GBP/USD Faces Strong Resistance and Bearish PressureGBP/USD Faces Strong Resistance and Bearish Pressure GBP/USD tested a key daily zone from September 2024 but faced strong selling pressure, dropping nearly 190 pips. One reason for this bearish move is President Trump stepping back from his threats to remove Fed Chair Jerome Powell, which had briefly unsettled investor confidence in U.S. assets. However, as European trading began, most of those earlier gains faded. This setup remains risky because GBP/USD often doesn’t respond well to sell signals. However, if Trump reaches a deal with China, we could see a more decisive bearish move, as indicated on the chart. You may find more details in the chart!

GBP/USD Pressure Mounts on Weak UK DataThe GBP/USD currency pair faced downward pressure on Wednesday, largely due to disappointing data from the UK’s Purchasing Managers Index (PMI). This index showed a contraction in private sector business activity for April, signaling potential challenges in the UK economy. As a result, the Pound Sterling weakened against its major counterparts during European trading hours, reflecting growing concerns among investors about the economic outlook. As the day progressed, the focus shifted to the US Dollar (USD), which was buoyed by increasing optimism regarding easing tensions between the United States and China. Investors reacted positively to news surrounding potential diplomatic efforts and economic collaborations, leading to a stronger USD and further pulling the GBP/USD pair lower. This shift in sentiment highlights how geopolitical developments can significantly impact currency markets. Interestingly, the price action in the GBP/USD pair reached a notable Weekly Supply zone. This area has historically acted as a resistance level, and despite the current bearish trend, many retailers remain bullish on the Pound. This divergence in sentiment suggests that traders are closely monitoring the situation for signs of a reversal. Given the current conditions, there is speculation that the pair could experience a turnaround as it interacts with this important price level. Overall, the dynamics between the GBP and USD underscore the ongoing volatility in the foreign exchange market, driven by economic data and geopolitical events. Moving forward, market participants will likely keep a close eye on upcoming indicators and developments that could influence the trajectory of this currency pair, particularly in light of the recent fluctuations and the current positioning within the Weekly Supply zone.

GBPUSD → A false breakout can trigger a correction FX:GBPUSD is strengthening as part of the rally associated with the fall in the dollar index, but there is a technically strong resistance zone ahead that could trigger a correction... The dollar index, due to US politics, desire for lower interest rates, tariff war, continues its decline, giving an advantage to the currency pairs of the main basket. Against this background, the pound sterling is strengthening and is ready to test the key resistance at the moment: 1.343. The huge pool of liquidity, accumulated behind this area may not let the price up at the first time. The last test and confirmation of this level was half a year ago. Resistance levels: 1.343 Support levels: 1.3292, 1.3207 A sharp approach to resistance, a false breakout without the possibility of growth continuation and consolidation below the resistance 1.3430 may provoke a correction in the imbalance zone or liquidity 1.3292. Regards R. Linda!

GBPUSD: UK Data Back in FocusGBPUSD traded to an 8-month high on Tuesday at 1.3424, as a new wave of dollar selling swept across FX markets at the start of the week. This time driven by fresh uncertainty surrounding US economic growth and by a barrage of social media comments across the Easter Holiday period from President Trump that seemed to challenge the independence of the Federal Reserve. Now, as we look ahead to the remainder of the week, UK economic data is in focus, with the latest April Preliminary PMI Manufacturing and Services readings released at 0930 BST on Wednesday. These are potentially the first survey updates that will start to show the impact of US tariffs on UK economic growth, business sentiment and inflation, making them potentially important drivers for the future direction of GBPUSD. They could also shed some light on whether the Bank of England may be able to cut interest rates, as many traders hope, at their next interest rate meeting at the start of May. Then, on Friday, UK Retail Sales are released at 0700 BST. This release will be important in showing if UK consumers are still spending despite rising unemployment and stubbornly high prices. If they are, this may be taken as a positive for the UK economy and for GBPUSD, while any disappointment could lead to GBPUSD retesting lower levels again. Technical Update: September 2024 Highs a Key Resistance Focus So far during 2025, GBPUSD has seen a price recovery of nearly 11%, although as already discussed, this may be due more to broad based USD weakness, rather than outright GBP strength. Even so, latest upside has neared 1.3434, the September 2024 failure level, which may prove something of a line in the sand this week. Closing defense of 1.3434 may help determine where next directional risks lie. Much appears to depend on this week’s UK data and reaction to it, but traders may also be focusing on how the 1.3433 failure high is defended on a closing basis. Successful breaks may lead to a more sustained phase of price strength, but without such moves, risks could turn lower again. However, what are the levels we may need to monitor over coming sessions? Possible Resistance Levels: As we have established, traders after what has already been a strong recovery, may view the 1.3433 high as important, with closing breaks required to suggest risks to continue attempts to push to higher price levels. If closing breaks of 1.3433 do now materialise, it might be an indication of potential to challenge 1.3640, the February 2022 high, even towards 1.3748, equal to the January 10th 2022 rejection level. Possible Support Levels: With the 1.3433 price high remaining intact, Tuesday’s weakness from this area could now see focus shift back to support. If these give way, it might in turn point to possibilities of a deeper retracement of April strength. The first support may now prove to be 1.3313, equal to half the April 17th to April 22nd strength, with closing breaks perhaps suggesting further downside pressure. This could suggest possibilities towards 1.3148/1.3203, a combination of the April 7th low and 38.2% Fibonacci retracement of the April phase of price strength.

Liquidity drag, potential upsideA very slow and surprising Tuesday given easter break is finished. Liquidity was flowing through from Monday up until the close. Today we have seen a very slow climb to the downside - not much of a reaction from our recent political news with Trump & the Jerome Powells thoughts on cutting rates. Personal opinion - markets were very reactionary on the tarrifs. There is some consensus for bad news to come out in the UK which are labelled "high importance" - price action could be factoring in this for today, however, we must consider the fact of how slow bears did today technically both in European & US markets sessions. Swing to the upside & knock off to knock off 1.34 before anything further. However, we can still see a potential short term continuation to the mid 50s in 1.32 , where I will slowly take away positions. No stop loss, swing trade, opened positions ranging from 1.3345-1.3375 areas. Just wanted to share an idea in the midst of now of a good speculative entry.

GBPUSD Trade SetupA buy position has been placed on the GBP/USD pair at 1.30369, targeting an ambitious level of 1.39096. This setup reflects a bullish sentiment, anticipating a strong recovery in the British Pound against the US Dollar. Recent macroeconomic indicators suggest improving conditions in the UK economy, which could support further upward movement. Technical analysis shows that the pair is holding above key support levels, indicating sustained buying interest. If momentum continues, the price may gradually ascend toward the 1.39096 target in the coming weeks. A potential breakout above intermediate resistance zones could further confirm the bullish trend. Market sentiment also favors the Pound, especially amid speculation about a more cautious approach by the Federal Reserve. Volatility remains a factor, so proper risk management and stop-loss placement are essential. Traders should closely monitor upcoming data releases, such as GDP figures and central bank announcements. Overall, this trade setup offers a promising risk-to-reward ratio, backed by both technical strength and a supportive macroeconomic backdrop.

GBPUSD - End Of The Bullish Gravy Train?With a strong bullish rally throughout 2025, it is considered 'stupid' to bet against the trend. As the famous saying goes, 'the trend is your friend' and to a certain extent, it is true. But during the time of bullish price action, there is a minor retracement that occurs that allow smart money to buy at a lower price and a scenario like this is most likely going to play out going into the next weeks trading as I am seeing weakness across the board with Dollar Index and EURUSD. 1.32340 is my 1st point of interest

GBP/USD 15M CHART PATTERNGBP/USD 15-Minute Chart Analysis Pattern Observed: The chart clearly shows a Head and Shoulders pattern, a classic bearish reversal signal. Left Shoulder forms first, followed by a higher Head, and then a lower Right Shoulder. A neckline (support line) is drawn connecting the low points between the shoulders and the head. Breakout: Price has broken below the neckline, confirming the Head and Shoulders pattern. A strong red arrow pointing downward indicates expected bearish continuation. Target Point: The projected target based on the Head and Shoulders breakdown is around 1.32000. This is calculated by measuring the height from the head to the neckline and projecting that downward from the breakout point. Moving Averages: 50 SMA (Simple Moving Average) and 90 SMA are shown. Price is trading below these moving averages, supporting a bearish bias. Current Price: Around 1.3298, just below the neckline, retesting slightly. Bias: Bearish, with an expectation for price to continue dropping toward 1.32000. Summary: A classic bearish setup with confirmation. Breakout of the Head and Shoulders suggests continuation toward 1.32000. Watch for any minor pullbacks to the neckline (around 1.3300–1.3310) before further selling pressure resumes.
