GBP/USD Poised for a Bearish BreakoutThe GBP/USD pair is navigating within a rising channel, currently trading around 1.2655. Despite its attempts to maintain bullish momentum, the chart suggests a weakening trend. Key resistance levels near 1.2670 have acted as barriers, with price rejections forming at these highs, as indicated by the red arrows. The moving averages (EMA) reinforce the downside scenario, as price action struggles to stay above the mid-line of the channel. A failure to hold above 1.2650 could pave the way for a deeper correction. If a bearish breakout occurs, the next significant support lies near 1.2550. For traders, watch for price action near the channel’s lower boundary. A break below this zone might confirm a shift in sentiment, targeting further downside. The overall outlook remains bearish unless the pair decisively reclaims the upper range of 1.2675.

British Pound / U.S. DollarHello dear traders, Fereydoon Bahrami, and here is the amazing chart of the British pound. This profitable currency, after experiencing a CHoCH and taking an upward trend, is now ready to provide us with an excellent reward, similar to DXY. In this upward path, I have identified great buying opportunities in this bullish leg, and as soon as I receive the necessary confirmations for the trend to change towards the BOS, I will share them here. Dear friends, the daily chart is very important for banks and institutions, as the candlesticks on the daily chart do not create significant changes with each large-volume buy or sell, thus masking their footprints. However, if you pay attention to a 5-minute candlestick, if a bank wants to execute all its purchases, it can either rise or fall sharply, similar to a news candlestick, making it easily traceable. For this purpose, they allocate the main analysis to the daily chart and carry out purchases throughout the day in various time frames while maintaining them until the main daily target is achieved. Therefore, dear friends, the daily chart is very significant, and make sure to gauge stop losses using daily candlesticks while striving to execute the best buys and sells. I hope I have effectively conveyed the importance of the daily chart to you. My friends, the chart is drawn in a very simple and clear manner so that you can utilize it without confusion. Thank you very much, Fereydoon Bahrami "A retail trader in the Wall Street trading center (Forex)."

GBP/USD continues the downtrendOn GBP/USD , it's nice to see a strong sell-off from the price of 1.26740 and 1.27410. It's also encouraging to observe a strong volume area where a lot of contracts are accumulated. I believe that sellers from this area will defend their short positions. When the price returns to this area, strong sellers will push the market down again. Downtrend and high volume cluster are the main reasons for my decision to go short on this trade. Happy trading, Dale

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!

The Pound’s Downward Spiral: Are Bears Calling the Shots?Ah, the British Pound versus the mighty US Dollar. A tale as old as time, or at least as old as the forex market. Lately, though, it seems like the Pound is auditioning for the next big bear market. Grab your tea (or coffee if you’ve gone full American), and let’s dive into why GBP/USD might be heading south faster than you can say " Brexit chaos. " 🏴‍☠️ 1. Fibonacci Says: 'Resistance is Futile!' 🧮✨ First off, let’s talk about Fibonacci retracement. If you’re not familiar, it’s like the "Instagram filter" for price action—bringing clarity to an otherwise messy picture. Right now, the GBP/USD is dancing precariously around the 50% retracement level at 1.24376. But here’s the kicker: the Pound has already given us the cold shoulder at 1.27573 (the golden 61.8% retracement). Think of it like an ex texting "I’ve changed" and then ghosting you again. Classic. 📵 Unless GBP/USD can reclaim these levels, it’s giving major "let’s break down" vibes. 🚨 2. Descending Triangle of Doom ⚠️🔺 Triangles in forex can mean two things: continuation or reversal. This one? A big ol’ descending triangle, aka the bearish powerhouse. Lower highs are stacking up like unfulfilled New Year’s resolutions, and price action is squished tighter than a London Tube during rush hour. 🐜 The triangle breakdown looks inevitable, and when it does, it might not just be a stumble—it’ll be a swan dive into bearish waters. 🏊‍♂️💦 Target? Let’s just say 1.18379 and 1.12692 are waving hello from below. 👋 3. RSI: 'Oversold? Hold My Tea!' ☕📊 The RSI indicator is hovering dangerously close to oversold territory (around 30), whispering, "Hey, maybe the bears need a breather?" But don’t let it fool you. This isn’t a reason to buy blindly—it’s like seeing dark clouds and hoping for a rainbow instead of a thunderstorm. 🌈⚡ Unless the RSI shows a clear divergence (spoiler: it doesn’t), the downtrend could easily keep rolling like a snowball turning into an avalanche. ❄️⛰️ 4. Support Levels: The Bear’s Playground 🐻🎢 Looking ahead, the key support zones are sitting pretty at: 1.18379 (38.2% Fib): A potential pit stop. 1.12692 (23.6% Fib): Bears are probably circling this like vultures. 🦅 If you’re bullish, it’s time to sit tight. And if you’re bearish, you’re probably popping champagne already. 🍾 What Could Go Right? (AKA, the Bullish Plot Twist) 🐂✨ Okay, let’s not totally rule out the bullish counterattack. If the Pound miraculously pushes back above 1.27573 (the golden retracement), the bears might pack up and head for hibernation. But that’s a big if—like "the UK rejoining the EU" levels of unlikely. 😅 Conclusion: Will the Pound Pound Lower? 🥊📉 The stars—or in this case, Fibonacci levels and triangle patterns—are aligning for a bearish continuation. GBP/USD is looking more like a short than a "diamond in the rough." Unless it stages an Oscar-worthy comeback above 1.27573, this currency pair is poised to fall faster than a bad political speech. 🎭🎤 Bearish Action Plan 🐻📌 Wait for the triangle to break down: Confirmation is key—no guessing games here. Target 1.18379 and 1.12692: These levels are your guiding stars. Stop losses above 1.27573: Let’s not fight the inevitable if the bulls wake up. So, are you ready to ride the bear? Or are you hoping for a bull to save the day? Let me know below—because as we all know, trading is 90% strategy and 10% memes. 😜📈

GBPUSD Trade PlanChart shows a bullish divergence between price and RSI, alongside an inverse head and shoulders pattern, indicating a potential bullish reversal. The trade setup suggests a buy stop above the neckline at 1.27268, with a stop loss at 1.25861 (below the lower low). Profit targets are TP1 at 1.28680 (first resistance) and TP2 at 1.30080 (higher resistance). Ensure confirmation with a strong breakout above the neckline. Partial profits can be taken at TP1, moving the stop loss to breakeven for a risk-free trade. If the price closes below 1.25861, the setup is invalidated, and no entry should be made.

GBPUSD - The pound, vulnerable to financial policies?!The GBPUSD currency pair is below the EMA200 and EMA50 in the 4H timeframe and is moving in its downward channel. If the downward trend continues due to the release of today's economic data, we can see the demand zones and buy within those zones with the appropriate risk reward. In case of an upward correction, this currency pair can be sold within the specified supply zones. The UK government has quietly abandoned the Conservatives’ plan for managing pension accounts. This plan, introduced by former Chancellor Jeremy Hunt, aimed to address the issue of small, lost pension accounts. However, it faced widespread criticism from the savings industry. Instead, the new government has decided to focus on launching a pension dashboard to help individuals track their missing savings. Additionally, Rachel Reeves, Hunt’s successor, has announced plans for “megafunds” to consolidate the fragmented state of the current pension system. In October, the UK’s public sector net borrowing rose to £17.4 billion, significantly exceeding the £12.9 billion forecast and the previous figure of £16.6 billion. Excluding banking groups, the figure also stood at £17.4 billion, surpassing the earlier estimate of £13.3 billion. This increase in borrowing highlights the government’s growing need for financial resources and could impact future fiscal policies. Natural gas prices in the UK have reached their highest levels compared to European benchmarks since late 2021. This reflects the country’s heightened vulnerability to cold weather due to a lack of large storage sites. While futures contracts have shown little movement, they remain near last year’s peak levels. Additionally, natural gas prices have risen by over 15% so far in November, further emphasizing the fragility of the UK’s gas market. Mann, a member of the Bank of England, has expressed concerns about exchange rate volatility.She described a 1% rate cut as overly aggressive and suggested that decisions on reducing interest rates should be postponed until economic conditions stabilize. She emphasized that significant monetary changes should only occur based on robust data and evidence. Meanwhile, at TD Securities, a team of strategists led by Oscar Munoz and Gennadiy Goldberg expects the Federal Reserve to halt rate cuts in the first half of 2025, as central bank policymakers assess the impact of Trump’s policies. Similarly, interest rate strategists at JPMorgan have adjusted their expectations for the Fed. Broadly speaking, potential conflicts between the Federal Reserve and Trump’s White House seem highly likely, given that Trump’s policies could clash with monetary policies focused on curbing growth and reducing inflation.
