GBPUSD trade ideas
GBPUSD BULLISH OR BEARISH DETAILED ANALYSISGBPUSD has played out exactly as forecasted, completing a clean bullish leg from the Fibonacci confluence zones and breaking through the key 1.3430 resistance level. The structure remains strongly bullish, and after this minor retest, I’m anticipating another impulsive wave to the upside, with the next target sitting firmly at the 1.3900 level. The pair continues to respect both structure and momentum, showing consistent demand on dips.
Fundamentally, the British pound continues to gain strength backed by sticky inflation data and hawkish tone from the Bank of England. With UK CPI remaining elevated and core services inflation running hot, the BoE is being forced to hold its tightening bias. This contrasts sharply with the Federal Reserve, where recent data shows signs of softening labor markets and cooling price pressure, bringing rate cut expectations back on the table for the second half of 2025.
Technically, GBPUSD has cleanly respected all key fib levels from the previous correction. The breakout above 1.3430 has flipped structure into bullish continuation, and the market has already begun forming higher highs and higher lows on both daily and 4H timeframes. As long as price holds above the 1.3430–1.3450 retest zone, the bullish outlook remains intact with high-probability momentum toward 1.3900.
In current market sentiment, GBPUSD remains one of the strongest trending pairs, with institutions adding to long exposure as the dollar index weakens. As a professional trader, I remain long-biased and look to scale in on lower timeframe retracements. This is a textbook continuation play backed by both technicals and macro momentum. Let the trend work—bulls remain in full control.
Pound Tops $1.357 on Solid DataGBP/USD advanced above $1.357, hitting its highest level since February 2022, as Trump’s delay of the 50% EU tariff boosted global sentiment. The pound also gained from promising April data, with retail sales rising 1.2%, marking the fourth monthly gain. Inflation stayed high at 3.5%, adding uncertainty over the BoE’s next move. Markets now price in a 50% chance of a rate cut by August, with another possible by year-end.
Support lies at 1.3425, with resistance at 1.3600. Other key levels are 1.3850 and 1.3750 above, and 1.3165 and 1.2890 below.
GBPUSD SHORT IDEAGBPUSD has been rally up for a while. Currently, there's a divergence signal from the awesome oscillator on the daily timeframe. Switching to 4 hours timeframe, there's a clearer view of what's going on. Based on the 4 hours chart, rising wedge has been formed and there's also a bearish divergence signal from the awesome oscillator. In addition to these, price has mitigated a daily supply zone after taking out a significant high as a liquidity. Then, a bearish engulfing candlestick was formed, signifying potential reversal. On 1 hour timeframe, price has broken out of a rising wedge and retested it.
As a retail trader, one can enter a short position after the bearish engulfing candlestick confirmation. This aligns with the 1 hour breakout and retest. While one can wait for price to break out of the 4 hours rising wedge.
As a smart money trader, one can wait for a change of character and break of structure on the 4 hours timeframe to confirm that price has really changed its trend ready for a reversal.
Either way, one can take advantage of the potential short opportunity on GBPUSD.
Confluences for the short signal:
1. Bearish divergence signal from awesome oscillator on daily and 4 hours timeframe.
2. Rising wedge on 4 hours timeframe.
3. Price mitigating daily supply zone.
4. Price has taken out a significant high as a liquidity.
5. Bearish engulfing candlestick formation on 4 hours timeframe.
Disclaimer: This is not a financial advice. The outcome maybe different from the projection. If you can't accept the risk, don't take the signal.
GBP/USD – Rejection at Key Supply Zone | Bearish Momentum The GBP/USD pair just got rejected from a strong supply zone at 1.3575, which has acted as resistance several times. After tapping this zone, we've seen a clear shift in momentum, with price breaking below the immediate structure.
Key Levels:
Resistance Zone: 1.3575 (Supply)
Mid-Level Support: 1.3465 – price could retest this as the next key decision area.
Major Demand Zone: 1.3346 – previously respected with strong bullish reaction.
Trade Idea:
If price fails to reclaim the 1.3575 zone, we could see a deeper retracement:
Short Setup Trigger: Break and retest below 1.3540
Target 1: 1.3465 (structure support)
Target 2: 1.3346 (major demand)
Fundamentals to Watch:
US Dollar events (highlighted on the chart) could add volatility—stay sharp during news releases.
Be mindful of liquidity grabs and fakeouts around these zones.
Bias:
Short-term bearish as long as price stays below 1.3575. Look for entries on lower timeframe confirmations.

GBPUSD SHORTFollowing on from my idea I posted on May 14th.
GBPUSD Short aiming for the demand zone at 1.28000
We've had a break of structure to the downside on the 1H chart at 8:00am BST inside a clear 1D supply zone.
There is still the risk of EQL high liquidity that could send this trade past my stop loss but there is a big rejection candle on the 1H which broke the structure to the downside.
First demand zone to tackle would be the zone at 1.34400 but if this gets blown through there is a lot of open price action back down to 1.28

Market Flow Strategy

GBPUSD Trade IdeaThe GBPUSD pair is showing a strong bullish trend on the 4-hour chart. However, the price currently looks overextended. This suggests the market may be due for a corrective pullback.
I’m watching for a pullback into a discounted zone near the fair value gap.
If the price moves back into this zone, I’ll look for a bullish break of market structure as a signal to enter long.
This plan emphasizes patience and the importance of waiting for a favorable entry rather than chasing an extended move. As always, this is my personal strategy and not financial advice. Proper risk management and discretion are essential.

GBPUSD COT and Liquidity AnalysisHey what up traders welcome to the COT data and Liquidity report. It's always good to go with those who move the market here is what I see in their cards. I share my COT - order flow views every weekend.
🎯 Longs and shorts decreasing but overal maintained bullish exposure 58% which is not much but seems to me like Key level will be reached..
📍Please be aware that institutions report data to the SEC on Tuesdays and data are reported on Fridays - so again we as retail traders have disadvantage, but there is possibility to read between the lines. Remember in the report is what they want you to see, that's why mostly price reverse on Wednesday after the report so their cards are hidden as long as possible. However if the trend is running you can read it and use for your advantage.
💊 Tip
if the level has confluence with the high volume on COT it can be strong support / Resistance.

GBP/USD Weekly zone!The price is currently located at a strong weekly zone, where sellers have their stop-losses placed above it, and buyers have pending buy orders just above the same level.
This creates a high probability that big players will push the price above the zone to trigger the stop-losses of sellers and activate the buy positions of those waiting to enter long.
What almost always happens next is the following:
The price then drops back below the zone, taking out the buyers as well.
That’s why at strong zones on higher timeframes, a false breakout is often expected.
GBPUSD⏳ WAIT TO SELL – GBP/USD
📉 We're watching GBP/USD closely for a sell opportunity, but it’s not the right time yet.
🧠 Be patient and let price action come to our zone of interest before entering.
💡 This setup requires confirmation — avoid jumping in prematurely.

GBP/USD - POTENTIAL RETRACEMENT SETUP (15 MIN CHART)Market Structure :
Price made a strong bullish move and is now showing signs of a retracement from a clear supply zone around the recent highs. The impulsive leg is being respected, and the market has started pulling back from the top.
Key Technical Points:
Supply Zone marked where price reversed aggressively.
Fibonacci retracement levels drawn from the swing low to the swing high.
Price currently sitting between the 38.2% and 50% retracement zone.
The 61.8% - 78.6% zone, along with ascending trendline support (in orange), creates a confluence area for a possible bullish reaction.
Two potential entry zones are highlighted:
1. Near the trendline and fib golden zone
2. Deeper retracement near OB demand zone and the 78.6% level.
Bias:
Bullish continuation if price respects the trendline and demand zones. Waiting for confirmations like bullish engulfing or break of structure from lower timeframes before entry.
Risk Management:
SL below demand zone. TP targeting retest of supply zone or potential breakout depending on momentum
GBP/USD manipulation going on right now ??gbpusd had a good rise the last few weeks/months, now its time to pay attention.
the price is now ranging,. let me tell you what i think.
a little bit higher there is a imbalance in the chart. for me and many others thats a reason to short.
why do i think manipulation is going on?
for the big people in order to go short they need to attract buyers, so how do they do that? they go long, they build up long orders to attract more buyers so the price doesnt go down and the shorts can get filled. thats what happening right now in my opinion. (i can be wrong)
also the rsi is overbought (indicating downside could come )
in my opinion the price will be ranging for a week of 2, after that is wil go a bit higher to eventually come down big time , (like 5% or more)
here is the setup i will take.
no financial advice, just my thoughts
