GBP/USD About to Explode?GBP/USD is currently trading around the 1.3360–1.3380 zone after testing the key weekly resistance area between 1.3400 and 1.3450. The bullish momentum remains strong, supported by speculative positioning still favoring the pound, while the dollar shows signs of softening. On the macro side, the interest rate differential between the UK and the US may narrow in the coming months, but for now, it continues to support upward pressure on the pair. From a technical standpoint, price has broken out of an ascending triangle on the daily chart, showing strong momentum and confirmation with multiple closes above 1.3300. Market sentiment remains skewed to the short side, adding contrarian fuel to the bullish bias. The key short-term support lies between 1.3270 and 1.3300. As long as this area holds, the base case favors a continuation toward 1.3520 and potentially 1.3600. A break below 1.3170 would invalidate the current bullish structure and open the door for a deeper pullback toward 1.3000. From an execution standpoint, a confirmed breakout above 1.3415 could offer a long entry opportunity with active management. Still, caution is advised around the weekly supply zone due to its historical responsiveness. Eyes remain on upcoming macro data and potential volatility from central bank statements.

"GBPUSD Ready for the Kill After Premium Zone Reaction!"⚡ GBPUSD Analysis - 1H Timeframe | April 28, 2025 📈 What's Happening: GBPUSD just tapped deep into the Premium Zone while simultaneously reacting off a clean Fair Value Gap (FVG). Signs of bearish rejection are stacking up — Smart Money might be preparing for the kill shot! 🎯 🚨 Key Levels Highlighted: Strong High = Major invalidation (~1.34317). Premium Zone = Where sellers ideally step in. Fair Value Gap (FVG) = Where price imbalance triggered a reaction. Weak Low = Major liquidity target (~1.32036). 🧠 Key Observations: Price filled the FVG and immediately showed a reaction = sign of Smart Money stepping in. Strong High untouched = still valid for bearish play. Weak Low + Sell Side Liquidity = magnets below. 🎯 2-SCENARIO PLAN: Plan A — Short Setup (Primary Bias): ✅ Look for bearish confirmation via M15 or M5 structure shift. ✅ Ideal entry around Premium/FVG zone. ✅ TP1 = Minor structure lows around 1.33000. TP2 = Full Weak Low sweep (~1.32036). ✅ SL = Above Strong High (~1.34317). Plan B — Invalidated if: ✅ Strong High is broken impulsively = setup failed. No chasing! 📊 Risk Management Tip: "Fair Value Gap reactions inside Premium = sniper-level setups. Focus on confirmations, not assumptions." 🧘‍♂️ Summary: ✅ Premium Tap ✅ FVG Fill ✅ Bearish Reaction ✅ Weak Low Target Patience = Power. This could be the sniper setup you've been waiting for! 🔥 ➡️ Save this playbook. ➡️ Comment "SNIPE THE GAP" if you're setting the trap! 🎯

GBP/USD bullish run still going?This week’s analysis for GU is centred around the current pro-trend momentum and where we could see potential entries to continue riding it. To begin with, there’s a refined 3D supply zone located at a premium level which could cause a short-term bearish reaction. I’ll be monitoring this area for any possible short setups — but only with strong confirmation. However, the overall structure remains predominantly bullish, as shown by a series of higher highs and higher lows, along with significant breaks of structure. The most relevant point of interest for a bullish continuation sits around the 1.34200 level, where a clean 9H demand zone resides. This is where I’ll be looking to enter long positions if price retraces to that area. Confluences for GU Buys: - Clear formation of higher highs and higher lows, confirming bullish structure - Strong 9H demand zone that initiated the recent break of structure - Liquidity above still yet to be cleared - DXY remains bearish, supporting continued bullish momentum on GBP/USD P.S. Don’t get too caught up chasing countertrend moves. The real edge lies in identifying the nearest POI that aligns with the overall trend and waiting for your setup to unfold there.

GBPUSD: Weekly overviewThe indicated levels are determined based on the most reaction points and the assumption of approximately equal distance between the zones. These points can also be confirmed by the mathematical intervals of Murray. After reacting to the following zones, you can enter the trade. Place the stop loss slightly above/below the zone to which the reaction was shown. The profit point is the next zone. The drawn channels and their medians can also be considered as moving support and resistance. I usually use them as target points. * I don't trade the white zone (1.32190), the channel borders and median are so close to it and any breaks below it does not necessarily mean a potential continue in the break direction. My most important zone is the blue one (1.34291). I'm more ready to take short from it. however, the long option is possible if confirmed. This analysis is valid until the end of the week. ************************************** Important news that could change the direction of the trade: Wednesday: Britain CPI

GBPUSD - Longs - Fundamental Analysis My trade idea for GBPUSD: DXY (USD) News: On 2nd April 2025, US president Donald Trump announced tariffs of 10% on most imports and up to 145% on Chinese goods. This has led to significant market volatility. Investors are increasingly concerned about the U.S.'s economic direction, prompting a shift away from dollar-denominated assets. This sentiment has been exacerbated by fears of a potential recession, as highlighted by JPMorgan Chase's forecast. Major foreign investors, including those from China and Japan, are reportedly reducing their holdings in U.S. Treasury bonds. This retreat diminishes demand for the dollar, contributing to its depreciation. ​ Conclusion: We can expect a further decline in DXY price. Possible opportunity to long XXX/USD pairs. BXY (GBP) News: The UK economy grew by a faster-than-expected 0.5% in February, official figures showed. Conclusion: With US placing tariffs globally, we can expect USD weakness over the next 2-3 weeks. GBP holds its ground with strong economic figures from Q1. My trade position: Between 14 - 18 Apr, I will be monitoring price action. Looking to buy below 1.32 with the first target being 1.35. 1.29 offers strong support.

GBP/USD 1.3500 Test, Weekly OverboughtGBP/USD has just done something that hasn't happened in three years, trading above the 1.3500 level. The last time this happened in the pair was before the Federal Reserve began the rate hike campaign in 2022, and over the past four months its been a strong reversal of more than 1,400 pips as USD bears have taken back over. At this point weekly RSI is showing in overbought territory which makes the prospect of chasing the pair higher, particularly after the first test of a major psychological level, as a more complicated endeavor. This doesn't rule out shorter-term momentum or trend strategies, however, and given the amount of resistance that had showed at the Fibonacci level of 1.3414, there's a very attractive spot for higher-low support to show. That level held the highs last year, and then again in April. - js

GBPUSD Wave Analysis – 23 May 2025 - GBPUSD broke multi-month resistance level 1.3430 - Likely to rise to resistance level 1.3600 GBPUSD currency pair recently broke above the key multi-month resistance level 1.3430, which stopped the previous sharp daily uptrends in September and April. The breakout of the resistance level 1.3430 should accelerate the active impulse wave 5 from the start of May. Given the clear daily uptrend and strongly bearish US dollar sentiment seen today, GBPUSD currency pair can be expected to rise to the next resistance level 1.3600 (the target for the completion of the active impulse wave 5).

price action has been steadily climbing, indicating that bulls!GBP/USD Technical Analysi s – Bullish Momentum Building The GBP/USD pair is currently showing signs of bullish strength, having recently rebounded from a 1-hour Bullish Fair Value Gap (FVG), which has acted as a strong support zone. This technical reaction suggests increased buying interest and provides a short-term bullish bias in the market. Following the rejection from the FVG, price action has been steadily climbing, indicating that bulls are gaining control. Market structure on the 1-hour timeframe remains intact with higher highs and higher lows, further supporting the bullish narrative. Additionally, volume analysis and momentum indicators are beginning to align with the current upward move, suggesting that there may be room for continuation. However, to confirm sustained bullish momentum, it is essential to monitor key resistance levels ahead. The next immediate resistance lies near , which has historically acted as a decision point for the market. A clean breakout and close above this level on increased volume would serve as strong confirmation for a further upside move, potentially targeting . Conversely, traders should remain cautious of any signs of weakness or bearish divergence forming near resistance areas. Should the pair fail to break higher and instead reverse, a revisit of the bullish FVG could occur, potentially offering another entry opportunity for buyers. In summary, the GBP/USD pair is displaying bullish intent in the short term, but confirmation from higher timeframes and key levels will be critical before committing to a directional bias. Maintain a balanced outlook and adapt to the evolving price action.

British Pound resumes rally as retail sales jumpThe British pound has posted gains on Friday. In the European session, GBP/USD is trading at 1.3484, up 0.49% on the day. The pound has gained 1.5% this week and is trading at levels not seen since Feb. 2022. The markets were expecting a banner reading from April retail sales but the actual numbers crushed the forecast. Annual retail sales surged 5%, up from a downwardly revised 1.9% and above the market estimate of 4.5%. This marked the fastest pace of growth since Feb. 2022. Monthly, retail sales climbed 1.2%, up from a downwardly revised 0.3% in March and blowing past the market estimate of 0.2%. The surge was driven by sharp gains in food store sales and department stores, as favorable weather brought out consumers. The UK economy has been struggling and strong consumer spending has been a bright spot. Monthly retail sales have now increased for four straight months, which last occurred in 2020. The UK consumer spending more and is showing more optimism. The GfK consumer confidence index for May improved to -20 from -23 and beat the market estimate of -22. The improvement is likely a result of the de-escalation in global trade tensions as well as the Bank of England rate cut in early May. The impressive retail sales report, together with higher-than-expected inflation in April will raise expectations for the BoE to hold rates at its next meeting on June 18. There are no key US releases today but we'll hear from three FOMC members. There has been plenty of Fedspeak this week, with a message that the US tariffs will take a toll on the US economy, even with the temporary deal with China, and that the Fed favors a wait-and-see stance before further rate cuts. GBP/USD has broken above several resistance lines and is putting pressure in resistance at 1.3493. There is support at 1.3393 and 1.3367
