GBPUSD SELLING MODE OPPORTUNITY FULL OF FALL ASLEEP 1. Resistance May Not Hold The analysis assumes the resistance zone is strong and will lead to a reversal. However, if bullish momentum continues, there could be a breakout above resistance instead of rejection. A breakout above 1.2680 could invalidate the bearish outlook. 2. Trendline Breakout Is Not Always Reliable While the breakout from the support area led to a strong uptrend, it doesn't guarantee a reversal at resistance. Sometimes, price consolidates and continues higher rather than reversing sharply. 3. Liquidity Grab Possibility The price could fake a drop below support, trapping sellers, before reversing higher. The marked "selling zone" might be a liquidity area where big players accumulate positions before a breakout. 4. Fundamental Factors Can Change Direction News events, interest rate decisions, or economic reports can disrupt technical patterns. A major announcement favoring GBP could push the price higher instead of following the predicted bearish move. Alternative Outlook If GBP/USD breaks above 1.2680, it could invalidate the bearish setup and target 1.2720+ instead of dropping. Instead of expecting a hard rejection at resistance, traders should watch for signs of consolidation or a fake breakout before making a decision.

Will GBPUSD continue its uptrend after good economic data?GBP/USD news: 🔆The Pound Sterling edges higher against its major counterparts following the release of the UK's Consumer Price Index (CPI) data for January, which revealed that inflation rose at a faster-than-expected 🔆However, the impact of elevated inflation is unlikely to provide sustained support for the British currency. The Bank of England (BoE) has already indicated in its latest monetary policy statement that inflation may rise temporarily due to increasing energy costs before gradually returning to the 2% target. On Monday, BoE Governor Andrew Bailey stated in an interview with BusinessLine that the anticipated inflation surge is unlikely to be persistent, emphasizing that the economy’s sluggish growth could counter inflationary pressures 🔆Nonetheless, rising inflation could limit the BoE’s ability to implement further monetary easing. Investors will now shift their focus to the UK Retail Sales data for January and the preliminary S&P Global/CIPS Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) figures for February 🔆Meanwhile, renewed concerns over US tariffs could strengthen the US Dollar. On Tuesday, President Donald Trump announced plans to impose a 25% tariff on imports of automobiles, semiconductors, and pharmaceuticals, with the possibility of further increases in the coming year. Such measures could weigh on glob Personal opinion: 🔆GBP will continue to rise in the near future after being supported by positive economic data, although Trump's upcoming tariff policy may increase the strength of the dollar, but in the long term these tariff policies may weaken the dollar. This may make investors consider carefully, causing the dollar to continue to decline in the near future Technical analysis: 🔆Based on important resistance - support levels combined with SMA indicator to come up with a suitable strategy Plan: 🔆Price Zone Setup: 👉BUY GBP/USD 1.2600 – 1.2580 ❌SL: 1.2540 | ✅TP: 1.2630 – 1.2700 – 1.2750 FM wishes you a successful trading day 💰💰💰

GBP/USD: Bank of England's Cautious Tone Sparks DeclineThe British pound has retreated from its recent gains, succumbing to downward pressure as Bank of England (BoE) Governor Andrew Bailey voiced his apprehensions regarding the economic outlook. This cautious stance from the BoE's leadership has cast a shadow over the currency, prompting investors to reassess their positions. From a technical analysis perspective, the GBP/USD pair is currently navigating a critical zone, characterized by a supply area that has historically acted as a barrier to upward movement. Notably, the latest Commitments of Traders (COT) report reveals that retail traders are predominantly positioned on the bullish side of the market, suggesting a potential mismatch between market sentiment and the underlying fundamentals. Furthermore, seasonal patterns indicate that the pound may be on the cusp of a bearish momentum shift. This confluence of technical and seasonal factors has created a high-probability setup for a potential reversal, with the price action poised to challenge the recent uptrend. In light of these developments, we are actively seeking a short setup, anticipating that the pound's decline may gain momentum in the near term. The alignment of technical, fundamental, and seasonal forces suggests that the GBP/USD pair may be vulnerable to a corrective move, presenting an opportunity for traders to capitalize on the potential downturn. As the market continues to evolve, careful monitoring of the price action and trading sentiment will be crucial in determining the optimal entry and exit points for this potential short trade. ✅ Please share your thoughts about GBP/USD in the comments section below and HIT LIKE if you appreciate my analysis.
