GBPUSD trade ideas
GBPUSD: Bearish pressure persistsGBPUSD is consolidating below a key medium-term resistance zone, with a rounding top and a minor head-and-shoulders pattern forming. The price is currently retesting the Fair Value Gap near 1.34900 — a potential reversal zone if it fails to break higher.
On the fundamental side, the Bank of England's decision to hold interest rates on June 19 disappointed the market. Meanwhile, the US dollar remains supported by safe-haven demand and the Federal Reserve’s hawkish tone, adding further pressure on GBP.
If GBPUSD fails to hold the trendline support near 1.33700, the risk of a deeper decline increases. Both the technical structure and macro fundamentals favor the bears.

GBP/USD Daily Chart Analysis – June 20, 2025📉 GBP/USD Daily Chart Analysis – June 20, 2025 📊
📌 Chart Overview:
The GBP/USD pair is currently experiencing a critical technical phase. After a strong bullish rally from January 2025, price action has approached a key resistance level near the 1.3600 zone. Here's the detailed breakdown:
🟦 Key Highlights:
🔹 Resistance Zone 💥
Price is testing a major horizontal resistance between 1.3450 – 1.3600. This area has acted as a supply zone where sellers are currently active.
🔹 Trendline Support 🔺
A long-standing bullish trendline, active since early 2025, has been retested multiple times, confirming the trend’s strength.
🔹 Retest in Progress 🔄
Price recently pulled back after hitting the resistance and is now retesting the broken trendline, indicating a potential shift in trend if the trendline fails to hold.
🔹 Fake Breakout ⚠️
An earlier attempt to break below the trendline in April turned out to be a false breakout, which fueled bullish continuation. A similar scenario could be developing.
📊 Technical Outlook:
📈 If price breaks and closes above 1.3600, it would indicate strong bullish momentum and could open doors toward new highs.
📉 However, if the trendline breaks convincingly and retest fails, sellers may gain control with potential downside targets around 1.3200 and 1.3000.
📍 Conclusion:
GBP/USD is at a make-or-break zone 🧨. Traders should monitor the reaction at the trendline and resistance closely. Breakout or rejection here will shape the mid-term direction.
🔔 Watch for confirmation signals before entering positions.
UK retail sales slide, Pound edges higherThe British pound has gained ground for a second straight day. In the European session, GBP/USD is trading at 1.3496, up 0.22% on the day.
UK retail sales took a tumble in May, falling 2.7% m/m. This followed an upwardly revised 1.3% increase in April and was much worse than the market estimate of -0.5%. This marked the steepest decline since December 2023 and was driven by a sharp drop in food store sales.
Consumers are being squeezed by inflation and are pessimistic about economic conditions - Gfk consumer confidence for June rose slightly to -18 from -20. Annually, retail sales dropped 1.3%, following a 5.0% gain in April and missing the market estimate of 1.7%. This was the weakest reading since April 2024.
The dismal retail sales report reflects the volatile economic landscape and there may not be a light at the end of the tunnel for some time. The Israel-Iran war could lead to oil prices continuing to rise and the uncertainty over US tariffs will only add to the worries of the UK consumer.
The Bank of England held rates on Thursday but the weak retail sales report will add pressure on the central bank to lower rates in the summer. The markets expect one or two rate cuts in 2025, but the main impediment to a rate cut is stubbornly high inflation.
Inflation ticked lower to 3.4% y/y in May from 3.5% a month earlier. The core rate dropped to 3.5% from 3.8% but these numbers are still too high, well above the BoE's target of 2%. Without signs that inflation is easing, it will be difficult for the BoE to justify a rate cut.
GBP/USD is testing resistance at 1.3498. Above, there is resistance at 1.3527
1.3440 and 1.3411 are providing support
GBPUSD Wave Analysis – 20 June 2025
GBPUSD: ⬆️ Buy
- GBPUSD reversed from support zone
- Likely to rise to the resistance level at 1.3600
GBPUSD currency pair recently reversed up from the support zone located between the support level 1.3400 (former resistance from April), lower daily Bollinger Band and 50% Fibonacci correction of the upward impulse from May.he upward reversal from this support zone continues the active daily uptrend from the start of this year.
GBPUSD currency pair can be expected to rise to the next resistance level at 1.3600 (which stopped the previous impulse wave (5) earlier this month).
GBPUSD hit its 1D MA50. Perfect buy signal.The GBPUSD pair has been trading within a Channel Up pattern since the January 13 2025 market bottom. Yesterday it hit its 1D MA50 (blue trend-line) for the first time since April 08.
This is the most efficient buy entry as the 1D MA50 has been supporting since the February 13 break-out. Even the 1D CCI turned oversold and rebounded, which is consistent with all bottom buys inside the Channel Up.
The Bullish Leg can extend to as high as +5.05% but due to the presence of the Inner Higher Highs trend-line, we first target 1.3850 (+3.43% rise).

GBP/USD Stable as BoE Vote SplitsThe pound steadied near 1.34 following the Bank of England’s decision to hold rates. The vote revealed deeper division than expected, with six members supporting a hold and three pushing for a 25 basis point cut, contrary to forecasts of a 7-2 split.
The BoE faces a tough balancing act as it weighs sticky inflation, geopolitical risks, and the economic drag of US tariffs.
Resistance is seen at 1.3500, while support holds at 1.3415.

Mister Y
GBPUSD short!Classic Wyckoff upthrust, this is A+
We’ve got a clear AB=CD completion at C, tagging previous support-turned-resistance, while the volume on the climb is drying up (classic clue of passive buyers getting trapped). The channel top + Fibonacci confluence + previous swing zone adds weight.
🔻 Trade Idea:
Entry: 1.3477
Stop: 1.3521 (above wick highs and structure)
Target 1: 1.3401 (break structure)
Target 2: 1.3276 (full measured move / spring's origin)
Risk-Reward: ~3.5R
Volume divergence confirms exhaustion.
Ideal reaction would break through mid-line and sustain under 1.3401.
🔍 Watch For:
Bearish engulfing confirmation on 1h
Volume spike during breakdown = smart money selling
If price lingers above 1.3515, trap invalid
