GBPUSD Trending Lower - Will It Drop To 1.28660?OANDA:GBPUSD is currently trading within a descending channel, indicating a strong bearish trend. The price has recently tested a resistance zone within the channel and appears to be rejecting it, suggesting a potential continuation to the downside. The current market structure implies that if this rejection holds, we could see further bearish movement toward the 1.28660 level, which aligns with the lower boundary of the channel. However, if the price manages to push above the channel with strong momentum, it could signal a shift in trend, potentially leading to a bullish breakout and a move toward higher resistance levels. Traders should look for confirmation signals such as rejection wicks, bearish engulfing candles, or increased selling volume before entering short positions. If you agree with this analysis or have additional insights, feel free to share your thoughts!

The peak is so close IMO... thoughts?So I've been tracking this idea for a couple of weeks. I think based on fractal pattern theory, that this is about to start dropping out, and really fast? Have a look at my previous GPBUSD idea, and you'll get an idea of what I've been thinking. I might be wrong, but I post because I want to hear alternative ideas, so fire away. As it stands, it looks like we need a big drop out/correction, and so have been holding a short position from 1.9557 as it's hard to truly predict when a drop out might happen. I've highlighted key support areas with circles - I'll update my idea as it hits each one, but I would'nt be surprised it we eventually got down to 1.7000 range (pink circle). I'd like to see a drop back to the green arrow/blue trend line, then we break further to the downside. The chart to the top left is a BTC chart which I use as a template to track where in the uptrends/downtrends. If you look at my last idea, you'll get an idea of what I'm on about and why I think we are where we are. We've got UK unemployment rate coming up Thursday + UK interest rates which could be the catalyst I'm looking for to the down side.

How to Spot Potential Price Reversals - Part 1: GBPUSD ExampleA subject within technical analysis that many traders find difficult to apply to their day-to-day trading is the ability to spot reversals in price. The misreading of price activity when a reversal is materialising can often lead to incorrect decisions, such as entering a trade too early, which can result in being stopped out of a potentially successful trade before price activity moves in the intended direction. In this piece today, and part 2 tomorrow, we want to look at 2 types of reversal in price – the Head and Shoulders/Reversed Head and Shoulders and the Double Top/Double Bottom. The intention is to help you understand why price activity is reversing and highlight how knowledge of this may be applied within your own individual trading strategies. The Head and Shoulders Pattern This pattern highlights the potential, • reversal of a previous downtrend in price into a more prolonged period of upside strength • reversal of a previous uptrend in price into a phase of weakness In this example, we are going to outline in more detail a bullish reversal in price, which is called a ‘Reversed Head and Shoulders’. Points to Note: Reversed Head and Shoulders • A downtrend in price must have been in place. • A Reversed Head and Shoulders is made up of 3 clear troughs on a price chart. • The middle trough (called the Head) is lower than the 2 outer price troughs (called the Left Hand Shoulder and the Right Hand Shoulder). • The 3rd low in price (Right Hand Shoulder) being higher than the Head, reflects the inability of sellers to be able to break under a previous low in price. This is regarded as a ‘weak test’ of a previous price extreme, suggesting buyers may be gaining the upper hand, readying for a potential positive sentiment shift and price strength. • A trendline connecting highs in price that mark the upper extremes of the Head is drawn. This highlights the Neckline of the pattern, which if broken on a closing basis, completes the reversal, to represent a positive shift in sentiment and the potential of further price strength. Point to Note: To understand a bearish reversal, known as a ‘Head and Shoulders Top’ please simply follow the opposite analysis of what is highlighted above. GBPUSD Example: In the chart below, we look at the recent activity of GBPUSD, which formed a bullish Reversed Head and Shoulders Pattern between December 20th 2024 and February 13th 2025, when the pattern was completed. As with any bullish reversal in price, a clear downtrend and extended price decline must have been seen previously, for the reversal pattern to be valid. On the chart above, this was reflected by the decline from the September 20th 2024 high at 1.3434, into the January 13th price low at 1.2100. The Head and Shoulders pattern is made up of 3 troughs in price and in this example, these are marked by the period between December 30th 2024 to January 7th 2025 which forms the Left Hand Shoulder , between January 7th to February 5th 2025 which was the Head developing , and between February 5th to February 13th 2025, which then formed the Right Hand Shoulder . The Neckline of the pattern is drawn connecting the December 30th 2024 high and the February 5th 2025 highs, which was broken on a closing basis on February 13th 2025. It was on this day, the Reversed Head and Shoulders Pattern was completed with potential then turning towards a more extended phase of price strength. Does the Head and Shoulders offer an Insight into a Potential Price Objective? Yes, it does, by measuring the height from the bottom of the Head to the level of the Neckline at the time that low was posted, we can project this distance higher from the point the neckline was broken. This suggests a possible minimum objective for any future price strength. In the example above, a low of 1.2100 was registered on January 13th 2025, at which time the Neckline stood at 1.2576. This means the height of the Head was 0.0476 (476 pips). On February 13th when the Neckline was broken on a closing basis, the Neckline stood at 1.2529. As such… 1.2529 + 0.0476 = 1.3005, which would be the minimum potential price objective for the Reversed Head and Shoulders. This level was in fact achieved on March 18th 2025. Of course, while the Head and Shoulders pattern is regarded as one of the most reliable patterns within technical analysis, it is not a guarantee of a significant price movement, as much will still depend on future sentiment and price trends. Therefore, if initiating a trade based on a Reversed Head and Shoulders pattern, you must ALWAYS place a stop loss to protect against any unforeseen event or price movement. The stop loss should initially be placed just under the level of the Right Hand Shoulder, as any break of this point negates the pattern, meaning we were wrong to class the pattern as we did. However, if prices rise after completion of the pattern, you can consider moving a stop loss higher, keeping it just under higher support levels to protect your position. We highlighted the formation of the potential GBPUSD reversed Head and Shoulders pattern on February 13th 2025, so please take a look at our timeline for further details.

GBP/USD BEARS ARE STRONG HERE|SHORT Hello, Friends! GBP/USD pair is in the uptrend because previous week’s candle is green, while the price is clearly rising on the 4H timeframe. And after the retest of the resistance line above I believe we will see a move down towards the target below at 1.291 because the pair overbought due to its proximity to the upper BB band and a bearish correction is likely.

The downward reversal from this resistance area created the daily Japanese candlesticks reversal pattern Evening Star which started the active wave 3. GBPUSD can be expected to fall to the next support level 1.2800, the former monthly high from December.

GBP/USD The 1.3000 GrindGBP/USD could be a compelling pair for those looking for USD-weakness. While EUR/USD has strung together six consecutive down days and USD/JPY continues to surge-higher even with USD-weakness showing in DXY, GBP/USD has held up fairly well, all factors considered. Also of interest is the big figures at play, with the 1.3000 level back in the equation on GBP/USD. That price has been tested a few times already and buyers came about 10 pips away from another test there earlier today. Meanwhile EUR/USD has held below 1.1000 so if we do see USD-weakness after Core PCE tomorrow, there could be a case for stalling about 50 pips above prior resistance. GBP/USD, on the other hand, has already taken a few shots at 1.3000, so if we see the Dollar slip that could open the door for a GBP/USD breakout to another fresh 2025 high. - js

GBP/USD Trade Analysis: Bullish Reversal from Support ZoneExponential Moving Averages (EMAs): 200 EMA (Blue) at 1.29309: Represents the long-term trend. 30 EMA (Red) at 1.29122: Represents the short-term trend. Price is currently below both EMAs, suggesting a bearish trend. Support and Resistance Zones: Resistance Zone (Purple at the top): Price previously reacted strongly at this level. Support Zone (Purple at the bottom): A potential demand area where price is currently bouncing. Trade Setup: Entry Point: Near 1.28875 (highlighted on the chart). Stop Loss: Set around 1.28714-1.28856, below the support zone. Target Point: 1.29730, above the resistance and near the 200 EMA. Risk-to-Reward Ratio: The setup aims for a higher reward than risk. Trade Idea: Bullish Reversal Trade: The price is reacting at a support zone, and the target aligns with a previous resistance level. A confirmation (strong bullish candle or break of 30 EMA) could indicate a move toward 1.29730. EMA Crossover Watch: If the 30 EMA crosses above the 200 EMA, it may confirm a stronger uptrend. Potential Risks: If price breaks below 1.28714, the bullish idea is invalid. Resistance at 1.29309 (200 EMA) could slow the move upward.

GBP/USD: Struggles at Resistance, Risks of Weak Oscillation PersDuring the European session on Tuesday, GBP/USD held steady above 1.29000. However, the technical outlook maintained a bearish bias. The US dollar strengthened due to upbeat data, suppressing the rebound of the British pound. The exchange rate faced resistance at key resistance levels when attempting to rise. If it fails to break through these resistance levels, in the short term, it may continue the weak, oscillatory downward trend, and the downside risks still remain. The market lacks strong momentum, and overall, it stays in a weak, oscillatory pattern. GBPUSD sell@1.29600-1.29900 tp:1.28800 I will share trading signals every day.

GBPUSD | APRIL 2025 FORECAST | Chopping Block is Hot!GBP/USD is approaching the psychological 1.3000 level, a key battleground for bulls and bears. The pair has been trading within a rising channel, but recent price action suggests momentum could be shifting. 🔹 Trend & Structure: GBP/USD remains in a broader uptrend but is struggling to maintain bullish momentum above 1.3000. A confirmed break could signal continuation, while rejection may trigger a retracement toward 1.2800-1.2750. 🔹 Technical Outlook: Support Levels: 1.2850, 1.2750 Resistance Levels: 1.3050, 1.3150 Indicators: RSI hovers near 65, signaling slight overextension; MACD shows bullish momentum but weakening. 🔹 Fundamental Factors: BOE policy expectations vs. Fed’s stance on rate cuts. US & UK economic data—watch CPI and employment figures. If GBP/USD clears and holds above 1.3000, it could open doors for a rally toward 1.3150. But if sellers defend this level, we might see a pullback toward 1.2850-1.2750 before the next move. Will 1.3000 hold, or is a reversal on the horizon?

GBPUSD: Channel Up still intact but keep an eye on the 4H MA200.GBPUSD is bullish on its 1D technical outlook (RSI = 59.951, MACD = 0.008, ADX = 32.444) as the dominant pattern remains a Channel Up and despite the consolidation in recent days, the market remains supported over the 4H MA200. If it crosses over the LH trendline, go long in a similar manner as the Feb 13th break out and aim for the 2.382 Fibonacci extension (TP = 1.3200). If on the other hand the price fails and crosses under the 4H MA200, go short and aim for the S1 level (TP = 1.2555). ## If you like our free content follow our profile to get more daily ideas. ## ## Comments and likes are greatly appreciated. ##

WAITING ON A PULLBACK BEFORE WE SHORTGBP/USD 1H - As you can see price is now looking as though it is going to put in this corrective wave trading us up and into the Supply Zone above, in doing so it should give us the opportunity to enter in on this market. I want to see price trade up and into this area for two reasons, one to clear the orders which will encourage a reversal in the balance and secondly to set a Lower high within this higher timeframe bearish structure. Once price does trade us up and into this zone we can then begin to look for those short opportunities, we will want to see price trade in, clear those orders and break structure to the downside fractally. A break in the structure to the downside will confirm and end to the correction and the start of the next impulse, this giving us the confirmation to trade this market short following the higher timeframe structure of this market.

GBP/USD Trend Today - Bearish?🔔🔔 GBP/USd news: 👉Weaker-than-expected inflation data pressured the British Pound in early European trading on Wednesday. Later in the day, the UK's Office for Budget Responsibility announced a downward revision of its 2025 GDP growth forecast to 1%, leading to a decline in GBP/USD. While presenting the Spring Budget, UK Chancellor Rachel Reeves highlighted the increasing instability of the global economy and announced cuts to planned government spending. 👉 On Thursday, the U.S. Department of Labor will release the weekly Initial Jobless Claims data, with markets expecting a rise to 225,000 from the previous 223,000. A significant drop in this figure could strengthen the U.S. dollar and push GBP/USD lower. 👉Meanwhile, market sentiment remains cautious early Thursday following the latest remarks from U.S. President Donald Trump regarding tariffs. 👉 If safe-haven flows dominate financial markets later in the day, GBP/USD may struggle to maintain its position. Personal opinion: 👉GBP/USD will continue to decline as this pair is vulnerable to potential risks from the trade war. 👉Moreover, a part of investors will turn to safe havens such as gold to keep their assets. So this pair will still be limited in the near future Plan: 🔆 Price Zone Setup: 👉Sell GGBP/USD 1.2970 – 1.2980 ❌SL: 1.3010 | ✅TP: 1.2920 – 1.2870 FM wishes you a successful trading day 💰💰💰
