Pound
GBP rebounded strongly, beware of traps!GBP/USD
GBP/USD continued its technical correction rebound in the short period and climbed above 1.190.However, from the daily line, although GBP/USD has rebounded significantly, it is not enough to change the daily short trend, indicating that the overall trend of GBP/USD at a large level is still weak.In the 4-hour chart, the short-term sustained rebound caused the market to get rid of the weak downward channel and return to the previous level of the channel. Although it still belongs to the downward channel as a whole, the short-term weak market has been technically improved.
At present, there has been a decline in the rebound market, which proves that the upward momentum is gradually being consumed, but as long as it can be maintained at the position above 0.190, it is possible to challenge the position above 0.196. If 0.190 cannot be supported, the pair may fall again and touch the boundary position of the descending channel line.

GBPUSD Outlook 6th March 2023The GBPUSD completes the downward move following the formation of the Head and Shoulder pattern.
As the price test and failed to break below the 1.1920 price area, the GBPUSD has rebound strongly to the upside, above the 1.20 level, and could approach the resistance level of 1.2070.
Currently consolidating along the 1.2040 price level, look for further DXY weakness to take the GBPUSD higher. However, a more prudent trade would be to wait for the price to break above the immediate resistance level first.
Beyond 1.2070, the next key resistance level is at 1.2150.

Friday Break or Bounce?From the last update on Wednesday we can see the 3rd lower high in the series is now in and price is now back at support. It"s make or break time for the British Pound as the week draws to a close and the dollar continues to hold up and attempt to push higher. Are we going to see lower prices for the Pound by the end of the week or will buyers regain control for another attempt to the upside?
EURGBP ShortThere’s been some decent swings in price lately. I believe the reason we witnessed such a dramatic rise and fall in price over the past two weeks was not so much due to euro strengthening over the pound, but because the pound weakened against the dollar more so than the euro. By this I mean that the pace of capital flight from pounds to dollars was more substantial than from euros to dollars. Due to uncertainties around US inflation data and interest rates It was only a matter of time before the latter caught up to the former which happened yesterday.
Obviously a lower inflation figure for the pound adds extra selling pressure for the UK but I believe that the EU and UK are largely in a similar situation. Granted the ECB is firm on its next rate rise but I’m comfortable with the risks from here on. Let’s not forget that the UK is still in double digit inflation so a minor tick down is not overly surprising to me.
Major central banks will have you believe that inflation is done, job finished. But I don’t buy it, not even close! But I guess we’ll see just how sticky our inflation problems are over the coming months.
As you can see from the chart, the price is currently moving within a large ascending triangle (WHITE) with moderate divergence between the price relative to the indicators which suggests weakness when compared to the volume, which is actually quite low I may add.
The price had a rejection of the ascending triangle support due to a cooler than expected inflation print. For this reason I believe that if the price can clear the 0.89 area, it will likely rise to the upper limits of the triangle (white) and rising channel (blue), with my POI being around the 0.8970-0.9050 are shown by the white circle. At which point I will be looking to sell this pair in anticipation of a move to the downside and continuing lower to 0.87’s.
If the the price struggles to clear the 0.89 area then I will wait for a lower price sell confirmation. If the fundamentals have a shock surprise in store then I will reassess the situation and position myself accordingly.
That being said, I believe this pair is still open to significant moves following US fundamentals as the US economy seems to still be running hot as can be seen from last months jobs report and today’s retail sales. Both coming in significantly higher than expected which will force Powells hand to turn up the dial on interest rates in a bid to calm inflation. As such, US data must be factored-in when deciding to trade this pair as recently, it is each currencies respective weakness to the dollar and not each other that seems to be the underlying theme.
POI - sell around 0.900 area
TP1 - 0.8770
TP2 - 0.8750
TP3 - 0.8720
If the price struggles to clear 0.89 (stranger things have happened) then i will likely wait for a clean break of the ascending triangle (white) before deciding to sell the pair.
I asses my SL based on risk factors. It is not a mechanical percentage calculation. As always this is just a basic overview of my opinion and is not a detailed analysis so please do your own analysis and always trade with caution.
GBPJPY: Classic Trend Following 🇬🇧🇯🇵
GBPJPY remains very bullish from the beginning of the year.
After the last impulsive movement, the market retraced to a peculiar confluence zone.
I see a perfect match between 0.5 retracement of the last bullish leg and a horizontal structure support.
I will expect a pullback from that to 165.0 / 165.7

EURGBP potential reversal zoneHi;
EURGBP has been examined in different dimensions:
1- Strong supply and demand levels that I identify with my own indicator and system.
2- The structure of recently formed waves
3- Current market momentum
4- The structure of classical and price patterns
In this idea, I identified the direction of the market in different ways and in the second step, I analyzed the potential of continuation or reversal. Usually, paying attention to the trend and strength of the trend can greatly increase the accuracy of the analysis.
In general, I tried to describe the continuation of the movement in the simplest possible way in the diagram.

GBPUSD: Big Fundamentals - New Brexit Deal this weekend?We could be a kicking off the week with a lot of GBP movement if there is a new trade deal reached between the UK and Europe over the Northern Ireland Protocol. Today, Dominic Raab (the UK Deputy PM) told the BBC that the 'UK is on the cusp' of securing a new Brexit deal on Northern Ireland.
I'm also seeing GU decline slowing and possibly at the end of it's retracement, DXY also seems to be slowing (it doesn't seem to matter how well their economy is doing, the bears seem to be in control for now), so I'm looking for longs on this pair at the start of next week. We should test recent highs around 1.24 and a break through would open the door to test the 1.26's.
If a new Brexit deal is reached this weekend I expect a quick uplift, but I think 'being close to a deal' is enough to see this pair grow over the coming days.
This trade gives a 1:3 RR minimum if it works out, I'll be keeping a close eye on the news and the Asian open later!
