GBP/USD – Bearish Reversal from Rising Wedge Pattern
The GBP/USD pair has been trading within a rising wedge pattern, a classic bearish reversal formation. This structure is characterized by higher highs and higher lows with converging trendlines, signaling weakening bullish momentum.
As of the latest candlestick, price action is testing the upper resistance of the wedge near 1.3543, showing signs of exhaustion. A potential breakdown from the wedge could trigger a sharp decline.
📌 Key Levels:
Resistance (Wedge Top): ~1.3543
Support (Wedge Base): ~1.2708
Breakdown Target: 1.2644 (measured from the height of the wedge)
📉 Bearish Outlook:
A confirmed close below the lower trendline would validate the pattern and could lead to a move down to the target at 1.2644.
Bearish confirmation may strengthen if accompanied by increased volume or bearish candlestick patterns (e.g., engulfing, shooting star).
⚠️ Risk Management:
Watch for false breakouts or fundamental news events (especially related to USD or GBP) that could invalidate the pattern.
Consider setting stop-loss above the wedge resistance or recent swing high.
Technical Bias: Bearish (upon confirmation of breakdown)
