GBPUSD: Bearish After Opening 🇬🇧🇺🇸 There is a high chance that GBPUSD will drop after the market opening. I see a strong bearish confirmation after a test of a recently broken trend line. The price formed a head & shoulders pattern and violated its neckline on an hourly time frame. Goal - 1.3425 ❤️Please, support my work with like, thank you!❤️ I am part of Trade Nation's Influencer program and receive a monthly fee for using their TradingView charts in my analysis.

Four Ways to Improve Focus When Trading“Execution is everything.” It’s a phrase you’ll hear time and again in trading circles, and for good reason. Having a solid strategy is important, but it means very little if you can’t stay focused enough to follow through. One moment of hesitation, one distracted click, and the edge you worked so hard to find can vanish in an instant. Focus is the gateway to execution. Without it, even the best setups fall apart. Yet in a world of constant noise with live charts, endless alerts, social media and background distractions it’s never been harder to stay present and in control. Here are four ways to improve your focus while trading. Two are grounded and practical. Two are a bit more unconventional. All of them can help you sharpen your focus where it really counts in the moment of decision. 1. Start with a Written Game Plan This is the foundation. Before you even open your trading platform, write down your trade ideas, key levels, and any news or events that could impact your market. It doesn’t have to be elaborate. A simple list of “if this, then that” scenarios is enough. By putting your plan on paper, you free up mental space and reduce emotional interference. You’re no longer reacting to every tick or candle. You’re tracking a few clear ideas and waiting for price to confirm your bias. That alone can dramatically improve focus. When your brain knows the plan, it doesn’t need to make it up on the fly. More importantly, a written plan acts as an anchor when the session heats up. If you get shaken by a false breakout or tempted by something that wasn’t in your prep, it’s easy to refer back and reset. The best traders are those who execute simple ideas with discipline, not those who chase every signal that flashes across the screen. 2. Silence the Noise Around You Multitasking is the enemy of trading. One browser tab for news, another for Twitter, five charts open, notifications popping up on your phone it all adds up to mental chaos. Clean up your digital workspace before you start trading. Close all tabs that aren’t directly relevant to your session. Mute group chats. Set your phone to silent and put it face down, or better yet, in a drawer. Keep your trading screen as clean as possible. Use one or two key charts. Turn off indicators you don’t need. If you trade in a noisy household or shared office space, noise-cancelling headphones can be a game changer. Some traders even use ambient sound apps like brain.fm or simple white noise to drown out distractions and stay locked in. A quiet mind is a focused mind. 3. Stand Up Before You Enter a Trade Here’s something a little unorthodox, but surprisingly effective. Before you click the buy or sell button, physically stand up. This small physical action creates a moment of separation between your thinking and your doing. It forces you to pause, breathe, and check in with yourself. Am I acting on plan or emotion? Is this trade aligned with my prep, or am I forcing it out of boredom? We’ve all taken impulsive trades, only to regret them seconds later. Standing up adds a layer of intentionality. It breaks the rhythm of screen-staring and puts your brain back in the driver’s seat. Think of it as your personal circuit breaker. It gives you a chance to double-check your logic and stops you from slipping into autopilot mode. Some traders even take it a step further and stretch or roll their shoulders before re-engaging with the screen. It might sound silly, but the effect on your mindset is real. 4. Use a ‘Focus Trigger’ to Prime Your Brain Our brains love routines. You can use that to your advantage by building a simple ritual that tells your mind, “It’s time to trade.” This doesn’t have to be anything elaborate. It might be playing a song you only use when trading or doing a brief breathing exercise. Some traders even use the act of cleaning their desk or making a fresh cup of coffee as a cue to shift into a focused state. Over time, these small rituals become associated with mental readiness. They condition your brain to transition from passive scrolling or chatting into active concentration. That’s powerful, especially on days when you’re feeling a bit foggy or distracted. The goal isn’t to create a superstition. It’s to build a reliable on-ramp into a focused headspace something that centres you and sets the tone for your session.

Cable looking for a new high with Ending DiagonalCable found some support in the last 24 hours and it looks like we may still see a retest of the high, so apparently this 5th wave is still in progress but unfolding with an ending diagonal with subwave five on the way up to 1.37–1.38, which could be the key resistance for this reversal pattern. So despite some recovery that is happening right now, we still think that the impulse from January is in late stages, which is also confirmed by divergence on the RSI and overlapping price action that clearly suggests that bulls are losing strength up here.

GBPUSD Price Action Analysis | Sell Setup Below 1.36106In this GBPUSD market overview, we break down recent price action following yesterday’s strong bullish rally from the momentum low. The session was highly emotional across major forex pairs, which is typical when a major wave structure reaches its end. This often results from incomplete auctions on one side of the market, causing order flow imbalances that drive sharp price movements. The key price level we're watching on GBPUSD is 1.36326. Price approached this zone with momentum, and the rejection at 1.36267 triggered a classic TCP (Trend Changing Pattern), followed by a single upside break, confirming exhaustion at the highs. 📉 Sell Setup: According to the Waves of Success execution model, the best short entry is below 1.36106, in alignment with the prevailing bearish structure. ⚠️ Alternative Scenario: We are not looking for long setups on GBPUSD at this time — our bias remains bearish unless significant structure changes occur. This analysis combines wave structure, trend confirmation patterns, and institutional price levels for a professional, risk-managed approach. 🔑 Key Levels: Resistance: 1.36326 Rejection High: 1.36267 Sell Trigger: 1.36106

GBP/USD Breakout Done , Best Place To Get 150 Pips Clear !Here is my opinion on GBP/USD On 2H T.F , We have a very good breakout now clear not as the old one and we have a very good bearish price action , so i think it will be a good entry if the price go back to retest my res with the news today and give us a good touch and go to downside , and also we might see a random move and fake wicks to take all stop losses before going down or even back to upside so be careful today and use a good risk , i`m waiting the price to back to retest the broken support and new res and then i will enter a sell trade with a very small lot size .

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). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ** Please LIKE 👍, FOLLOW ✅, SHARE 🙌 and COMMENT ✍ if you enjoy this idea!

GBP/USD Potential Bullish ReversalGBP/USD Potential Bullish Reversal 📈🦾 📊 Technical Analysis Overview: The chart showcases a well-defined horizontal range between the support (~1.31900) and resistance (~1.36200) zones. The price action has respected these levels multiple times, forming a clear accumulation zone at the bottom and rejection at the top. 🔄 Pattern Formation: A Rounded Bottom (Cup) structure is visible forming from the June low. The price made a bullish bounce near the key support level at 1.33930, marked by an orange circle, suggesting a potential higher low formation. The blue downtrend line from the recent high (red arrow) has been broken, indicating a trend reversal attempt. 📍 Current Price: 1.34494 🎯 Target Zone: 1.35734 🛑 Support to Watch: 1.33930 📈 Bullish Confirmation: A break above the minor neckline (around current price) would confirm a cup & handle breakout with a projected target of 1.35734. Strong buying pressure and higher lows are reinforcing bullish strength. ⚠️ Risk Management Tip: A breakdown below 1.33930 would invalidate the bullish setup and could retest the major support zone (~1.31900). ✅ Bias: Bullish, unless price closes below 1.33930 🕒 Outlook: Short- to Mid-term Upside Potential

GBPUSD 1H | Bearish Divergence GBPUSD has reached a critical technical zone where multiple confluences are signaling a downside correction: ✅ Bearish Divergence spotted on RSI at the top, indicating momentum exhaustion. ✅ Price got rejected from a strong Daily Supply Zone, showing clear institutional selling pressure. ✅ On the LTF (Lower Timeframe), structure has shifted — new Lower Highs (LH) and Lower Lows (LL) are now printing, confirming a short-term bearish trend change. ✅ Price also broke the LTF trendline and is retesting, adding further bearish confluence. 📊 Bias: Expecting a corrective move to the downside with targets around previous liquidity zones: ⚠️ Market is still sensitive to USD fundamentals this week, so watch key news events for volatility spikes. 🔔 Wait for proper confirmations and manage risk accordingly.
