GBPUSP (6B1!) Intraday trade - SHORTLooking like cable wants to retest the STONG support zone it broke recently.
As we know, when support breaks, it becomes RESISTANCE.
A good BREAKOUT entry would be below the 12:00am candle today.
Please remember, Jackson hole is today so exercise extra caution and if needs be, reduce your lot size. Remember, protect your profit.
6B1! trade ideas
GBPUSD (6B1!) Intraday trade - LONGThe news release was bad for the dollar.
it should soon reverse.
If the DXY falls off, cable should gain some strength.
Looking for a BREAKOUT LONG above the current 30 min candle. It seems like it has re-tested the bottom of the rage, so it makes sense to look for longs here.
Again, ONLY ENTER A BREAKOUT LONG ABOVE THE CURRENT 30 MIN CANDLE.
British Pound Futures 6BV3Disclaimer-Doing this mobile, it really sucks to be honest but here we go.
British Pound October 2023 - Short
Why V instead of U, concerns about the open interest on the September contracts on the CME. Open interest shirks about one month out, don’t get left holding the bag. For option traders, this does not affect your trade, your preference should be 6BU3 not 6BV3, futures is different.
In the last 15 years has a probability of success of 66%. Not the greatest however this 66% is “targets achieved” so as long as it is managed and not “set and forget” you should get some profit out of it. My first target for assessment is at 1.25$ or about there (mobile) that is a .02->.03 draw down and then the king killer target is at 1.21 which is over the last 15yr the high end for profit (.07$) which also lines up with support levels. However just because it lines up doesn’t mean sh*t. Setups could include a calendar spread, back end contract best option would be March imo, or you can hedge the risk on the USD (DX! U3 or V3 on ICE or something)on a long dated or tight (close stops)6BV3 contract.
Option dawgs
Best case you buy the put and are in it for a short time bc extrinsic value on the option contract will increase so I would not leave it open til the 29th unlike a futures contract. Selling premium here instead is safer however you won’t make as much $ as a bought put. I may wait on the credit side until it recovers in Dec. Whether you’re running the option naked or as a debit spread it should be managed regularly.
I cannot post external sites/info however reach out to me and I can provide further documentation. Hope this is readable……

GBPUSD (6B1!) Midterm trade - LONGLooks like the pound has retested the bottom of this mid term trend.
Placing a BREAKOUT long above the current 4HR candle with a target at the top of the range makes sense.
Expecting cable to stay range bound for the foreseeable future, at least until we can discern whether the UK will have a hard or shallow recession.
$M6B - Huge Drop and High timeframe reversal coming upM6B had a huge drop today and checks all the boxes on the change of structure, liquidity grab on both the 4hr and 15m charts. On top of that the .618 (Orange) is right at the $1.2641. If this breaks into the grey box below and does not close below $1.2609 then it is a really good solid play. I put the PT at $1.2755 which was yesterday's close, but the .618 on the way down (Green) is at $1.2766, so above the close.
Short British PoundCommercials have been actively distributing sterling over the past month and a half, even as large and small speculators persist in taking long positions. However, today witnessed a startling turn of events as the Bank of England caught the market off guard by implementing a substantial 50 basis point rate hike. In the event that the price concludes the day on a downward trajectory, I will initiate a short position on the British Pound. This occurrence exemplifies a phenomenon known as 'news failure,' wherein bullish news unexpectedly yields bearish price action. Consequently, if today indeed marks the peak of the market, I intend to set my stop loss order at the day's high.
GBP - 1.24 Lower Next?!GBP - 1.24 Next?! CME:6B1! FX:GBPUSD
GBPUSD - 1.24 Next!
We've had a great run, I'd still be buying longer term dips on GBP - However, for now I feel a pull back is due and this is great opportunity for us traders to take opportunities of the bull and bear side!
Overall pattern, wedge - We've broken to down side the first area of interest to me is 1.24/ 1.23 high areas and the next would be 1.22 areas! If we are to close above 1.25 i'd be re thinking this plan...

GBPUSD - Short Term Bearish Analysis/ExpectationThis expectation is a framework to look for a potential trading setup; I don't just execute based on these levels, I always wait for confirmations on lower timeframes

GBP - Month & Quarter End...GBP - Month & Quarter End...
What a quarter we've had...We do still have plenty of data coming out today. Buckle up!
We just had EUR CPI flash coming out lower than expected but the core is in line but today we have another important data print coming out of US - Core PCE Price Index m/m. Which is a key metric the FED are taking into account.
Now I don't know about you but end of the month and end of the quarter is week I take off and just watch the market as we do get lot of funky moves and I know a lot people struggle with FOMO I was one of them but you got know when to step away and stand on the side line! GBP we hitting the key resistance areas the next area to take into consideration is 1.24/1.25 areas. I've been bullish GBP since the start of the year and I am still very much bullish on GBP but you got trade what you see, not what you think. You can see through my 2023 post regarding where most of them majors could reach.
Now where we are today technically, in a bullish trend as long as we are within this channel on cable, we go above the areas of 1.24500 then I expect 1.26 - key resistance is 1.25 keep that in mind... but if we struggle and we go below the areas of 1.2310 support then I expect 1.22 to be key support.
Now, i'd be careful trading today....It's Friday a good trader well known as 'Coach' always stated "Don't make your PnL on Friday!"
Let's have a great Q2 - all the best traders!

pound🎯 I m in the short, BOE in a few minutes but I hold thru the news.
🟧Entry basics
Never enter blindly on the level. Always put everything in a higher timeframe context. The level must be violated and the price has to do a pullback and Break of the structure. Then you look for the entry on the order block or FVG above/below 50% pullback. SL is above swing high and set TP to 3R. Don't try to predict where the price will go next or don't try to take 1:50R trade. We trade intraday reversal and reaction on the level. We get our 3R and get out of the market.
For the short trade, the scheme would be obviously an upside-down picture picture
🟩When to enter the trade
Setup and entry must occur at these times, as it's the time when we can get the biggest volatility and highest probability
🔵London Session - 02:00-05:00 NY time // 08:00-11:00 EU time
🟢New York Session - 07:00-10:00 NY time // 14:00 - 17:00 EU time
This Strategy is not about predicting the market and the next movements. It's about the trading reaction in the liquidity levels. Which is good enough to make money by trading a couple of hours a week.
GBPUSD perhaps moving up?FX:GBPUSD Well this gonna be hard to tell. GBP USD is in clear bullish move since Nov 2022, and now accumulate/distribute. There are so many news which hurt TVC:DXY
I'm expect OANDA:GBPUSD will go up for a few more week. It's has a perfect pullback to the 50% when moving up from Nov 4th, has something like Spring in Wyckoff. Price try to move lower but market didn't accept it. Let's test the upside one more time.
pound🎯 I will be looking for entries in the external liquidity levels as highlighted on the charts
🟩 Trading TIme
Setups must occur at these times otherwise I'm not interested.
🔵London Killzone - LOKZ 02:00-05:00 NY time // 08:00-11:00 EU time
🟢New York Killzone - NYKZ - 07:00-10:00 NY time // 14:00 - 17:00 EU time
🟧Entry Scheme
Never enter blindly on the level. Always look for the break of the structure and pullback as the scheme shows.
Yes, sometimes the market will not pull back and you miss a trade that's the part of the game. But it's better not to be in the trade you want to be than,
being in the trade you don't want to be.
For the short trade, the scheme would be obviously an upside-down picture picture
🟦 Rules
-Skip the London session if the Asia session was trending
- Wait for manipulation at the session open, which enters HTF POI and takes out Buy-side liquidity/ Sell-side Liquidity
- Look at smart money divergence as the additional confluence
- Wait for Break of Structure ( M1 if in sync with trend / HTF BOS if counter-trend) + displacement/momentum shift M3 /M5 candle close for confirmation
- Figure out: where is your invalidation (SL) and FPOL (TP1) before entering your trade
- Enter short at pullback to first POI (FVG/ OTE /OB) above respective EQ ( discount ) of Return to origin area on lower timeframe
- Set SL above swing low of manipulation, as price already took LQ out it should not go there again.
- When the price moves 50% of the expected Target range, the stop loss can be trimmed by 25%
- When the price moves 75% of the expected range the stop loss can be trimmed to breakeven
- Never trade a POI that has liquidity resting above (short) or below (long),
- Don't enter when FPOL (for example swing low/high) has been hit before getting you into the position
- Never enter a trade right before news events.
- Don't try to predict the market, just take 1:3 RR on the level and get out.
- This is intraday trading but there is no trade every day.
Pick just the best setups. In theory, we have 2 pairs, 2 trading sessions 5 trading days in a week its 20 opportunities.
You don't need to trade them all. With 1:3 RR, making consistently 3 good trades in a week will put you into top 1% class of traders.
🟦Market Maker model Schematics
🟪Smart Money Divergence
The dollar index and USD pairs usually trade asymmetric, for example, DXY making higher highs will result in $EURUSD making lower lows and vice versa. When the price on one has lower lows, it is expected that the other should reach higher highs. When this does not occur, we have smart money Divergence. This is suggestive of major accumulation/consolidation in advance of a major move in the opposite direction.
This is just the basics of my strategy, but enough for you to know what to do on the levels.
👊 BRUCE LEE´S RECOMMENDATIONS:
1 ) “Adapt what is useful, reject what is useless, and add what is specifically your own.”
- Inspired by elements of Market Profile, ICT, and SupplyandDemands strategies I adapted what is useful, rejected useless and added specifically my own parts.
2) “I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times.“
- The quote above teaches us about mastery. You don't need to know 5 strategies, tenths of formations, or have 20 pairs on the watchlist. Learn 1 setup pick up 2 pairs and practice them 10 000 times, and become a specialist.

Good luck
