GBPUSD - NEXT STOP @1.34343? [UPDATE]TRADE UPDATE
As planned for the week price traded to my POI just as i'd anticipated (without getting to my DOL first) so i took my Long Position and it got to my TP for a quick 1:3RR.
KEY TAKEAWAY
I followed my plan and waited for price to come to my level without chasing it(even after the quick spike up to begin the week).
Patience Pays!
GBPUSD - NEXT STOP @1.34343?1. MARKET OVERVIEW
GU has been on a very strong uptrend since January so i'm expecting that momentum to continue this week aiming for the old high @1.34343 which is also the Previous Year's High (PYH) and a Key Level.
2. KEY LEVELS I'M WATCHING
* Draw On Liquidity(DOL): 1.34343
* Point Of Interest(POI): 1.32411 - 1.32500
3. TRADE BIAS & SCENARIOS
I'll stick on being bullish for the rest of the week until price gets to my target which is the PYH(Previous Year High). I'll execute on my buys only if price trades to my POI before trading to my target, on the condition that price trades higher early in the week and gets to my target(without first trading to my POI) i'll cancel my trade order and switch neutral on my BIAS.
4. FINAL NOTE
Patience is key, i'll wait for price to come to me and not chase price.

Massive Rally, Massive Resistance – Time to Sell GBPUSD?The last two weeks felt like a rollercoaster for GBPUSD. It all started with a gap down on Monday, April 7, but that weakness didn’t last. The pair filled the gap and then rallied hard – over 700 pips!
🤔 Key Question – Is the move sustainable, or are we topping out?
Now the pair is approaching a massive resistance zone, one that dates back to 2019. While the bullish sentiment and USD weakness could push it toward 1.3500, this isn’t a breakout I’d blindly chase.
📉 Why I'm expecting a reversal:
Price is entering a long-term resistance area – a major barrier.
700 pips of upside happened fast – a pullback is likely.
USD weakness might fade, creating downward pressure.
1.3450–1.3500 is my key sell zone.
📊 My Trading Plan:
I’ll be watching for clear signs of weakness near 1.3450 – such as rejection candles or slowing momentum. If the market confirms, I’m looking for a 500 pip move down, with 1.3000 as the first major target.

GBPUSD Analysis with ICT ConceptsMy current outlook on the British Pound is bearish, with an expectation of lower levels in the near term.
A key level I am anticipating price to reach is the Weekly Open, which has not yet been touched.
Yesterday's price action seems to be confirming this potential move towards the Weekly Open.
Therefore, I am actively looking for confirmed short position opportunities to align with this view.
Trade safe!
GBPUSD Analysis 4/22 4:51pmGBP/USD Analysis – Institutional Liquidity, Price Action & Trade Setup
Right now, I'm analyzing GBP/USD at 1.33287 in the context of institutional behavior, technical indicators, and upcoming economic events. My focus is on institutional liquidity absorption at resistance, monitoring key levels for an optimal entry.
Technical Overview
Resistance Zone: 1.33895–1.34234 has been a critical level where price struggled to break higher, suggesting institutional absorption.
Support Zone: 1.33200–1.33150 remains an area where buyers could step in, but if it fails, the next downside target is 1.32677–1.32864.
Momentum Indicators: RSI (66.15 on the hourly) signals strong momentum, but MACD shows slight bearish divergence, hinting at trend exhaustion.
ADX Strength: The 30-minute ADX at 73.43 confirms trend momentum, but the hourly ADX at 17.12 indicates slowing movement, signaling potential institutional positioning.
Price Action Insights
Lower Highs Forming: Each successive high has been failing, reinforcing the idea that sellers are stepping in at resistance.
Liquidity Absorption at 1.33895–1.34234: Institutional players might be taking the other side of buy orders, meaning a trap for retail longs before a drop.
Bearish Rejection at 1.33450–1.33600: If price pulls back to this zone and prints a long upper wick, it confirms sell-side control.
Volume Profile & Institutional Activity
Volume Clustering at Resistance: Previous highs show volume absorption rather than continuation, reinforcing a bearish bias.
Delta Imbalance Considerations: Watching sell-side aggression near key levels to confirm institutional pressure.
Accumulation/Distribution Patterns: Weekly AD is negative, indicating some distribution rather than accumulation.
This approach ensures I'm trading with institutional positioning rather than chasing price movements. I remain patient, watching key zones for liquidity absorption before executing.
THOUGHTS ON THE GBP/USD MARKETGBP/USD 1H - Yes we are wanting to see weakness in the USD this week, however price may trade us lower initially to clear the orders fully before the move higher.
We have seen that price has broken structure fractally on the 30M timeframes, again this could be short lived and this could be just to clear the inefficient structure before taking us higher again, missing the zone we have marked out below.
This is why it is important that with every trade we place we wait for relevant confirmation before entering to avoid getting caught out. I will be waiting for price to trade us up and breaking structure fractally before I look to take the market short.
Even then it will only be an intraday/day trade, one that I will look to close by the end of week. I will keep you all posted with anything I do on this pair. SIT ON YOUR HANDS AND WAIT!
GBPUSD Short 4/22/2025GBP/USD Short Setup – Multi-Timeframe Rejection at September High
We're entering a short on GBP/USD based on a clean confluence of structure, pattern, and timing.
Daily Chart:
Price is rejecting a key resistance level from the week of September 20–27 — the high from that week has now been tapped five times in the last week, with today marking yet another rejection.
Intraday Timing:
Yesterday (Monday): London session tapped the September high.
Today (Tuesday): Pre-London rally hit that same level and failed again.
This sets the tone for a double-tap liquidity run that’s now looking exhausted.
4H Chart:
Bearish rejection wick is forming (potential hammer) — still two hours left, but current structure suggests selling pressure off the highs.
1H Chart:
We’ve printed a clean double top, and the most recent candle is closing as a bearish engulfing, rejecting straight off the key zone.
Entry: 1.33932
Stop: 1.34303
Target 1 (conservative): 1:1.2 R:R — midline from Sunday’s Asia session.
Target 2 (extension): 1.32986 — a clear structural level and liquidity pocket from previous demand.
With momentum turning and buyers failing to break higher despite multiple attempts, this setup leans heavily bearish for the next few sessions
GBPUSD Analysis 4/22 11:22amJust FYI i entered my last trade too early. Ill make sure all the signals align next time. I took my losses and kept it moving.
GBP/USD Analysis – Institutional Liquidity & Price Action Setup
Over the past few weeks, GBP/USD has been in a steady uptrend, posting higher highs and higher lows. However, 1.34234 remains a critical resistance level, and price is showing signs of absorption, suggesting institutions may be stepping in.
Technical Overview
Recent Highs & Lows: Price peaked at 1.34234, with recent support around 1.33750.
Momentum Indicators: The daily RSI remains elevated near 67.8, signaling strong buying interest, but MACD and stochastic fast readings indicate fluctuations.
ADX Strength: The 30-minute ADX at 72.4 confirms trend strength, but a fading Aroon Oscillator hints that past bullish waves might be losing steam.
Price Action Insights
Higher Highs Forming: The past few days show price continuously pushing up, but rejection wicks near 1.33895–1.34234 suggest sell-side pressure building.
Potential Lower High Formation: If institutions are absorbing liquidity here, they could be preparing to push price down—meaning a short trade setup is forming.
Key Levels to Watch: A break below 1.33750 would confirm bearish momentum, while a clean move above 1.34234 with volume would signal continuation.
Volume Profile & Institutional Activity
Liquidity Absorption at Resistance: Institutions may be letting retail traders push price up while absorbing their buy orders. If volume clusters at the highs without a breakout, this suggests a reversal could be incoming.
Delta Imbalance Considerations: Watching order flow, if sell-side aggression picks up near resistance, it strengthens the bearish case.
Volume Spikes & Clustered Activity: If liquidity at 1.33895–1.34234 shows tapering buy-side volume without a breakout, institutions may be trapping longs before driving price down.
Trade Plan
Given all of this data, my best entry setup is a sell near 1.33895–1.34234, waiting for confirmation:
Hourly Rejection Candles: A long upper wick or bearish engulfing candle near resistance would confirm sellers stepping in.
Target: A downside move toward 1.33200, where prior liquidity sits, would be a strong take-profit zone.
On the flip side, if price breaks above 1.34234 with strong bullish volume, I’ll reassess and look for a buy on a retest, confirming institutional accumulation.
This analysis helps me stay disciplined, tracking institutional positioning and liquidity traps rather than chasing impulsive moves. For now, I’m watching hourly candles and volume behavior at resistance before executing my next trade.
