long (buy) position on GBP/USDAscending Trendline: The most visible technical aspect is the upward sloping trendline. This indicates potential bullish momentum, suggesting the Pound is gaining strength against the Dollar. Traders often use trendlines to identify potential entry points in an ongoing trend. Support Level: The trader has placed the stop-loss (SL) just below a recent low point, indicating they are using this low as a support level. If the price breaks this support, it would invalidate the bullish view. Resistance Level: The take-profit (TP) is placed above recent high points, suggesting the trader is targeting a resistance level. If the price reaches this level, it would confirm the continuation of the uptrend. Risk-Reward Ratio: The distance between the entry and stop-loss compared to the distance between the entry and take-profit suggests the trader has calculated a favorable risk-reward ratio. Fundamental Economic Factors (Hypothetical): Positive UK Economic Data: If recent UK economic data (e.g., GDP, employment, inflation) has been stronger than expected, it could strengthen the Pound. Hawkish Bank of England (BoE): If the BoE has signaled a more aggressive stance on raising interest rates to combat inflation, it could attract investment to the Pound. Weak US Economic Data: Conversely, if recent US economic data has been weaker than expected, it could weaken the Dollar. Dovish Federal Reserve (Fed): If the Fed has signaled a more cautious approach to raising interest rates, it could put downward pressure on the Dollar. Market Sentiment: Overall market sentiment could be favoring the Pound due to factors like political stability or positive news flow. Interest Rate Differentials: If the interest rate differential between the UK and the US is widening in favor of the UK, it makes the Pound more attractive to carry traders. Considerations for Publication: Disclaimer: Always include a disclaimer that forex trading is risky and past performance is not indicative of future results. Chart Clarity: If publishing, ensure the chart is clear and easy to understand. Fundamental Context: Provide context for the fundamental factors that may have influenced the trade. Risk Management: Emphasize the importance of using stop-loss orders and managing risk. Educational Purpose: Frame the analysis as an educational example rather than a trading recommendation. Time Sensitivity: Forex markets are dynamic, so the analysis may become outdated quickly. Important Note: Without knowing the exact news and economic data at the time of the trade, this analysis is based on general assumptions. A thorough analysis would require looking at the specific economic calendar and news events at the time the trade was taken.

POTENTIAL SHORT TRADE SET UP FOR GBPUSDAnalysis: Utilizing chart patterns, highs & lows, and impulses & corrections, the focus is on identifying a continuation corrective structure following a breakout. Entry: The price approached the previous HTF swing high zone with an ascending structure on the mid time frame (MTF), forming a head and shoulder pattern at the peak of the ascending structure. Subsequently, the price broke below the mid time frame ascending structure, signaling a bearish shift, and formed another bearish continuation-like pattern. Expectation: A downward move is anticipated, targeting the base of the mid time frame (MTF) ascending structure. ⚠️ Reminder: Conduct your own analysis and implement proper risk management, as forex trading carries no guarantees. This is a high-risk endeavor, and past performance does not predict future outcomes. Trade responsibly!

Price is reaching support levels - Bulls are about to take over.Price is mainly driven by wedges, We have a falling wedge on the weekly chart which hasn't been broken yet and we also seem to have an ascending wedge on the daily chart, which price has broken out of without forming a proper correction, And we also have an ascending wedge on the hourly time frames initiating a correction towards the broken daily wedge. I am expecting a rejection when price reaches current support levels, which could push the price higher for a proper correction before falling long term.

GBP/USD Kicking Off March 2025 and Ending Q1Monthly View: The February monthly candle closed bullish, remaining within the Buy Side Imbalance (BISI) formed in November, which is still being respected. Liquidity was swept in January, indicating that price is still being magnetized towards the imbalance and the level of 1.2800. I anticipate that price might trade below the monthly close before making an upward move. Weekly View: The weekly candle closed bearish and tapped into a weekly BISI at 1.2560, where a reaction could occur. My main focus is on the daily Fair Value Gap (FVG) at 1.2550, which could act as the final support before targeting 1.2700 and possibly higher. Note that after recent meetings, the dollar strengthened, causing price to drop and leaving behind a daily sell-side inefficiency. I would like to see price fill this inefficiency before taking out liquidity at 1.2550 and 1.2800. Daily View: The daily FVG at 1.2550 is crucial and could be the final support level before targeting 1.2700 and potentially higher. 4-Hour View: There is a bearish FVG and liquidity at 1.2645, which might influence price movements. 1-Hour View: The 1-hour chart is heavily bearish and currently in a Sell Side Imbalance (SISI) that might drive the price lower at the open. I expect price to potentially take out 1.2550 and find support at 1.2530 before heading upwards. Keep an eye on upcoming news this week including nfp Key Levels to Watch: 1.2800 (monthly target) 1.2560 (weekly BISI) 1.2550 (daily FVG and potential support) 1.2645 (4-hour bearish FVG and liquidity) 1.2550 and 1.2530 (1-hour support levels)
