"A big move is coming! GBP/USD just broke structure—Price action on the GBP/USD (3H timeframe) has shown a Change of Character (ChoCH), indicating a potential bullish reversal. After forming a strong base, buyers have stepped in, pushing the price above the recent structure. Key Highlights: ChoCH Breakout: A shift in market structure suggests bullish momentum. Targeting Supply Zone: The next key level of interest is around 1.2750 - 1.2800, where sellers may step in. Wave 3 to Wave 4 Transition: Aligning with Elliott Wave Theory, this move could be part of a corrective structure before further upside/downside.

GBP/USD Analysis: Pair Fails to Hold Above Psychological LevelGBP/USD Analysis: Pair Fails to Hold Above Psychological Level As shown in today’s GBP/USD chart, the pair failed to maintain its position above the psychological level of 1.3000 USD per pound, where it had reached its highest point since early 2025. The decline followed recent central bank decisions and statements, with both the Bank of England and the Federal Reserve keeping interest rates unchanged. On one side, the Bank of England: → Warned of inflation risks, partly driven by external factors such as US trade tariffs. → Indicated a potential rate cut in the coming months. On the other hand, the US dollar strengthened on Thursday after the Federal Reserve signalled reluctance to rush further rate cuts this year, despite uncertainties surrounding US tariffs. These statements highlighted the challenges market participants face in assessing the risks posed by tariffs on global trade. Technical Analysis of GBP/USD In March, the pound followed an upward trend against the US dollar, forming an ascending channel (marked in blue). However, once the price moved above the key 1.3000 level, the upper boundary of the channel appeared out of reach—possibly signalling weakening buying momentum. As a result, the price broke below the lower boundary of the channel, which has now shown signs of resistance (indicated by an arrow). If bearish pressure persists, the price could fall towards the dotted trendline below the channel, at a distance equal to its height. Additionally, a test of the previous local low around 1.2911 cannot be ruled out. This article represents the opinion of the Companies operating under the FXOpen brand only.

GBP Retreats as BoE Maintains PolicyThe pound dipped below $1.30, retreating from a four-month high after the BoE held rates at 4.5% and signaled a cautious approach to easing policy, despite recent inflation progress. Global trade tensions added pressure, with new U.S. tariffs prompting retaliatory moves and raising inflation risks. UK data showed weak growth, steady 4.4% unemployment, and wage growth easing to 5.8%, in line with forecasts. In the U.S., the Fed kept rates steady but reaffirmed plans for two cuts this year. If GBP/USD breaks above 1.3050, the next resistance levels are 1.3100 and 1.3150. On the downside, support stands at 1.2860, with further levels at 1.2800 and 1.2715 if selling pressure increases.

GBP/USD DAY1 analysis • The chart shows the GBP/USD price action from early 2024 to March 2025. • The price experienced a significant uptrend from around May 2024 (near 1.26000) to a peak in September 2024 (around 1.32000). • After hitting this peak, the price entered a consolidation phase, followed by a downtrend starting in late 2024, bringing it to the current level of 1.29634. • The recent price action shows a decline, as indicated by the 0.30% drop. 2. Key Levels (Support and Resistance) • Resistance Zone: The chart highlights a resistance zone between approximately 1.29634 and 1.30655 (shaded in green). This zone acted as a ceiling for the price in late 2024 and early 2025, where the price struggled to break through and reversed downward. • Support Zone: A support zone is marked around 1.22829 (shaded in red). This level appears to be a historical low from early 2024, suggesting it could act as a strong support if the price continues to decline. • The price is currently near the lower boundary of the resistance zone (1.29634), which may now act as support after being tested as resistance previously. 3. Projected Price Range (Right Side) • The chart includes a projected price range for the future, shown on the right side in USD values: • Upper Bound: 1.30655 (top of the resistance zone) • Lower Bound: 1.22829 (support level) • Current Price in Range: 1.29634, which is closer to the lower end of the resistance zone. • This range suggests that the price could either bounce back toward the upper resistance at 1.30655 or continue its decline toward the support at 1.22829. 4. Volume and Volatility • The chart does not explicitly show volume, but the candlestick patterns indicate periods of higher volatility (larger candles) during the uptrend and downtrend phases, with smaller candles during consolidation. • The recent price action shows smaller candles, suggesting a potential decrease in momentum or indecision in the market. 5. Potential Scenarios • Bullish Scenario: If the price holds above the current level of 1.29634 (which aligns with the lower boundary of the resistance zone), it could act as support, and the price might attempt to retest the upper resistance at 1.30655. A breakout above this level could signal a continuation of the longer-term uptrend. • Bearish Scenario: If the price fails to hold 1.29634 and breaks below this level, it could signal further downside. The next significant support is at 1.22829, a substantial drop from the current price. Intermediate support levels (e.g., around 1.26000, based on previous price action) might provide temporary pauses in the decline. • Consolidation: The price might also consolidate between 1.29634 and 1.30655 for a while if market participants remain indecisive, especially given the recent lack of strong momentum.

UPDATED ANALYSIS ON GBP/USDGBP/USD 1H - With this pair we have very similar thoughts to what we have on the EU pair. Rightly so with the USD being quote on both pairs, we want to see a breakdown in price. Now that price has broken structure to the downside breaking the last structural fractal low, it gives us some confluence that price is ready for a down move and the balance is in favour of Supply. In order for us to have confirmation however to short this market we must see price trade into the Supply Zone given, rejecting well and breaking structure for the second time but on the lower timeframes. This will confirm the end of the correction and the start of the next impulse lower. This giving us enough confluence to short this market longer term, setting our TP just above the last higher timeframe low.
