Like always, entries / catalyst analysis given ahead of time. Cheers to the winners again!

Don’t chase the first spike, so expect short-term USD strength, then possible reversal.
It’s bait territory, lets wait to settle and then decide. If you are good at hedging, play it well.
Im still holding my SWING Shorts from on GU (GJ LONG) 29/30 / Take partials wen positive and protect POS!

ISM Manufacturing PMI - Here is what You Need to Know
Releases Today @ 11:30 AM UTC
Forecast: 48
Previous: 49
Actual : PENDING
Below 50 is a Contraction, bad for the economy, bad for USD
1. ISM < 48 - Worse than expected
- USD weakens ⚠️
- DXY drops
- GBPUSD (GU) likely spikes
Expect GU to aim for 1.3350–1.3375 again if structure holds
2. ISM > 48 - As expected
-Might cause a tiny wiggle. Not enough to flip sentiment.
- GU might consolidate or fake out both directions before deciding.
3. ISM > 48 - Surprise Strength
- USD gets a short-term pump
- GU likely dumps or pulls back to 1.3280 or lower
- Bearish short-term pressure builds on GBPUSD
A Smart Setup would be to, wait 5–15 mins post-release to avoid algo traps.
> If first spike is down but gets absorbed fast and flips up = buy setup confirmed
> If first spike is up but gets slapped down with a long wick = bear trap, short squeeze might follow
Key Levels :
Support: 1.3280 : 1.3250
Resistance: 1.3340 : 1.3375 > Massive breakout zone
