GBP/USD - Weekend analysis, a short opportunity We begin the analysis on the 30 minute chart, we can see that a 5 point trendline has been broken on Friday, the end of the week. Price never recovered above the trendline by day end and is currently trending down as we can see from the new trendline connecting the closing prices of a few recent candles. When we zoom in on the chart we can also see that the break of the trendline occurred on high volume, a key signal that we should respect this break and expect a potential significant move to follow. We can also see on the RSI that price is below 50 which means downside momentum is still present. This is a good opportunity to get in on a short trade and place a stop loss above the trendline that was broken, aiming for a take profit that grants a 1:1.5 RR.

GBP/USD – Bullish Setup Off Key Moving AveragesPair: GBP/USD Bias: 🔼 Bullish Entry Level: Current market price (see chart) Stop Loss: Below recent swing low (see chart for exact level) Target: Risk-reward of 1:2 or higher, based on structure --- GBP/USD is showing strong bullish momentum, currently bouncing off the 200-period moving average on the 4H/1H timeframe. This level has acted as dynamic resistance and now appears to be providing support for the next leg up. In confluence with this, price action is also approaching the 200-period moving average, which I'm using as both a resistance confirmation and an ideal entry zone. This setup suggests a potential continuation of the prevailing uptrend, supported by bullish market structure and moving average dynamics. 📊 Trade Plan: Entry: At current price or on a slight pullback to the 200 MA Stop Loss: Just below the previous swing low to protect against a deeper correction Take Profit: Using a risk-reward ratio of 1:2 or higher, targeting previous highs or fib extensions 📌 Notes: Always manage your risk per your trading rules Confirm with your own strategy or indicators before entering Watch for key news events (e.g., BOE or Fed announcements)

Cable touches fresh three-year highs above $1.36Cable’s long uptrend, lasting since the start of the year, has continued in June so far with the price reaching a new high on 5 June. Relative political stability in Britain can be contrasted with the USA’s chaotic implementation of new tariffs and friction in the governing Republican party over the tax and spending bill. The uptrend is quite mature and the price currently overbought while, as for many other major pairs, volume and ATR have declined significantly and Bollinger Bands contracted since April. The obvious long-term target is the area of the 100% monthly Fibonacci retracement, 2021’s high, but even if the uptrend continues that far it’s likely to take a long time for the price to reach this area. The 50 SMA from Bands is slightly below $1.34, so this seems like a possibly significant support in the short to medium term as both a static and dynamic area. The Fed and BoE will meet on consecutive days on 18 and 19 June, so volatility around then is likely to increase sharply and, depending on the bankers’ comments, it might become clearer whether to expect continuation or consolidation. This is my personal opinion, not the opinion of Exness. This is not a recommendation to trade.

GBPUSD Approaches Key Resistance: Watch for Bearish ReversalGBPUSD pair is trading within a clearly defined ascending channel on the 1-hour chart, showing a short-term bullish structure. However, this bullish move appears corrective within a broader consolidation range capped near the 1.3590 resistance zone. 🔍 Technical Breakdown: Current Price: 1.35535 Immediate Resistance: 1.35885–1.35929 (previous highs and psychological level) Support Levels: Trendline support near 1.3530 Horizontal support: 1.34282, 1.34176 Structure: Price has formed a bullish flag breakout and is now approaching key resistance. A new higher high is anticipated toward 1.3590, but this level has repeatedly rejected price in the past. The projected path indicates a potential liquidity grab above 1.3590 followed by a sell-off toward 1.3420–1.3410 area, aligning with a trendline break scenario. Bearish Scenario: A strong rejection from the 1.3590 zone, especially if accompanied by bearish divergence or a strong candle close, could trigger a shift back down to the 1.3417–1.3428 support zone. This would confirm a short-term top and potential retracement toward lower liquidity zones. 📊 Fundamental Backdrop: USD-side: Recent U.S. labor market strength (e.g. ADP report and low jobless claims) supports a hawkish bias, favoring USD upside. However, Fed policymakers remain cautious due to trade tensions and tariff uncertainty. This has injected short-term volatility into USD pairs. GBP-side: UK economic data has been mixed, with GDP growth forecasts under scrutiny. BoE policymakers are dovish, emphasizing weak productivity and wage pressures, making the pound vulnerable to downside catalysts. 📌 Conclusion: Watch for a potential bull trap near 1.3590, followed by a bearish reversal toward 1.3420–1.3410 if momentum weakens and sellers step in. This would complete the expected technical leg down and align with broader risk sentiment if dollar strength returns.

Fundamental Market Analysis for June 6, 2025 GBPUSDThe GBP/USD pair is trading near 1.3570 with little movement ahead of the US (US) labor market data. The US Dollar Index (DXY), which measures the value of the US Dollar against six major currencies, is trading above around 98.80 at the time of writing. The upcoming US non-farm payrolls data for May is expected to add 130,000 jobs, down from April's 177,000. The unemployment rate is also expected to remain unchanged at 4.2%. Weekly initial jobless claims rose to 247,000, above the 235,000 expected, U.S. Labor Department data showed. ADP US private sector employment data released on Thursday showed a 37,000 increase in May versus a 60,000 increase (revised from 62,000) recorded in April, well below market expectations of 115,000. GBP/USD is gaining support as the Pound Sterling (GBP) finds support amid rising risk sentiment in the United Kingdom (UK) markets following US President Donald Trump's executive order signed on Tuesday. British exporters still face the previous 25 percent tariff rate as Trump granted the UK temporary relief from the US' stiff 50 percent tariffs on steel and aluminum. Trading recommendation: SELL 1.3500, SL 1.3600, TP 1.3300

GBPUSD - hoyrly chartTrading idea: Short once support 1.35406 is broken! Support and resistance: 🔴 Resistance Levels: 1.35768 — the nearest key resistance; a recent swing high before the current decline. 1.35848 – 1.35896 — resistance zone where previous pullbacks and consolidations occurred; could act as a ceiling if retested. 1.36100 — the upper boundary of the range, a potential target if the price breaks out higher. 🟡 Support Levels: 1.35406 — current price level near local support; the price is attempting to build a base here. 1.35118 — an important support level that previously triggered bullish reversals. 1.35010 — an additional support area near recent lows. 1.34917 — strong support, aligned with a previous bottom that marked the beginning of an upward impulse. 🔍 Additional Notes: The price is consolidating near the lower edge of the short-term range, under pressure from the descending trendline. RSI is approaching neutral territory — a potential for a reversal exists, but no clear signal yet. Volume remains moderate, suggesting limited activity from major players — increasing the probability of a sideways move in the near term.
