GBP/USD forecast: Still shortHere is what to expect on the GBP/USD Pair RECAP: In our previous analysis GBP/USD was trading at 1.39069 We expected a movement to the downside as the pair had reached new year highs of 1.39 and was getting close to the edge of its ascending channel. We expected a very bullish DXY this week The pair continued a move to the upside reaching highs of 1.39510, triggering our buy stop which was immediately rejected by our system as it registered as a false breakout. We also expected this to happen and cautioned that monitoring this entry would be advisable in our previous analysis. We then opened new Sell orders at this level after our bearish shark formation from our previous analysis had extended to this level. The pair then fell as expected triggering our sell stop at 1.38800 which we also banked at 1.38700. In total we managed to bank 1600 pips, WHAT TO EXPECT: Currently trading at 1.38943 We expect GBP/USD to continue its downward trend and try to break support at 1.38800-1.38600 zone. if it manages to break below this level we expect the pair to test the previous low of 1.37500 before a reversal back to the 1.38 zone On the other hand if GBP/USD struggles to break resistance at 1.38800-1.38600 and reverses back to 1.39 we expect the pair to test previous highs of 1.39510 OUR POSITIONS: Currently @: 1.38943 Sell Stop @: 1.38800 Sell Stop TP 1 @; 1.38600 Sell Stop TP 2 @: 1.38000 Buy Stop @; 1.39400 Buy Stop TP @: 1.39600 Link to Previous analysis below Note: All investments involve risk, our analysis and trading strategy does not guarantee future results or returns.

GBP/USD: Forecast: ShortHere is an what to expect on the GBP/USD pair RECAP: Last week Friday in our analysis GBP/USD was trading at 1.37800 We expect the pair to continue its downtrend to at least 1.37500 before a reversal after a bullish butterfly had formed on the M30 chart. Bears struggled to push GBP/USD lower than 1.37800 and the bulls managed to push the pair upwards back to the 1.38 zone. We expected the pair to break above its previous resistance met at 1.38600 and predicted the pair to reach new year highs of 1.39 that's exactly what the pair has done. We had Buy Stops at 1.38400 and TP set at 1.38800 which we adjusted today as we expected the pair to reach our predicted 1.39, banking 1200 pips over 20 positions our biggest profit on GBP/USD we have posted so far. WHAT TO EXPECT: Currently GBP/USD is trading at 1.39100 We expect the pair to retrace back towards 1.38600 which was the previous resistance and is also 0.618 on our Fib retracement. After this we expect the pair to further decline back to last week Friday's level of 1.37800 and then bounce back towards 1.39 zone again as the pound is still strong in the long run against the dollar. REASON FOR OUR BEARISH EXPECTATION: US10Y Government bonds have reached a new high of 1.21 which will boost DXY this week to the upside Bearish Shark formation has formed on both M30 & 1H chart GBP/USD has reached a new high and is almost close to the edge of its Ascending channel, reversals are to be expected OUR POSITIONS: Currently @: 1.39100 Sell Stop @: 1.38750 Sell Stop TP 1 @: 1.38400 Sell Stop TP 2 @: 1.38000 Buy Stop @: 1.39500 Buy Stop TP: 1.40000 Note: Pair might continue uptrend towards 1.39500, keep a close eye on your Buy Stop incase of a false breakout Link to previous analysis below

GBP/USD: Forecast: Possible short then longHere is what to expect in GBP/USD RECAP: In our previous analysis GBP/USD was trading at 1.38170, we expected a retracement from this level back to 1.38000-137800 before continuing its uptrend and GBP/USD did exactly that. Reaching highs of 1.38680, triggering our buy stop at 1.38400 which we closed at 1.38600 after noticing a bearish shark formation on the 4H chart, locking 400 pips on GBP/USD over 20 positions. GBP/USD could not break past this new resistance as DXY was approaching previous support at 90.4-90.3 WHAT TO EXPECT: Currently GBP/USD is bearish and we expect it to continue being bearish till 1.37500 range which was previous resistance for the pair. A break below this will see the pair going back to previous lows of 1.37000, 1.36800 & 1.35600. Meanwhile a bullish butterfly has formed on the M30 chart signaling a potential reversal, if confirmed GBP/USD will go back to 1.38600 and try and break the new resistance at 1.38600 enabling the pair to reach new high around 1.39000 range. GBP/USD is still within the ascending channel. Long term GBP/USD is still Bullish OUR POSITIONS: Buy Stop Positions remain the same see previous analysis Sell Stop @: 1.37300 Sell Stop TP1 @: 1.37000 Sell Stop TP2 @: 1.36500 Previous analysis linked below

GBPUSD Entering Key LONG TERM Zone - Multi-Timeframe AnalysisLike some other USD pairs, GBPUSD closed within a key zone on long term timeframes. *If this is helpful please LIKE or COMMENT so I know whether to keep sharing these charts* MONTHLY (see main chart) We have again entered a KEY pivot zone (yellow parallels) and approaching median line of major downtrend pitchfork (PF). We attempted to enter this zone in September but eventually rejected off the trendline (TL) from 2007 high to form a false break scenario. However October we failed to move lower and the November candle closed INSIDE the lower yellow parallel. If the December closes above this TL and above the yellow parallel we can look for a test of the Median line last tested in 2018 early 2021. NOTE: If we close the month BELOW these levels (have to be sub 1.30 figure) the MONTHLY outlook stays neutral. Weekly We are currently trading within an UPTREND PF joining 2016 low, 2018 high and 2020 low. We closed the week right at resistance on the median line basically on the 2018 OPEN. On a WEEKLY basis we have closed above the 2007 TL BUT as you can see its a bit messy so while it is a guide the pitchfork levels are KEY. We would need a WEEKLY CLOSE above the median line to signal a bullish breakout scenario BUT be aware just like the monthly PF the 14.4% parallel around the median line may act like a pivot zone. Upper target zone would be the yellow 23.6% retracement confluent with the MONTHLY median line in blue (1.37~) to the weekly 14.4% parallel confluent with 2009 high week close (HWC) at 1.3790. Lower target if we breakdown initially is 2020 Open at 1.3253, then the GAP at 1.3230, then the December low at 1.3134. Daily On top of the UPTREND PF shown in the weekly we have also been following another UPTREND PF on the Daily in GREEN. On Thursday we found resistance on the upper 25% line of GREEN PF and retraced back to the 2018 OPEN to close Friday. To remain bullish we need to stay ABOVE the 14.4% parallel. The BULLISH and BEARISH targets are the same as on the WEEKLY chart BUT if we push lower look for the Trendline we have tested 4 times since the May low that is confluent with the October high day close (HDC) at 1.3141. If we breakdown further it really is the 1.30 figure then 1.2850~ and 2019 OPEN at 1.2754. Intraday (4hr) You can see intraday we are also following an UPTREND PF. We did break below 2 weeks ago only to gap back inside and push higher (on the apparently positive BREXIT news). The only additional information here is you can see we closed the week sitting on top of the September high. Due to the volatility I've been trading off the GREEN PF primarily BUT if you are a scalper this near term structure may help you. Just remember we are BULLISH while inside the near term PF so I will be very careful getting overly bearish. On a break I'll look for some near term structure to guide me.

GBPUSD Top-Down Analysis (Short then Long otherwise Long)Hello Traders, Here is the Top-Down Analysis of GBPUSD (Monthly, Weekly, Daily for direction and 4H for entry) for Week 52 - Dec 21 M > Market is respecting multi-year downward trend-line as resistance however this month it has broken resistance trend-line to the upside. W > Price is also respecting rising trend-line on a weekly chart. During its bullish move price has broken two key resistance levels and it further tested next weekly resistance. Bearish divergence can be seen. D > As per analysis 2 weeks ago, and dropping for correction and testing daily support price moved bullish breaking two key resistance levels and faced rejection at third resistance. In the process created bullish flag. Price dropped to retest monthly resistance as support and moved up after facing rejection. Bearish divergence can be seen. As per COT GBP closed both Long and Short, bringing net positions to +ve after 10 weeks. BXY strengthened during the said period and further strengthened last week to test weekly resistance last week. BXY returned back to test previous weekly resistance now turned support suggesting possible bullish continuation further. However we can see bearish divergence in W and D timeframes. 4H > Price broke monthly support to the downside while dropping and facing rejection at daily support. It is now testing monthly support as resistance again. Price closed the week with rejection at curly key level. We can expect two scenarios: 1. Price drops to test weekly support coinciding with major demand zone, it will also create a H & S pattern. This level also coincides with downward trend-line that price has broken this month and it is fair for price to return to test the multi-year trend-line as support. This will be a short term scenario as price will move bullish from this level. 2. Price can continue with its bullish move breaking monthly resistance that it tested at close of market last week. Pair Correlation > GBPUSD has positive correlation with NZDUSD, NZDJPY, GBPJPY and AUDUSD on daily time frame and with GBPCHF and GBPCAD on smaller time frame. This was my Idea and I hope you find it useful. If you find the analysis of help please leave a LIKE and FOLLOW for receiving all updates during the week.

GBPUSD emerging from years long bear trend and going back upBritish Pound/USD is giving us signs that we might begin to see a reversal to the bear trend that has lasted for 13-14 years. 1Y TF white energy is just starting to move up and about to cross the 50 mid-line. Unlike in 2014, where the white energy failed to move above 50 and dropped back down along with green line as the price stair-stepped down, this time the red RSI is at a much lower position where the green line and the white energy may not bounce off of it again, and I think there is a decent chance we may see the white energy go above 50 mid-line in the next 1Y candle. In the meantime, in the lower TFs such as 6M and 4M, we are seeing signs of a budding upward momentum brewing as the price started going back up and above weekly 200 EMA that we have been trading under for almost 7 years now. It is likely to see GBP continue to appreciate for several more months before any mid-long term, months-long correction phase is to take place. In the long term I personally believe that we are going to continue to see the price go up. For a long term investor, it may be a good time to started moving your assets into GBP seeing it has the potential to continue to rise in value. Alternatively, one could wait until the 1Y white energy crosses above 50 for confirmation of upward momentum before getting in. FOREX markets aren't necessarily a playground for scalpers; one could very well do swing trades with GBP. At this point, for the foreseeable few months, I do believe we are at a spot where a mid-long term swing long would be profitable.
