Lingrid | GBPUSD retest the RESISTANCE zone and FALLFX:GBPUSD price is approaching the confluence of the red resistance trendline and the $1.334 level after an extended climb along the upward trendline. Despite short-term bullish momentum, this zone has acted as a strong barrier in the past. A rejection here could signal the start of a local correction toward $1.325 or lower. 📌 Key Levels Support: $1.32540 Resistance: $1.33413 Reversal Zone: Red trendline near $1.334 ⚠️ Risks Breakout above $1.334 could invalidate the reversal setup Momentum remains bullish above the blue trendline Failure to reject the red trendline may shift bias to breakout continuation Traders, if you liked this idea or if you have your own opinion about it, write in the comments. I will be glad 👩‍💻

GBP/USD Short Trade Setup – Targeting 1.31580 from 1.34281Entry Point: 1.34281 Stop Loss: 1.34554 (about 27 pips above entry) Target Points: Target One: 1.32698 Final Target (EA Target Point): 1.31580 (approx. 270 pips from entry) Risk/Reward Ratio: Favorable, given the tight stop and wider target. 📈 Chart Features Highlighted Zones: Resistance Zone (top purple area): A strong supply zone, where price reversed multiple times. Support Zone (bottom purple area): Historical demand zone, previous price reactions. Orange Circles: Represent key swing highs and lows (likely used to confirm the zones or a double/triple top/bottom pattern). Moving Averages: Red Line: Likely a shorter-period MA (e.g., 20 EMA). Blue Line: Likely a longer-period MA (e.g., 50 or 200 EMA), often used for trend confirmation. 🧠 Interpretation Price Action: The chart suggests the price recently hit a resistance zone and is expected to reverse. Trade Bias: Bearish – expecting the market to drop from the resistance. Indicators Support: Price has rejected multiple times at the top. Entry is slightly below resistance, confirming a potential reversal. Targets align with support and past consolidation zones.

GBPUSD SWING: +1000 Pips Later, GU Is Still Climbing in Stealth 🧠 Last Idea Recap from Early Feb 2025: - We previously caught a multi-leg upside off the bottom channel (~1.2550) with over 350 pips in structured recovery. - Price is now grinding within upper consolidation, testing the 1.3315–1.3350 supply shelf. Note: Check out the previous Idea from related publications to verify. Update: GBPUSD has now delivered over 1000+ pips in swing structure from the bottom breakout (1.2550s), with even more gains harvested through intra-day and scalp setups inside this multi-week ascending channel. Recent UK macro strength (GDP beat across MoM, QoQ, YoY) injected new life into price action, adding fundamental confluence to the clean bullish technicals already building. Price continues to respect the rising structure with higher lows and controlled consolidation near a breakout shelf at 1.3350–1.3375. 🔍 Current Structure : - Bullish flag forming near key supply zone - No sign of distribution or exhaustion - Channel still intact, buyers defending every dip Next Leg: - Break and hold above 1.3375 could fuel another 100–150 pip run toward 1.3470 and eventually 1.3550+ - Short-term traders: watch for a stop-hunt sweep before the real move Entry Notes: - Use lower timeframes (4H/1H) for confirmation wicks, volume spikes, or engulfing candles - Avoid getting trapped on the first breakout candle—look for retest/reclaim plays Whether you’re swinging or scalping, this pair has remained one of the cleanest GBP structures in months, and this ride might not be over yet.

GBPUSD Analysis – Bearish Setup Into Key ResistanceGBP/USD is trading into a key multi-week resistance zone between 1.3360 and 1.3413. The pair has failed to break this area multiple times, and current price action shows signs of compression and hesitation. With elevated UK inflation limiting BoE easing flexibility and renewed USD support following bond yield spikes, this setup offers a compelling bearish opportunity. Clean downside targets lie at 1.3177, 1.3016, and potentially 1.2890. The trade remains valid unless price breaks and holds above 1.3413. 🔍 Technical Analysis Structure: Price is testing a significant resistance zone (1.3360–1.3413) that’s held since early April. Bearish trendline from May highs remains intact. A descending structure is forming with lower highs and failed breakouts. Support Levels to Watch: 1.3177 – Previous structure low 1.3016 – Strong horizontal support 1.2890 – March swing low and fib extension target Confluence: EUR/USD overlay shows rejection at similar highs, reinforcing risk-off dollar strength Price failing to hold above fib retracement levels from prior swings 🌍 Fundamental Context 🇬🇧 British Pound (GBP): UK inflation is climbing again (expected 3.0% CPI for April), delaying BoE's ability to cut further. BoE’s Pill has pushed back on rapid easing, citing persistent service inflation. UK-EU trade agreement provides medium-term support, but short-term upside appears priced in. 🇺🇸 U.S. Dollar (USD): Despite Moody’s downgrade, U.S. yields are rising, supporting USD demand. Trump’s tariff threats have injected global risk-off tones, lifting the dollar as a safe haven. Fed remains cautious — no rate cuts expected soon. 🎯 Trade Setup Bias: Bearish Entry Zone: Near 1.3360–1.3413 resistance (wait for rejection candle confirmation) Targets: First: 1.3177 Second: 1.3016 Third: 1.2890 Invalidation: A daily close above 1.3413 would invalidate the bearish thesis ⚠️ Risk & Management Tips Don’t short blindly into resistance — wait for strong wick or bearish engulfing candle. Watch upcoming UK inflation data or Fed commentary for macro triggers. Avoid over-leveraging: false breakouts near highs are common. 🧭 Conclusion GBP/USD is coiling near a powerful resistance area. A confirmed rejection opens the door for a multi-leg downside move into 1.30 and below. As long as price holds beneath 1.3413, the risk-reward profile favors sellers. Patience and precision are key at this stage.

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

Sterling Extends Rally Amid U.S. Fiscal ConcernsGBP/USD extended its gains for a fourth consecutive session, trading near 1.3430 during Thursday’s Asian session. The pair’s upward movement is largely supported by continued weakness in the U.S. Dollar, following Moody’s downgrade of the U.S. credit rating from Aaa to Aa1, in line with earlier downgrades by Fitch in 2023 and S&P in 2011. Moody’s cited projections that U.S. federal debt could surge to 134% of GDP by 2035, up from 98% in 2023, with the budget deficit potentially widening to nearly 9% of GDP. Key concerns include rising interest payments, growing social expenditures, and weakening tax revenues. The first critical support for GBP/USD is seen at 1.3450 and the first resistance is located at 1.3250.

Market fall down 1. Weak Bearish Confirmation Issue: The red arrow implies a confirmed downtrend, but the price action doesn’t show a strong breakdown—just a slight dip through a thin support zone. Disruption: Without strong bearish candles or volume spikes, the breakdown could be a false move or liquidity grab before a reversal. --- 2. Overconfidence in Double Bottom Reversal Issue: The blue “W” pattern and green arrow suggest a possible double bottom, but no clear second bottom has formed yet. Disruption: Assuming a reversal prematurely is risky. The price may continue dropping, invalidating the bullish reversal scenario. --- 3. Target Placement Is Vague Issue: The "Target" is placed arbitrarily along a horizontal line without referencing key resistance levels or technical confluences. Disruption: Without support from Fibonacci, previous highs, or indicators, the target lacks reliability and could mislead trade planning. --- 4. Lack of Volume Context Issue: The volume histogram shows a spike during a previous down move, but no current volume analysis is integrated into the decision. Disruption: Price action alone, especially on lower timeframes, is insufficient without volume confirmation to validate breakouts or breakdowns. --- 5. No Risk Management Displayed Issue: The analysis includes bullish and bearish paths but omits stop-loss levels or invalidation zones. Disruption: Without clear invalidation, the trade becomes ambiguous and exposes the trader to unnecessary risk if price deviates unexpectedly.
