GBPUSD trade ideas
GBPUSD is rising towards the resistance zone of 1.35600GBPUSD is heading towards 1.35600. If the gold price closes around this area, it confirms that the buyers have entered the market. You can set up a BUY signal now with SL placed below the candle wick. After touching 1.356, we can wait for the price reaction and set up a SELL signal again following the sideways border.
Do you agree with our view of buying 1.34900 and SL 1.34600?

GBPUSD Bullish Flag breakout supported at 1.3500The GBP/USD currency pair maintains a bullish sentiment, supported by a rising trendline and sustained higher lows. The recent intraday price action suggests a corrective pullback within an overall uptrend, indicative of a consolidation phase rather than a reversal.
Key Support Level: 1.3500
This level aligns with a previous consolidation zone and is acting as a pivotal support. A pullback toward this level could offer a potential buying opportunity, especially if bullish momentum returns.
Upside Targets (on bullish continuation from 1.3500):
1.3610 – Initial resistance from prior swing high
1.3650 – Intermediate resistance level
1.3700 – Long-term target and potential top of the current bullish channel
Bearish Scenario (if 1.3500 fails):
A daily close below 1.3500 would invalidate the current bullish setup, signaling a potential shift in trend. In that case:
Immediate support at 1.3480
Deeper retracement could extend to 1.3450
Conclusion
The broader trend in GBP/USD remains bullish, with the current consolidation viewed as a potential pullback rather than a reversal. The 1.3500 level is critical — a bounce from here could resume the uptrend toward 1.3610 over time. However, a break and close below 1.3500 would weaken the bullish case and open the door to further downside. Traders should monitor price action closely around this key level for confirmation.

LONDON BREAKOUTGBP/USD London Breakout Strategy
Entry (Breakout Hit Price): 1.35646
Take Profit: 1.35262
Stop Loss: 1.35900
This trade was taken based on my London Session Breakout Strategy.
The setup follows a structured approach:
– Identified the Asian session range

– Breakout occurred at 1.35646, confirming momentum on the downside
Risk-Reward Ratio is favorable, and the stop is placed just above the upper boundary of the Asian range to protect against false breakouts.
GBP/USD Technical Analysis – Bearish Setup Developing!GBP/USD Technical Analysis – Bearish Setup Developing! 🔻
Chart Breakdown (H4):
📌 Resistance Zone (🔴 1.35800 – 1.36000):
The pair has been rejected multiple times from this strong resistance area, marked by multiple upper wicks and bearish pressure. Most recent price action shows another rejection, forming a lower high.
📌 Support Level (🟣 1.34732):
This key horizontal level has acted as a strong support multiple times (highlighted with 🟠 circles), suggesting bulls are attempting to defend this zone.
📉 Bearish Structure Formation:
Price recently tested resistance again and was rejected sharply.
A potential double-top or lower high structure is forming.
A break and close below the 1.34732 support will likely confirm bearish momentum.
📍 Next Target (🔻):
If support breaks, price may fall towards the support demand zone around 1.34150 – 1.34300, aligning with the marked red support box.
📈 Invalidation Point:
A clean breakout and hold above 1.36000 would invalidate this bearish bias and potentially signal continuation higher.

GU-Thu-12/06/25 TDA-Higher US CPI, why GU pumped? explained!Analysis done directly on the chart
Follow for more, possible live trades update!
Here's the tricky part of CPI, this year 2.4% higher
than last year 2.3% but GU still pumped, why?
Because consensus was 2.5% and since it released
2.4% which is lower than consensus, bad for dollar
thus GU pumping.
Active in London session!

GBPUSD Chart Analysis
The pair has continued its upward momentum supported by a trendline, but it's currently pausing near the 1.36000 level. There’s still potential for a breakout above this resistance, so further observation is needed to determine the direction. If it breaks above the recent high, a mid- to long-term rise toward the 1.40000 level is possible. Conversely, failure to break resistance could lead to a decline toward the 1.32000 level.
GBP/USD Short Play – Anticipating a Smooth 87-Pip DropTime of Analysis: 9:15 PM (Central US) | Current Price: 1.35736
Key Levels: 1.35268 (First Target) → 1.34918 (Final Target) | Retracement Spike: 1.35500 (NY Session)
A Strategic Short Ahead of London & NY Session Weakness
Based on observed price action and intermarket dynamics, GBP/USD is primed for a controlled descent over the next 12–18 hours, with Tokyo/Sydney sessions laying the groundwork for London’s bearish momentum. Here’s the breakdown:
1. Current Setup & Immediate Catalysts
Bearish Continuation Pattern: The pair has shown subtle rejection near 1.35800 (key intraday resistance), with weakening upward momentum. The initial 30-pip drop from the evening high suggests sellers are testing the waters.
Tokyo/Sydney Session Role: These sessions often consolidate or extend late NY moves. With USD strength creeping in (e.g., Treasury yields firming, risk-off sentiment in Asia), a slow grind toward 1.35268 is likely before London opens.
2. London Session: The Accelerator
European Liquidity Dive: London traders will likely exploit the lack of bullish defense, pushing GBP/USD toward 1.34918. Key factors:
Divergence with EUR: If EUR/GBP rallies, GBP/USD suffers compounded selling.
UK Data Lull: No major catalysts = technicals dominate.
Order Flow Clue: The drop to 1.35268 may trigger stop-loss cascades below 1.35500, fueling the next leg down.
3. New York Session: The Trap Spike
Classic NY Fakeout: After a steady decline, NY traders often "test" liquidity with a quick spike (likely 1.35500) before resuming the trend. This would:
Trap late shorts chasing the breakdown.
Provide a optimal entry for bears targeting sub-1.34900.
Fed Shadow: Any USD strength from hawkish Fed whispers (even without news) could cap rebounds.
Risk Considerations
Bullish Threat: A surprise London headline (e.g., BoE hike chatter) could stall the move, but the technical structure favors downside.
Stop Placement: Initial stops above 1.35950 (pre-9:15 PM swing high) for early entries. Adjust to 1.35780 if entering post-Tokyo open.
-------------------------------------
Final Call
"87 pips or bust." This is a high-probability, slow-burn short with defined targets. Tokyo/Sydney sets the table, London serves the main course, and NY adds the dessert spike before the next leg down.
Projected Timeline:
Next 6h (Tokyo/Sydney): Drop to 1.35268.
London Open (3AM CT): Acceleration to 1.34918.
NY Open (7AM CT): Spike to 1.35500, then resumption of selling.
Trade smart, trade ruthless.

GBPUSD - ShortWe are looking for short positions on this trade as we are still trading within the downtrend.
We could see the market break a bit to the downside if the markets break the 1.20500 area and start to head towards the 1.19000 area and possibly the 1.18500 area.
Note: please do your own analysis before entering the position.
If you are looking to enter the market, drop down to a lower TF and wait for your confirmations to be met before entering, using the correct risk management.
