Breaking through the nearby resistance suggests a strong potential for further upward movement, with the peak of this rally expected to reach the 1.25000 level. On the other hand, if the pair reverses downward, a decline to the 1.20000 level is anticipated.

More Selloff potential It is possible that the market may selloff starting at 1.25732 approx. So Im a seller there with a stop at 1.27. Its highly likely that the market wont touch that level in my opinion. The same price "frequency" that caused the low at 1.21 will be the same frequency that produces resistance at 1.25732. The repeat pattern (inverted) from feb 5th 2024 low to march 8th high and the downswing from July 13th to august 25th combined provides the expected action to play out at 1.25732. I am a seller for now. Will it get there? Only TIME will tell.

Fundamental Market Analysis for January 22, 2025 GBPUSDThe Pound saw mixed results from UK labour data, but the UK's own Labour Department is taking the figures as a grain of salt. On the US side, US President Donald Trump brushed aside his campaign promises of sweeping tariffs against all US trading partners, focusing on new, more subtle tariff threats against US North American trading partners Canada and Mexico. Markets shuddered as investors tried to keep up with the new headline generator - President Trump. Investors were betting big that the newly minted US president would not impose tariffs on day one, as he has long threatened to do, but a new round of renewed trade rhetoric has market sentiment fluctuating in the mid-range. With only little significant data scheduled for Wednesday, pairs traders will focus on the headlines likely to be released during US trading hours. Pound traders will be keeping an eye on Friday's Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) data from S&P Global, which is due out on both sides of the Atlantic. Trading recommendation: Watch the level of 1.2280, when fixing below consider Sell positions, when rebounding consider Buy positions.

"Rising Wedge Breakdown and Bullish Flag Breakout: Key Targets AThis chart highlights two key patterns in the GBPUSD market analysis, signaling possible trading opportunities: Key Description: 1. Rising Wedge (Bearish Reversal): The chart starts with a rising wedge, where the price consolidates with higher highs and higher lows. This is typically a bearish pattern, often signaling a potential downside breakout, as seen in this case. 2. Bullish Flag (Continuation): After the initial drop from the wedge, a bullish flag forms, characterized by a sharp rise followed by a downward-sloping channel. This indicates a temporary consolidation before continuing the upward trend. 3. Targets: The bullish flag suggests the price may break out upward to meet the target projected higher. Precise entry and exit points are crucial for capitalizing on the upward movement. This setup indicates a potential long opportunity, with the flag breakout aligning with the broader bullish momentum. Manage risks effectively, as pattern breakouts may not always reach projected targets.

Pound slips as UK payrolls slideThe British pound continues to show sharp swings this week. After a spectacular 1.3% gain on Monday, GBP/USD has reversed directions and is trading at 1.2233 in the European session, down 0.68% on the day. The UK payrolls report, a reliable indicator of employment growth, showed a sharp decline of 47 thousand m/m in December 2024. This was the largest decline since Nov. 2020 and follows a revised -32 thousand in November. The back-to-back declines are a result of the government's new payroll taxes in the budget, which is causing businesses to release workers. Wage growth (excluding bonuses) remains hot and increased to 5.6% in December, in line with the market estimate and higher than the 5.2% gain in November. While the weak employment data will be a headache for the UK government, it supports the case for the Bank of England to cut interest rates in order to kick-start the flagging economy. The BoE held rates in December and meets next on Feb. 6, with a quarter-point cut priced in at 85%. Inflation has remained sticky and the jump in wage growth is a reminder of the upside risk of inflation. The BoE may be looking at rate cuts in the coming months but it will have to do so cautiously, ever mindful of inflation. In the US, the strong nonfarm payrolls report for December is raising the possibility that the easing cycle may be over. The Bank of America doesn't expect any rate cuts in 2025 and says the risks for the next move are tilted towards a hike. The Fed started the easing cycle with a bang in September 2024, chopping rates by a half-point, but the strong economy means Fed policy makers may have to consider rate hikes in 2025. GBP/USD has pushed below support at 1.2278. and is putting pressure on support at 1.2211 1.2395 and 1.2462 are the next resistance lines
