GBPUSD trade ideas

GBPUSD holds 1.23 and prepares to jump? Hello All! The GBP/USD pair is clinging to 1.23 like a cat to a warm laptop. If nothing shakes it loose, there’s a high chance it will crawl up to the 1.239–1.244 area. But don’t get too excited—this is where the pair will face a veteran resistance level, the 200-period moving average on the 4-hour chart, and the upper boundary of the H4 downtrend. In other words, a whole party of obstacles is waiting to greet it. So, it might be a good idea to lock in profits at this point. However, if the pair suddenly decides to flex its muscles and break out of the local parallel channel, consolidating above the 4-hour moving average, it could make a daring leap toward the next resistance level at 1.26. And yes, this might happen without much of a correction—like skipping leg day at the gym. Stop-loss? Safely below the 1.23 level—because no one likes unpleasant surprises!

Pound Awaits Direction Ahead of PMI DataMacro: The pound weakened due to the absence of significant economic data as markets look for new catalysts. Today's movement is expected to align with dollar trends while traders focus on tomorrow's S&P Global PMI releases. UK and US Jan PMI figures are anticipated to show mixed results, with services slowing and manufacturing rebounding. Technical: - GBPUSD failed to break above its resistance of 1.2320/70, coinciding with EMA21. The price is below both EMAs, indicating that downward momentum persists. - If GBPUSD remains below 1.2320, the price could shrink to its next support of 1.1940.  - Conversely, staying above 1.2320/70 may prompt a retest at its nearby resistance 2520.

GU Long opportunityFollowing a strong daily close above the resistance level, a buy-side imbalance and sell-side inefficiency(FVG) have been observed on the 4 hour chart. 1. As long as the price holds above the flipped resistance-turned-support level, the likelihood of a breakout above the trendline increases. 2. A successful breakout could propel the price towards higher resistance levels, as marked on the chart.

"GBP/USD Resistance Test with Potential Bearish Reversal Setup"Based on the chart: 1. **Resistance Zone**: The price has reached a strong resistance level around 1.2400–1.2450. This area could act as a barrier for further upward movement. 2. **Trendline Support**: There’s a clear upward trendline acting as dynamic support, indicating a bullish structure overall. 3. **Bearish Confirmation**: The chart suggests waiting for bearish confirmation before entering a short position. Signs could include a reversal candlestick pattern, a breakdown of a lower timeframe support, or momentum shifting downward. 4. **Potential Move**: If bearish confirmation occurs, a retracement toward the trendline near 1.2200–1.2250 could be expected. This setup favors patience, as entering without confirmation might expose trades to unnecessary risk if the resistance breaks.

GBP/USD Recovery Tests Potential Resistance LevelChart Analysis: GBP/USD has rebounded strongly, approaching the critical resistance at 1.2500, a level that has served as support-turned-resistance in prior sessions. 1️⃣ Key Resistance Level: The horizontal level at 1.2500 is a key inflection point, with a breakout above it potentially signaling further upside momentum. Rejection at this level may see the pair revert lower toward support near 1.2400. 2️⃣ Moving Averages: 50-day SMA (blue): Positioned at 1.2523, aligning with the resistance zone, increasing its significance. 200-day SMA (red): Trending downward at 1.2790, reflecting the longer-term bearish bias. 3️⃣ Momentum Indicators: RSI: Recovering to 54.67, showing improving bullish momentum but still below overbought territory. MACD: Shows a bullish crossover, suggesting upward momentum may continue in the near term. What to Watch: A daily close above 1.2500 would reinforce bullish sentiment and open the path toward higher resistance levels. A rejection at 1.2500 could lead to renewed selling pressure and a potential test of recent lows. Monitor momentum indicators for confirmation of either a breakout or a reversal. GBP/USD is at a critical juncture, with 1.2500 acting as the line in the sand for the next directional move. -MW

GBPUSD trade idea 19/01 to 25/1 long position on pull backThis week, the major news revolves around Trump and his actions upon taking office. Expect high volatility and erratic movements. For this week's trade idea, we need to wait for a pullback to the previous support level at 1.213 and enter a buy when we get confirmation. We are targeting the previous daily high at 1.23500, but remember to take partials and secure profit along the way. This trade is based on higher time frame analysis, support and resistance levels, and trend lines. As mentioned above, be cautious this week. Don't get trapped and use proper risk management. I'll update this as the week progresses.
