back hard.Key Zones to Watch:
> 1.3260–1.3270: Demand zone - the spike low.
> If this breaks convincingly, GU could bleed down to 1.3225 or even 1.3200 intraday.
> 1.3310–1.3335: Intraday resistance. Price might revisit if bulls reclaim strength.
Tactical Bias is Neutral to bullish short-term, as long as 1.3260 holds.
Bears only take control if we close candles below 1.3255 with volume.
So, nothing has been decided yet, stay in cash! NO FOMO / FUD!

GBPJPY DXY NFP Data Just Dropped :
Actual: 177K 👀 better than forecast 130K, but still lower than previous 185K)
Unemployment: 4.2% (flat—no surprise)
Market Reaction at first glance:
GU spiked down initially , that’s algo traders reacting to the headline beat on NFP.
But it's not a strong beat, just a “not terrible” one. Still slower job growth vs. last month.
This is "meh-strong" data Not weak enough to crash USD (We still holding Shorts on GU and longs in GJ)
> If GU reclaims above 1.3325–1.3340, expect a short squeeze toward 1.3370+
> If it holds below 1.3280, continuation lower to 1.3250 and 1.3180 is in play
GBPUSD GBPJPY DXY> Non-Farm Payrolls (NFP):
Forecast: 130K
Previous: 228K > 185 Public Revised
Expecting a big slowdown in job creation
> Unemployment Rate:
Forecast: 4.2%
Previous: 4.2%
No change expected, but if it ticks up = bearish for USD
Stay in Cash! Until a clear direction!
1. Weak NFP (< 100K or job loss) + Unemployment rises
DXY drops hard
USD gets smoked
GBPUSD spikes → could aim for 1.3400+
2. Mild Miss (NFP ~110–130K) + Unemployment steady
Mixed reaction
GU might spike initially, then chop as traders digest
Could trap both sides before trending
3. Strong Surprise (NFP > 170K) + Unemployment drops
USD pumps
GU dumps hard — 1.3280 or even 1.3250 gets challenged
Narrative is that Jobs market is solid, Fed may still stay hawkish = Dollar strong
