GBPUSD Approaching Key Resistance - Will Sellers Step In?OANDA:GBPUSD is approaching a key resistance level, marked by significant selling pressure. This area has historically acted as a key supply zone, increasing the likelihood of a bearish reaction if sellers step in again. The current market structure suggests that if the price confirms a rejection from this resistance level, there is a high probability of a downward move. I anticipate that if rejection occurs, the market may head lower toward the 1.30950 level, which serves as a logical target within the current market structure. However, a break above this resistance would invalidate the bearish bias and could lead to further upside. This setup reflects the potential for a retracement after an impulsive move, supported by the confluence of previous price behavior and the current structure.

EDUCATION: The $5 Drop: How Trump’s Tariffs Sent Oil TumblingOil markets don’t move in a vacuum. Politics, trade wars, and global economic shifts all play a role in price action. Case in point: the recent $5 drop in oil prices following Trump’s latest tariff announcement. What Happened? Markets reacted swiftly to Trump’s renewed push for tariffs, targeting key trading partners. The result? A ripple effect that sent oil prices tumbling as traders anticipated lower global demand. The logic is simple—higher tariffs slow trade, slowing trade weakens economies, and weaker economies use less oil. Why It Matters to Traders For traders, this kind of volatility is both an opportunity and a risk. Sharp price drops like this shake out weak hands while rewarding those who position themselves with clear strategies. If you trade crude oil, understanding the macro picture—beyond just supply and demand—can make or break your positions. The Next Move Is this just a knee-jerk reaction, or the start of a larger trend? Smart traders are watching key levels, tracking institutional order flow, and looking for confirmation before making their next move. How do you react when headlines move the market? Do you panic, or do you position yourself with a plan? Drop a comment and let’s talk strategy.

The basis for a bullish outlook on GBPUSD in the futureAnalysis of Market Influencing Factors and GBP/USD Trends 1. Impact of Tariff and Trade Policies Trump planned to impose reciprocal tariffs on April 2nd, targeting sectors like automobiles, pharmaceuticals, and semiconductors to equalize tariffs with US trading partners. This stoked fears of a US economic recession, pressuring the US dollar. As a USD - denominated currency pair, GBP/USD gained upward support as the dollar weakened. Moreover, investors shifted funds from US - dollar assets to sterling assets to avoid tariff - policy uncertainties, further driving up GBP/USD. Additionally, Trump's radical trade policies were unlikely to change substantially in the short term. The ongoing trade frictions continued to harm the US economy, eroding market confidence in the dollar and providing sustained support for GBP/USD's rise. 2. Influence of Macroeconomic Data Non - farm payroll data, a key barometer of the US job market, significantly impacts the US dollar's trend. Strong non - farm payroll data indicates a booming US job market and good economic growth, usually strengthening the dollar and causing GBP/USD to decline. 3. Positive UK Economic Data Despite some uncertainties, strong recent UK retail sales data demonstrated the resilience of the UK economy. If subsequent economic data such as CPI and GDP remains positive, market confidence in the pound will grow, pushing GBP/USD higher. Currently, market optimism about GBP/USD is rising. With the impacts of tariff policies and non - farm payroll data subsiding, GBP/USD has returned to normal. Supported by both technical and fundamental factors and a favorable market environment, GBP/USD is likely to keep rising. Investors may consider buying on dips to seize opportunities. However, the forex market is highly volatile. Investors should monitor market trends closely and manage risks properly. 💎💎💎 GBPUSD 💎💎💎 🎁 Buy@1.28000 - 1.28500 🎁 TP 1.30000 - 1.3100 The market has been extremely volatile lately.

GBPUSD → False break of weekly support + DXY fallFX:GBPUSD is going through a shakeout phase relative to the trading range. Last week was very challenging in terms of unpredictable moves and volatility. A strong NFP report on Friday allowed the dollar to strengthen, but the reaction from the opening of the new trading week has already exhausted itself as traders are still watching the tariff war, which simply crashed the stock, futures markets. Technically, the currency pair on this background can win out, as the pound sterling within the ascending trend, the fall of the dollar can continue the growth phase. On the chart, the price forms a false breakdown of the support conglomerate, which in general may push the price up due to the imbalance of liquidity and interests of money moving away from the dollar Resistance levels: 1.2932, 1.3010 Support levels: 1.2828, 1.2811 If the bulls will keep the price above 1.2868 and will be able to consolidate above 1.2932, in the short term the market can show growth up to the next target - resistance 1.3010.

GBPUSD: Potential Pullback Trade Explained 🇬🇧🇺🇸 GBPUSD closed this week, respecting a key daily horizontal support cluster. Analyzing the intraday price action, I spotted a nice double bottom pattern on an hourly time frame. To buy the pair with a confirmation after the market opening, I suggest waiting for a bullish breakout of its neckline. An hourly candle close above will confirm a violation. A bullish move will be expected at least to 1.296 level then. ❤️Please, support my work with like, thank you!❤️ I am part of Trade Nation's Influencer program and receive a monthly fee for using their TradingView charts in my analysis.

GBP/USD Outlook: Rejected 1.3200 — Is 1.2700 the Next Target?GBP/USD Weekly Forecast – April Week 2 Last week, GBP/USD reached an extreme supply zone near 1.3200, which was also a clean area of imbalance. The pair rejected hard from that level and closed with a strong bearish weekly candle. On the daily chart, we saw a bearish engulfing pattern, confirming downside momentum. Although the daily close didn’t break below 1.2880, the technical setup remains valid — especially when aligned with the broader forecast for USD strength. If price pulls back to 1.2970 (last Thursday’s low and a key resistance), this may offer a new entry for continuation toward the next major demand zone near 1.2700. Bias: Bearish Key Levels: • Resistance: 1.2970 (former support turned resistance) • Support: 1.2700 (target demand zone) This setup aligns with the current macro environment and DXY strength outlook. Structure is still intact for further GBP weakness. — Weekly forecast by Sphinx Trading Drop your view in the comments. #GBPUSD #Forex #Cable #ForexForecast #TechnicalAnalysis #SphinxWeekly #USD #PriceAction #SmartMoney
