GBPUSD: Retracement, maybe reversal?Been watching this pair closely and made some good pips in the past week, however I got spooked last night and closed my sells (albeit 50 pips too early), but my calculation seemed to be broadly right.
To me it's looking like a fake out below my support line and back through this resistance which is being retested but I think we're going back up.
USD not flying as I think it should (and has previously) with conflict, I think we'll see some retracement in DXY which will benefit this pair, it's been too bullish for too long imho and I believe we'll see profit taking.
GBP nailed on I think to raise rates again this month following the hanging of inflation data yesterday.
This will benefit XXXUSD crosses in forex, commodities and indices.
I'm only expecting this to retrace to the descending trendline for now which will be my TP.
GBPUSD NEXT MOVESticky UK CPI earlier this week was not enough to maintain the pound’s turnaround as geopolitical tensions in the Middle East remains the dominant theme at present. Diplomatic efforts to address the conflict have since been diminished after a hospital explosion, stoking pressures within the region between Israel and Hamas. The safe haven US dollar will draw greater attention in this environment but the address by Fed Chair Jerome Powell later today (see economic calendar below) will be the focus for cable.

GBPUSD: Bearish continuation, setting up for a nice drop?Expecting another hike from the FED in November, supported by hawkish comments across the board to focus on reducing inflation to 2%, this is supported by positive data.
Real yields (bond yield - inflation) are positive for the dollar, they're negative for GBP and EUR.
We may still see another hike from BoE but the economy is in a mess. Need to watch for US Inflation data and UK GDP data this week.
Saw a nice bounce on this pair Friday but I think the fall will continue down to around 1.20, so waiting for a rejection from resistance on the LTF's and will then get in.

GBP/USD: Bearish Momentum Continues, Watch for Oversold BounceThe British pound fell to a new record low against the US dollar on Wednesday, October 18, 2023, after the Bank of England raised interest rates by 0.75 percentage points, but signaled that it may slow the pace of hikes in the coming months. This suggests that the BoE is more concerned about a recession than about inflation, which could lead to further weakness in the pound.
Other factors weighing on the pound include the ongoing political uncertainty in the UK and the prospect of a prolonged economic slowdown. The UK economy is already facing a number of headwinds, including high inflation, rising energy costs, and labor shortages. A recession in the UK would likely lead to a further weakening of the pound.

GBPAUD: Breakout of support and dynamic trendlineWe've had a breakout of both support and descending dynamic trendline with no retest, which I'm expecting.
I can't see us retesting the dynamic trendline so considering shorts on the LTF's when we return to the resistance (formerly support) line.
Expecting Aussie strength and Pound weakness, we may go higher with the interest rate decision from the BoE this week (so if I'm in a trade I'll often pull out before the news or at least get the SL tighter as oscillation often reduces in the few hours before the news), so will be on guard for this, however I don't think we'll break back into the rising trend.
Gbp/Nzd Buy SetupWe are seeing in Daily timeframe price action is still in overall uptrend
==> Price in H4 and H1 is retesting the support area and also price is forming a double bottom
==> Price action is now retraced after breaking the neckline of the double bottom which give it a nice risk to reward setup for a continuation based on the range of the double bottom length
Follow me for more breakdown like this
GBPAUD: Bearish Setup Explained 🇬🇧🇦🇺
GBPAUD looks quite overbought to me.
We see a clear sign of strength of the sellers with a breakout of
a neckline of a double top formation and a violation of a support line of a rising wedge.
I expect a retracement to 1.92445

GBP/USD Continues to Soar: Can the Bullish Run Persist?GBP/USD Continues to Soar: Can the Bullish Run Persist?
The GBP/USD pair is on an impressive streak, notching its sixth consecutive day of gains and reaching a nearly three-week high during the Asian trading session. With the spot prices hovering just below the key 1.2300 round-figure mark, it's evident that the US Dollar (USD) is feeling the heat, facing a persistent bearish trend.
The recent series of dovish comments from various Federal Reserve (Fed) officials has prompted investors to dial down their expectations of aggressive monetary tightening by the US central bank. This trend has exerted downward pressure on US Treasury bond yields, eroding the strength of the Greenback. In particular, Atlanta Fed President Raphael Bostic emphasized that further interest rate hikes are unnecessary and that there's no impending recession.
Moreover, the prevailing risk-on sentiment has added to the USD's woes while bolstering the GBP/USD pair. Despite escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, the decreasing likelihood of more rate hikes by the Fed has encouraged investors to seek higher returns in riskier assets. This has fostered a positive market tone, evidenced by gains in the equity markets, thereby diverting investments away from traditional safe-haven currencies, including the US Dollar.
Nonetheless, it's important to note that the markets are still pricing in the possibility of at least one more Fed rate hike before year-end. This factor tempers the enthusiasm for aggressive bearish USD positions. Furthermore, expectations that the Bank of England (BoE) will keep rates unchanged in November might act as a ceiling on the GBP/USD pair. The BoE unexpectedly paused its rate-hiking cycle in September and provided little indication of its future rate intentions.
As the GBP/USD pair extends its recent recovery from the 1.2035 region, which marked its lowest point since March, traders are advised to await strong follow-through buying before considering an extension of the bullish run. Market participants are eagerly awaiting the release of the US Producer Price Index (PPI) and the FOMC meeting minutes, which are expected to provide substantial market-moving insights during the North American session. Attention will then shift to Thursday's unveiling of the latest US consumer inflation data, which could offer further clarity on the currency pair's future trajectory.
Short-Term Setup - Our preference:
Short positions below 1.23400 with targets at 1.22250 & 1.21800 in extension.
