GBPUSD INTRADAY breakout higher supported at 1.3050Trend Overview The GBP/USD currency pair maintains a bullish trend, with recent price action confirming a breakout above the previous consolidation zone. Key Levels & Scenarios Support: 1.3050 (previous consolidation range) A bullish bounce from this level could sustain the rally. Upside targets: 1.3240, followed by 1.3270 and 1.3300 over the longer term. Bearish Breakdown Scenario: A daily close below 1.3050 would invalidate the bullish outlook. Downside targets: 1.3010, followed by 1.2960 and 1.2910. Indicators & Market Sentiment Momentum indicators support the bullish bias, but price action needs to hold above 1.3050. Volume confirms buying interest, reinforcing the breakout potential. Conclusion As long as 1.3050 holds as support, GBP/USD remains in a bullish structure, targeting 1.3240 and beyond. A break below 1.3050 would shift the focus toward 1.3010 and lower retracement levels.

GBPUSDThe GBPUSD currency pair price action sentiment appears bullish, supported by the prevailing uptrend. The recent intraday price action appears to be a sideways consolidation towards the previous resistance. The key trading level is at 1.2940 level, the previous consolidation price range. A corrective pullback from the current levels and a bullish bounce back from the 1.2940 level could target the upside resistance at 1.2994 followed by the 1.3070 and 1.3123 levels over the longer timeframe. Alternatively, a confirmed loss of the 1.2940 support and a daily close below that level would negate the bullish outlook opening the way for a further retracement and a retest of 1.2866 support level followed by 1.2813 and 1.2740.

GBPUSD InsightHello, subscribers! Great to see you all. Please share your personal opinions in the comments. Don't forget to like and subscribe! Key Points - The European Commission is reportedly considering short-term economic support measures to assist sectors impacted by President Trump’s tariffs, while China is restricting domestic companies’ investments in the U.S. - In a speech at the White House Rose Garden, President Trump announced a reciprocal tariff policy, imposing a universal 10% tariff on all imports, with higher individual tariffs on the "worst" countries from the U.S. perspective. He left room for negotiations, suggesting possible future adjustments. - Europe strongly criticized the reciprocal tariffs, calling it an “Inflation Day,” while Canada announced retaliatory measures, and China is also escalating its response. This Week’s Key Economic Events + April 4: U.S. March Nonfarm Payrolls, U.S. March Unemployment Rate, Fed Chair Powell’s speech GBPUSD Chart Analysis With Trump's reciprocal tariff announcement increasing market volatility, GBPUSD swiftly broke through the previously resistant 1.30000 level. In the short term, an upward move toward 1.31500 is expected. If it breaks above 1.31500, further gains toward 1.34000 are likely. However, if resistance is encountered in this range, a pullback toward 1.28500 could occur, making it crucial to monitor price action at resistance levels.

GBP/USD Stalls Beneath 1.30 – Breakout or Bull Trap?The British pound continues to grind higher against the U.S. dollar, now trading at 1.2982 (+0.46%), but price action remains capped within a tight consolidation box just below the psychological 1.30 handle. 🔹 Price is holding above the 200-day (1.2809) and 50-day (1.2704) SMAs, maintaining a bullish structure. 🔹 RSI is at 62.90, comfortably in bullish territory but not overbought. 🔹 MACD is flat but still positive, suggesting momentum is stalling but not yet reversing. The range between 1.2875 and 1.30 has held for over two weeks. A confirmed breakout above 1.30 could set the stage for a rally toward the 0.786 retracement at 1.3148, while a downside break might trigger a retracement toward the 200-day SMA or even 1.2700. This range won’t last forever — the bulls and bears are coiling for the next big move. -MW

Just broke through a high liquidity zone!!It just broke through a high liquidity zone!! The marked line is the arrival point. We still have plenty of profit-making possibilities left, so be patient. Wait for a good pullback with the corresponding manipulation to find a good re-entry!! If the market goes without us, it's better to take a loss where we don't know what we're doing. Note: (A fairly crowded zone is always a liquidity zone.) Keep it simple! If you liked it, don't forget to follow me!

gbpusdBelow is a step-by-step analysis of the GBP/USD chart you shared, applying the integrated strategy (Markttechnik structure, Heiken Ashi confirmation, liquidity sweeps, and inducement). --- 1. Higher-Time-Frame Context (If Available) Although the screenshot only shows a 15-minute (M15) view, the Markttechnik approach typically begins by checking a higher time frame (H1, H4, or Daily) to confirm the overall trend. Without that info, well focus on the visible structure in your screenshot and assume a relatively range-bound or chopn M15 From the screenshot, there are several labeled swing points (Point 1, Point 2, Point 3), indicating how price is moving between support and resistance levels: 1. Upward Swings to ~1.299 Price seems to push into the 1.299 - 1.3000 zone multiple times, forming potential liquidity above these highs. 2. Downward Swings to ~1.289 - 1.290 Each time price drops, it finds some support around 1.290, suggesting liquidity pockets or demand near that level. Overall, the chart looks like its oscillating between these swing highs and lows, creating a short-term range. --- 3. Heiken Ashi Candle Clues Heiken Ashi candles can smooth out noise: Bullish Phase: Consecutive green candles heading toward 1.299. Bearish Phase: Consecutive red candles after failing to break above 1.299 convincingly. From the screenshot, the most recent move seems bearish (red Heiken Ashi candles) after the pair failed to hold above 1.2951.296. --- 4. Liquidity and Inducement Analysis 1. Liquidity Above 1.299 Those highs near 1.2991.3000 represent a potential liquidity pool. Each time price approaches this area, sellers stop-losses (and buyer breakout orders) may cluster above. 2. Liquidity Below 1.290 Price has revisited ~1.2891.290. Any move below this area could trigger stops from buyers, offering a sweep scenario if price dips and reverses. 3. Inducement / False Breakouts Notice the wicks or brief pushes above ~1.299 that fail to continue higher. This can be an inducement to trap buyers expecting a breakout. After failing to push higher, price reverses and drops quickly. --- 5. Potential Trade Ideas Scenario A: Short After Liquidity Sweep Above 1.299 1. Setup Price attempts to break 1.299, forms a final push (liquidity grab), then produces a red Heiken Ashi candle that closes back below 1.299. 2. Entry Once a strong bearish Heiken Ashi candle closes below the high, indicating a false breakout, enter a short position. 3. Stop Loss Above the recent liquidity sweep (slightly above 1.3000). 4. Take Profit At or near the 1.290 support area (or even lower if you see momentum). Scenario B: Long After Liquidity Sweep Below 1.290 1. Setup If price breaks below ~1.290, you watch for a false breakdown. A quick rejection with a strong bullish Heiken Ashi close back above 1.290 can signal the sweep is complete. 2. Entry Go long when a bullish Heiken Ashi candle confirms a rebound above the liquidity zone. 3. Stop Loss Below the recent low (slightly under 1.289 or the lowest wick). 4. Take Profit Near the 1.299 resistance or previous swing highs for a 2:1 (or better) reward-to-risk ratio. --- 6. Markttechnik Point 1, 2, 3 Perspective Based on your labeling: Point 1 / Point 2 / Point 3 could mark successive swings (higher highs or lower highs/lows). Each Point 3 might be where the market turns after failing to break a prior level, or it could be your next decision zone. In a ranging environment, these points help you see the oscillation between support (demand) and resistance (supply). A trade signal would trigger when the market sweeps one of these points and then clearly reverses. --- 7. Putting It All Together 1. Identify Key Zones 1.290 (support & liquidity) 1.2991.300 (resistance & liquidity) 2. Look for Sweeps Watch for price to poke above/below these zones and then close back inside. 3. Heiken Ashi Confirmation Enter on a Heiken Ashi candle that confirms the reversal. Consecutive red for short, consecutive green for long. 4. Risk Management Stops outside the liquidity sweep, targets at least 2:1. 5. Execution Given the current screenshot, the market recently turned down from near 1.2951.296. You could wait to see if it sweeps below 1.290 for a potential buy, or if it returns to ~1.299 for a potential sell. --- Conclusion Short-Term Bias: Slightly bearish after failing to break above 1.2961.299. Potential Long Setup: If price dips below 1.290 and quickly reverses (false breakdown). Potential Short Setup: If price rallies again to 1.2991.300 and fails (false breakout). By monitoring liquidity sweeps around these key zones and confirming direction with Heiken Ashi candles, you can apply your combined strategy for entries, stops, and profit targets.

Fundamental Market Analysis for April 1, 2025 GBPUSDOn Monday, the GBP/USD pair was traversing the charts in familiar territory, passing a familiar accumulation zone as investors awaited the latest iteration of US President Donald Trump's tariff threats. The Trump administration intends to enact a broad catalog of tariffs against virtually all US trading partners starting April 2. Specific details of the Trump administration's tariff plans this week remain vague and elusive, but the main tariff threats remain “retaliatory” tariffs on all countries that have their own tariffs on imports of U.S. goods, regardless of the economic context. Retaliatory tariffs on Canada and the European Union are also expected, as well as additional flat tariffs on copper and automobiles. The UK economic data release schedule remains loose this week, however, fresh US Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP) employment data is due out later this week. The release of NFP could be an important factor for the markets as the US economy transitions into a post-tariff economic environment, and the March labor data will serve as an “indicator” of the impact of the Trump team's tariff plans. Trading recommendation: SELL 1.29250, SL 1.30000, TP 1.28650

Target Zones 🎯 Target 1: 1.29300 – Minor resistance, suitable for first take-profit (TP1). Target 2: 1.29500 – Stronger resistance level. Target 3: 1.29700 – Major resistance area, final take-profit (TP3). 3. Market Structure & Price Action 📈 The price reacted to the entry zone, a support level. A retest of previous demand zones before potential bullish continuation. Risk-to-Reward Ratio (RRR): Favorable, as upside potential is greater than downside risk. Bullish Confirmation: If price holds above the 1.29050 zone, an upward move is likely. Recent Fundamental Factors Affecting GBP/USD 1. UK Economic Data 🇬🇧 UK GDP Growth: Slower growth than expected, but still in positive territory. Bank of England (BoE) Policy: No immediate rate cuts, keeping GBP stable. UK Inflation: Still above target, supporting a stronger GBP. 2. US Economic Data 🇺🇸 Federal Reserve (Fed) Policy: Mixed signals from the Fed—some officials hint at rate cuts later this year. If the Fed pauses or cuts rates, GBP/USD could rise. US Non-Farm Payrolls (NFP) Data: Expected to show job market resilience. A strong NFP could push USD higher, pressuring GBP/USD. US GDP Data: Slower-than-expected growth could weaken USD, helping GBP. 3. Market Sentiment 🌍 Risk-On vs. Risk-Off: If investors shift to risk-on sentiment (buying stocks, GBP), GBP/USD could move higher.

New Update Of GBPUSD 1 H Time frameHere’s an advanced technical insight: --- 1. Structure Analysis The chart demonstrates a bullish structure in the GBP/USD 1-hour timeframe, characterized by: Higher Highs and Higher Lows: The price is respecting an ascending channel, indicating sustained bullish momentum. The Support 1 level (~1.2600) has transitioned from resistance to support, confirming a breakout and potential continuation of the uptrend. --- 2. Supertrend Confirmation (10, 3) The Supertrend indicator aligns with the bullish bias as the price is above the green Supertrend line. Supertrend crossover (red to green) indicates a potential reversal in momentum, which occurred earlier in the demand zone. --- 3. Demand and Support Levels Support 1 (~1.2600): A critical intraday level, likely to act as a short-term pivot point for bulls. If retested, it could provide an opportunity for re-entry. Demand Zone (1.2400–1.2500): A broader accumulation zone based on historical price reactions and the swing low, providing stronger support in case of a deeper correction. --- 4. Price Action within the Ascending Channel The pair is trading in a tight ascending channel, with clear upper and lower boundaries. The midline of the channel can act as dynamic support/resistance. The dashed arrow projection suggests that bulls may target the channel’s upper resistance (~1.2700). --- 5. Probable Scenarios Bullish Scenario: If the price sustains above Support 1 and remains inside the ascending channel, expect continuation toward: Short-Term Target: 1.2650 (minor resistance). Mid-Term Target: 1.2700 (channel resistance). Bearish Scenario: A break below the ascending channel’s lower boundary (~1.2600) could invalidate the bullish bias. Potential downside levels: 1.2550 (local horizontal support). 1.2500–1.2400 (Demand Zone). --- 6. Trade Ideas Long Setup Entry: Wait for a pullback to Support 1 (~1.2600) or channel lower boundary. Target: 1.2650, 1.2700. Stop Loss: Below 1.2580 (to avoid being caught in a false breakout). Short Setup (Countertrend): Entry: If price breaks below the channel (~1.2600). Target: 1.2550, then 1.2500. Stop Loss: Above 1.2635 (to account for a false breakout). --- 7. Risk Management Use proper risk-to-reward ratios (minimum 1:2). Position sizing is critical; align trades with your account's risk tolerance.
