GBP/USD Weekly Analysis"On Monthly: Like other USD pairs, this one is Bearish too. After a Bearish Engulfing in October, it made a Doji that looks more Bullish than Bearish in the month of November. It seems it got stock between 1.28600 and 1.24800 which is 380 Pips. It stopped at 1.27500. I suspect it will go back up to 1.28600 before heading back down to 1.24800 at last. -- On Weekly: At this time frame we can see the uptrend towards Monthly trend line (RED) as it bounced back off of Daily trendline (Gray). It formed Morning Star and going up to 1.28600. All three EMAs 200, 50 and 20 are squeezed and easy to break one way or another. It seems very risky either Bullish or Bearish trade at this time frame. --On Daily: ""V"" shape reversal has been formed and it seems it's going back up. All three EMAs are Bearish. But it may continue Bullish up 1.28600 as it seems it has made a Head & Shoulders to bounce back down. -- On Hourly: On the contrary of Daily chart, it has made a multi-bottom formation for Bullish move. Let's see how the price will perform at 1.27500 Historical resistant. All three EMA's are Bullish and it's spreading open so far."

GBPUSD DOWN The Pound Sterling clings to earlier gains yet trades off the weekly highs, which reached around 1.2749 during the European session. At the time of writing, the GBP/USD trades at 1.2684, virtually unchanged.GBP/USD Price Forecast: Technical outlook Although the GBP/USD is set for weekly gains of over 1.2%, price action suggests Cable didn’t find acceptance above 1.2700, which could exacerbate a pullback toward the 1.2600 figure. In that outcome, the pair’s next support would be the November 27 daily low of 1.2564, followed by the November 26 low of 1.2506. On further weakness, the November 22 pivot low of 1.2486 is on the cards. Conversely, if GBP/USD finishes the week above 1.2700, this could pave the way for testing the 200-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) at 1.2818. However, buyers must clear the current week’s peak of 1.2749. Oscillators such as the Relative Strength Index (RSI) hint that buyers are gathering momentum, even though the RSI remains below its neutral line.

The History of Forex Trading: How It All Began Ever wondered how forex trading became the massive, 24/5 global market we know today? Here’s a quick look at its fascinating journey: 1️⃣ The Gold Standard Era (1870s–1930s) Forex trading originated when countries began linking their currencies to gold. This system created fixed exchange rates but collapsed during the Great Depression due to economic instability. 2️⃣ Bretton Woods Agreement (1944–1971) After World War II, nations agreed to peg their currencies to the US Dollar, which was backed by gold. This made the USD the world’s reserve currency and gave rise to modern foreign exchange systems. 3️⃣ Floating Exchange Rates (1971–Present) When the Bretton Woods system ended, currencies began to "float," meaning their values were determined by supply and demand in the market. This shift created today’s forex market, where traders speculate on fluctuating currency prices. 4️⃣ The Rise of Retail Forex (1990s–2000s) The advent of the internet and trading platforms like MetaTrader brought forex to individual traders. What was once reserved for banks and institutions became accessible to anyone with an internet connection. 5️⃣ Today’s $7.5 Trillion Market (2020s) Now, forex is the largest financial market in the world, with $7.5 trillion traded daily. Traders from every corner of the globe participate, using advanced tools and strategies to navigate this dynamic market. Forex has come a long way, and we’re part of its exciting evolution. What do you think the future holds for forex trading? AI tools? Crypto integration? Let me know in the comments!

GBPUSD - this closed above POC and we have 2 virgin impulse candles' VA that needs to be filled so based on just daily chart, it seems like price can go up to tag that VA and then drop down to POC. that will be my immediate bet. after that I will wait for price to settle down on either side of POC before making any decision. Origin - if we drop down to LTF and look at it, it seems like price is facing some resistance above from an older POC. if price moves up and holds above this nearest POC then I might see price moving all the way up to the HTF impulse VA.

GBP/USD: Bullish Bias and Strategic PositioningToday, I’m excited to share my analysis on the GBPUSD currency pair, which is currently showing a strong bullish bias. As we navigate through the market, I will be utilizing probabilities to strategically position myself for long trades. Current Market Dynamics The GBP/USD pair has recently shown resilience, bouncing off critical support levels around 1.2670. This rebound suggests a potential bullish reversal, driven by positive sentiment surrounding the UK economy. Key fundamentals such as the Bank of England's recent decisions to maintain interest rates amidst inflationary pressures signal confidence in economic stability, which supports our bullish outlook. Global Influences On the global stage, factors such as a weakening U.S. dollar and improving economic indicators from the UK create a favorable environment for the British Pound. Additionally, geopolitical developments are leaning towards stability, which typically boosts investor confidence in GBP. Trading Strategy In this context, I plan to leverage statistical probabilities to identify optimal entry points for long positions. By focusing on key technical indicators, I aim to maximize potential gains while effectively managing risk. Join me as we explore this exciting opportunity in GBP/USD! Let’s make informed trading decisions together and capitalize on this bullish momentum. Happy trading! 2W: 3H: P.S. If you have any questions about how I trade probabilities with the overall market direction, feel free to reach out.

GBP/USD: Relief Rally or Just a Pause Before the Next Drop?GBP/USD: Relief Rally or Just a Pause Before the Next Drop? GBP/USD has been locked in a prolonged downtrend, but recent price action shows signs of a relief rally to the upside. Could this mean the bears are finally running out of steam? Not so fast. While the bounce might be tempting for bulls, it’s essential to consider the bigger picture. The downside momentum isn’t entirely out of the equation just yet. Here’s why: Trend Analysis The long-term downtrend remains intact. Key resistance levels are looming, and the recent upward move might simply be a retracement within the broader bearish structure. Market Cycles Markets often move in cycles, and GBP/USD appears to still be in the middle of a downside cycle. Relief rallies like this are common before the next leg lower, catching overly eager buyers off guard. Fundamental Backdrop The GBP/USD pair is influenced by various factors, including UK economic data, US interest rate dynamics, and market sentiment. As of now, the fundamentals still favor the dollar, adding pressure to the pound. Trade Idea Short-Term Bulls: If you’re considering the upside, proceed with caution and manage your risk. Look for clear confirmation of strength above key resistance levels before committing to a bullish bias. Long-Term Bears: Stay patient. This relief rally could offer an excellent opportunity to short the pair at higher levels, aligning with the overall downtrend.
