GBP/USD: Bearish to Bullish Reversal SetupHere’s a detailed explanation of my GBP/USD analysis on the 1-hour chart: --- The chart highlights key structural points and psychological levels, forming the basis of my trade setup. Market Structure and Key Levels: I identified multiple Break of Structure (BoS) points, signaling the continuation of the prevailing bearish trend. However, the marked Change of Character (CHoCH) indicates a potential reversal as price shows signs of transitioning from bearish to bullish momentum. This CHoCH aligns with a demand zone where price reacted strongly, confirming buyers stepping in. Weekly Psychological Level: The 1.2600 level is a crucial psychological barrier. Price initially broke below it but retraced to test it as resistance. This level also aligns with my first take-profit zone, making it an ideal spot to secure partial profits if price moves in my favor. Entry and Execution Plan: I refined my entry to a 15-minute order block, represented by the $$$ mark. This zone is where price consolidated before a bullish move, signaling institutional participation. My entry at this level offers a low-risk, high-reward opportunity. Take-Profit Targets: I set three take-profit levels to align with key liquidity zones: Take Profit 1: Around 1.26130, just above the psychological level. This is a conservative target to lock in early gains. Take Profit 2: Positioned near a higher imbalance region, targeting further bullish momentum. Take Profit 3: The ultimate target, placed at a liquidity zone higher up on the chart. If price maintains its bullish trajectory, this would yield significant profits. Risk Management: Stop-loss is set below the demand zone to protect against invalidation of the setup. This ensures my risk remains limited while giving the trade enough room to play out. Trade Bias: The bias shifted from bearish to bullish after the CHoCH and the strong reaction from the demand zone. The setup anticipates a retracement or reversal to test higher levels, with the psychological level acting as the first major hurdle. --- This setup is based on market structure, key levels, and price action, offering a clear roadmap for execution. If price respects my zones, it’s a high-probability trade with solid risk-to-reward potential.

GBPUSD - continue its downward trendDear Investors, The GBP/USD pair has rebounded after losing over 1% following the Federal Reserve's aggressive rate cut on Wednesday, currently trading around 1.2590 during Thursday's Asian session. From a technical perspective, this recovery is likely to be short-lived, stemming from the strong support zone at 1.2567, rather than signaling a sustained rebound. Sellers could easily regain control, especially after breaking below the key level of 1.2645. Moreover, the 34-period EMA shows no signs of a significant reversal, suggesting the price might accelerate towards the next support level at 1.2486. Attention remains on the immediate resistance at 1.2615, as any failure to hold this level could lead to an earlier-than-expected decline. Stay alert and plan accordingly!

GBPUSD – Can The Rollercoaster Price Action Continue? GBPUSD – Can The Rollercoaster Price Action Continue? What a difference a day can make to market expectations and positioning. GBPUSD was riding high around 1.2720 late Wednesday afternoon on the back of stronger UK wage growth and inflation (CPI) readings from earlier in the week, creating some uncertainty about what its next directional move maybe. Then, enter the Federal Reserve (Fed), who cut interest rates 25bps (0.25%) last night, as expected, but provided a more cautious assessment for their approach in 2025. Chairman Powell emphasised that the US central bank doesn’t need to be as quick to act with rate cuts moving forward until they see more progress on inflation falling to their 2% target. This saw a rush to buy dollars again, which in turn sent GBPUSD sharply lower below 1.26. So, what’s next for the pound, as traders need to contend with the Bank of England (BoE) rate decision at 1200 GMT today. No change to interest rates is expected due to the stubborn inflation readings received this week, but the direction of the voting on the committee and accompanying statement may give an insight into their thinking regarding rate cuts in 2025. All of which could add to the rollercoaster price action of GBPUSD into the weekend. So, with the potential for GBPUSD volatility moving forward, what are the possible chart levels to consider? Possible Support Levels to Watch Coming into this BoE meeting, GBPUSD has already seen price weakness emerge following the more hawkish Fed. This has seen breaks below support at 1.2611, which is equal to the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement of November/December strength. While this move lower doesn’t guarantee further price weakness, the next support to consider may be marked by the November 22nd low at 1.2490, and if this support was to be broken following the Bank of England rate decision, it may be possible that GBPUSD could test support at the May low of 1.2449. How About Resistance? To the upside we can potentially use the Fibonacci retracement of the December price weakness to gauge possible resistance levels,. The 38.2% retracement stands at 1.2657 and traders may well be watching how well this resistance level, if tested, is defended by fresh selling interest. If this upside level was to break, it may increase the possibility of a more prolonged recovery, at which point, risks may turn towards tests of the higher 62% Fibonacci retracement level, which stands at 1.2715.

GBP/USD: Waiting for Reversal SignsGBP/USD: Waiting for Reversal Signs From our previous analysis, the price has created a correction near the first support zone I was observing since the previous week. However, it's too early to jump into the trade given two significant events this week: the FOMC and BOE interest rate decisions. 🗓️ Wednesday, December 18 USD Fed Interest Rate Decision 🗓️ Thursday, December 19 GBP BoE Interest Rate Decision The FOMC is expected to cut rates by 25 bps, but the focus will be on Chair Powell's speech. If his tone is hawkish, the price may move down to the second zone before it moves up. Meanwhile, the BOE is expected to keep rates on hold at 4.75%, which could support GBP strength in the short term. Overall, GBP/USD should begin rising. However, we should look for reversal signs first, as speculation remains high. You may find more details in the chart! Thank you and Good Luck! ❤️PS: Please support with a like or comment if you find this analysis useful for your trading day❤️

GBPUSD - Nothing Can Stop It, It's All The Way Up!Here we have the monthly chart for GBPUSD. GBPUSD 'recently' completed a major ending diagonal. We know this as it was a 5 wave pattern in the form of a wedge. Now that the bottom is in, we're expecting multiyear bullish price action. Wave 1 can be an impulse or a leading diagonal. For GBPUSD, we are seeing a clear leading diagonal pattern = 5 waves. We are anticipating one final move up to complete wave 1 and then we'll be seeing a wave 2 correction (as shown in the chart) Trade Idea: Trading the 5th wave of the Leading Diagonal - Watch for bullish price action to appear - Confirmations such as trendline break or BOS can be used to gain an entry - Once entered, put stops below wave 4 - Target: 1.36 (1,100pips) Once wave 1 leading diagonal is complete, we'll be back with an update! If this post gets enough engagement, we'll post lower timeframe charts. Goodluck and as always, trade safe!

GBP/USD - LONG POSITION I believe that GBP/USD is presenting a strong buying opportunity based on my analysis. The currency pair is currently rejecting the 78.6% Fibonacci retracement level, which is a significant technical indicator suggesting a potential reversal or retracement. This level often acts as a key decision zone where buyers regain control after a pullback. To validate this setup, I am closely monitoring the price action for strong wick rejections and bullish candlestick patterns, as these are reliable signals of a reversal. If these confirmations occur, I plan to enter a buy position with a well-defined stop-loss placed just below the 78.6% level to minimize risk. This trade setup offers an excellent risk-to-reward ratio of 1:4, meaning for every 1% of risk, there is the potential to gain 4%. Such a favourable ratio ensures that even if some trades fail, the profitable ones outweigh the losses. Additionally, I am considering other confluences to strengthen my confidence in this trade. These include: 1. Momentum Indicators: Observing divergence on the RSI or MACD for signs of bullish momentum. 2. Trend Continuation: Ensuring the broader trend aligns with this reversal; for example, a higher timeframe uptrend would support this buy idea. 3. Volume Analysis: Looking for increased buying volume around this level, which often signals institutional activity. It’s also crucial to stay updated on any upcoming economic data releases or news events that could impact GBP or USD, such as interest rate decisions, inflation reports, or geopolitical developments. These events could either reinforce or disrupt the technical outlook. Overall, I believe this trade has a solid probability of success if the technical and fundamental conditions align. By sticking to the plan and maintaining discipline with risk management, this setup has the potential to be highly rewarding.

GBPUSD short ideaIn Q1 2025, shorting GBPUSD could be an attractive strategy due to the relative strength of the USD compared to the GBP. The U.S. economy is expected to outperform the UK, driven by robust consumer spending, low unemployment, and higher interest rates maintained by the Federal Reserve at 5.25%, compared to the Bank of England’s 4.5%. Additionally, lingering UK economic challenges, such as slower GDP growth recovery, cost-of-living pressures, and potential dovish signals from the BoE, could weigh on the GBP. Meanwhile, the USD benefits from its safe-haven appeal amid global uncertainties, further bolstered by strong capital inflows and sustained inflationary pressures that support the Fed’s hawkish stance.This might lead to bearish pressure on GBPUSD and a short would be best to capitalize on these macroeconomic divergences and the expected relative weakness of the GBP against the USD.
