๐Ÿ“Œ GBP/USD Trade Update & Institutional Reassessment
๐Ÿ”Ž Current Price: 1.2710
๐Ÿ“ Stop Loss (SL): 1.2725 (Still not hit, but very close!)
*๐Ÿ“ˆ Price Action: Aggressive bullish push toward SL โ€“ key liquidity zone in play.

๐Ÿ“Š Key Observations:
1๏ธโƒฃ Liquidity Grab Above 1.2700

Price has aggressively swept liquidity above 1.2700, targeting stop clusters.
This may be a final inducement before Smart Money moves price lower.
2๏ธโƒฃ Price Nearing Invalidation Level (1.2725 SL)

If price closes above 1.2725 with strong bullish momentum โ†’ Sell setup invalid.
If price wicks above 1.2725 and rejects back down โ†’ Sell trade remains valid.
3๏ธโƒฃ H1/H4 Need to Show Rejection!

We must monitor for bearish rejection from this premium OB/FVG zone.
No rejection? Exit & wait for a fresh trade setup.
๐Ÿ”ฅ Key Next Steps:
๐Ÿ”ธ If price holds below 1.2725 & rejects โ†’ Trade remains valid.
๐Ÿ”ธ If price closes above 1.2725 โ†’ Sell trade invalid, reassess Smart Money positioning.

Order cancelled
Got NO valid confirmation to go sell on this similar to eurusd, setup has invalidated, will repeat what i said in eu trade: that's the reason I recommend being conservative and waiting for confirmation before entry. being aggressive has its perks but some times it helps avoid losses. this was a high probability setup, i guess fundamentals and market makers have other plans, there are a few HIGH IMPACT NEWS also coming up this week.
