How far the GBPUSD can go??ICMARKETS:GBPUSD The UK has been feeling he inflation pressure for some time but lately it is showing some better results giving the BoE some time to decide a better approach in terms of the Interest Rate move. The UK growth is still low showing a possible recession risk. The US seems to be in a better position with the FED maintaining a tight policy with a constant eye on the inflation level but the Labor market data will dictate if there will be more pressure not on FED but in all related currencies. On the technical side if the 1.200sh resistance levels holds it could be a sign for further downward moves. The 1.2300 Support level maybe will hold this bearish sentiment showed not only for the far distance of the price to the EMA(21) but also for the RSI in the oversold region but expect a pullback(if a short one) in the next days before more bearish moves. But never forget the Fundamental News can change this picture.

GBPUSD SHORT BIASIn the saying of "the trend is your friend", it wouldn't be advisable to go against the downward plummeting of most major pairs right now. The only way you can make money is when you align yourself with the direction of the trend. There's a disturbing Counter Trendline view that is currently giving price movement some headache however, judging with the strength of the fall, there's a huge possibility the trendline doesn't hold. Retracement = Right Entry Patience = Retracement Therefore, Patience = Right Entry That's some logic I did there! Using the 50fib level of the FVG on the 4H, there should be a "Tap out" of the Breaker candle, in order to build maximum momentum for the break of the Counter Trendline, giving us a justified position into the Short trend of the market currently. The dollar ain't done in strength yet!

Is GBP/USD Set for a Further Rally? Let's have a look.The GBP/USD pair made a robust recovery at the beginning of the week, showcasing strength against its major competitors. This bounce-back comes after a notable decline on Friday, triggered by disappointing economic data. Specifically, the UK Retail Sales contracted at a faster-than-anticipated rate in October, and the flash S&P Global/CIPS Composite Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) for November fell below the critical 50.0 mark for the first time since October 2023. The primary factor contributing to the Pound Sterling's resurgence appears to be strong market sentiment regarding the Bank of England's (BoE) potential for a more measured approach to policy easing compared to other Western central banks. Notably, the currency is trading within a demand zone, suggesting the potential for upward movement. Additionally, the Commitment of Traders (COT) report indicates that retail sentiment is leaning bearish; however, similar to the EUR/USD, the opening gap might be filled, which could lead to a further decline in prices. A decline towards the 1.2400 level could present an attractive buying opportunity for those looking to acquire the Pound at a discount. Historical seasonality trends also indicate a likelihood for the GBP to appreciate in the near term. Nevertheless, I recommend waiting until Wednesday, following the release of the USD unemployment data, before making any trading decisions. Currently, my outlook remains bearish on the GBP/USD.

What A Way To End The Year As Well As The TrendOANDA:GBPUSD This has to be the best idea am dropping hear on trading view so far, because of it's risk to reward ratio, which is over 1:10, highly rewarding. And it just looks unassuming 🤦‍♂️😎 Lets analyze, looking at the 1D timeframe, a more responsible timeframe to look out to in a Daily or intra day trade of a bearish currency pair (GBPUSD), the last two long red candlesticks evolves from the last created resistance zone, leaving those fair value gaps behind, and as well as unmitigated. When the fair value gap is filled to the immediate supply or resistance zone by the buyers, as we can currently see them riding on the pullback, we expect to market to drastically continue the trend, thereby making us a new lower low. In other words, a lower timeframe is required to see clearly the structures produced by the sellers, ofwhich placing your entry on the last created and unmitigated structure, and your stop loss slightly above it's lower high minimizes your risk and maximizes the return. An instance on the 30Min timeframe of GBPUSD, same timeframe where the liquidity is clearly visible as well, when the pullback breaks through the trend line(liquidity) into the demand zone, the downtrend just irresistibly continues until it makes a new lower low. Remember if you can't see the liquidity, then you're the liquidity. Peace 🕊️💯

Your Real Chances of Succeeding as a Forex TraderYou’ve probably heard the claim that 95% of traders fail to make money in the markets. This statement is repeated endlessly across the internet, creating fear and doubt for many aspiring traders. However, this widely circulated myth is not backed by solid evidence or reliable statistics. In reality, it’s a generalized assumption based on flawed logic that discourages new traders from reaching their full potential. Let’s unpack this myth and explore your real chances of succeeding as a Forex trader with a logical, evidence-based discussion. By the end of this, you’ll feel more confident and ready to approach trading with the right mindset. Understanding Success in Forex Trading A critical question for any trader is: What are the chances of making consistent profits in Forex without being a full-time professional? It’s important to recognize that while some traders lose money, others consistently make profits. Consistency over the long term is what separates successful traders from the rest. However, being a “professional” trader is not a prerequisite for success. The myth that “95% of traders fail” doesn’t mean 95% never make money. Many traders are profitable part-time, focusing on steady growth rather than aiming for professional status right away. Focus on Realistic Goals One of the biggest mistakes new traders make is trying to become professional traders too quickly. This approach often leads to overtrading, excessive risk-taking, and emotional decision-making. Instead, your initial goal should be to make consistent profits on a monthly basis. Start by aiming for profitability each month. Once you achieve this, you can gradually raise your targets—weekly profitability, then scaling up your account and trading frequency. This progression not only builds your skills but also instills the discipline required for long-term success. Why Realistic Expectations Improve Your Trading Setting achievable goals gives you an emotional advantage. By not pressuring yourself to become a professional immediately, you reduce the likelihood of over-leveraging or overtrading. Without the emotional burden of relying on trading as your sole income source, you can focus on refining your strategies and improving your decision-making. When you detach emotionally from your trades and manage risk effectively, you put yourself in a better position to succeed. In fact, statistics show that the percentage of traders who make consistent monthly profits is likely closer to 20-30%, far higher than the often-cited 5%. The Power of Risk-Reward and Strategy To succeed in Forex trading, you need to understand risk-reward ratios and develop a high-probability trading edge. Let’s break this down: Risk-Reward Ratios A 1:1 risk-reward ratio requires a 50% win rate to break even. A 1:2 ratio only requires a 33% win rate to break even. A 1:3 ratio allows you to break even with just a 25% win rate. The higher your risk-reward ratio, the fewer trades you need to win to stay profitable. This highlights the importance of letting your winning trades outpace your losing ones. High-Probability Trading Edge A sound strategy, like price action trading, increases your chances of making profitable trades. Random entries will likely result in break-even performance, but combining a solid strategy with effective risk-reward management shifts the odds in your favor. Steps to Improve Your Odds of Success To increase your chances of becoming a successful trader: Master Risk Management: Understand how to manage your capital effectively to minimize losses. Learn a Proven Strategy: Focus on mastering a high-probability trading strategy, such as price action. Set Realistic Goals: Aim for consistent monthly profits rather than rushing to become a professional. Trade Part-Time First: Start small and trade part-time. Over time, scale up as your skills and account balance grow. Focus on Quality, Not Quantity: Trade less but aim for higher-quality setups. Final Thoughts Becoming a profitable trader is not unattainable. By setting realistic goals and avoiding the pressure to go full-time too quickly, you greatly increase your chances of success. Start by mastering a strategy like price action trading and combine it with disciplined money management. Success in Forex trading comes from within—it’s about controlling emotions, managing risks, and having a solid plan. If you focus on trading part-time with consistency, you’ll be surprised at how quickly your trading can turn profitable. Take it step by step, and remember: the journey to success in Forex trading is a marathon, not a sprint.

#012 DCA GBPUSD SellI took positions in two different products. First, the CADCHF and second, the GBPUSD. I have no idea if they are correlated in anyway. I took the two products because they do not have the same currency. On the 1H Time Frame, it is clear that price is retracing back to the 60SMA. I do not actively seek for such confluences, but rather, if they occur, I take note of it. We shall see what would happen next. 1135SGT 25112024 If price goes against our intended direction, then there's the limit sell order for drawdown recovery. If price goes beyond the 1st Sell Limit, then we will see how we could at least breakeven. 1136SGT 25112024

GBP/USD: Downtrend Holds Firm, Key Support in SightThe GBP/USD pair is trading around 1.2557, maintaining its downward trajectory as it fails to reclaim the resistance level at 1.2592. The pair continues to face selling pressure, with the prevailing downtrend keeping momentum in favor of the bears. Immediate focus now shifts to the critical support zone near 1.2500, where some temporary buying interest may emerge. However, a break below this level could pave the way for further declines toward 1.2450, with the broader target potentially at 1.2400. Any short-term pullbacks into the resistance range of 1.2592–1.2650 are expected to attract renewed selling pressure. The 50-period moving average also reinforces this zone as a significant barrier to any bullish attempts. With bearish momentum firmly in control, GBP/USD presents opportunities for sellers to capitalize on short positions while monitoring for key breakouts below the 1.2500 support level.
