Chart AnalysisGBP/USD Institutional Bias & Scalping Zones (London-NY Transition) This chart outlines my active directional bias and high-probability sniper entry zones on GBP/USD. 🔍 Bias: Bullish H1/H4 structure is bullish with a clean BOS above 1.3440 Price is respecting higher lows and breaking previous internal structure Momentum is supported by RSI above 60 on both H1 and M15 📍 Key Levels Buy-side liquidity rests above 1.3465–1.3485 zone OB and FVG reaction zones marked on M5/M15 for sniper entries Current price is consolidating just under a sweep zone — expecting expansion toward external liquidity 🎯 Trade Plan Buy Entry: After sweep + bullish BOS on M1/M5 SL: Below 1.3420 TP1: 1.3475 TP2: 1.3490 (external high) R:R: 2.5 to 3.5 depending on entry refinement I will monitor price action during the London and NY opens, adjusting entries based on liquidity grabs and volume shifts. This setup avoids hedging and focuses on clean directional conviction supported by institutional patterns.

GBPUSD Bearish Setup📌 Current Market Structure Liquidity Sweep + Rejection in Premium Zone: Price tapped into the major supply zone (red box) sitting above the last high. Liquidity above previous highs was swept, and now price is rejecting → a classic buy-side liquidity grab setup. Bearish Rising Wedge Structure Broken: Price broke the inner rising wedge (red trendlines) to the downside and is now retesting the supply zone. Breakdown aligns with a potential reversal entry or at least a bearish pullback. Higher Timeframe Supply Zone: The red zone coincides with the 1.34782 resistance, which price failed to break cleanly above. This zone holds institutional footprints → possible smart money distribution. 🧠 Trade Idea (Bearish Bias Confirmed) ✅ Entry: Already activated inside the red supply zone. 📍 Stop Loss: Just above the red box (around 1.3480). 🎯 Target Zones: TP1: 1.33281 → minor demand zone and previous consolidation. TP2: 1.32870 → previous BOS retest zone. TP3: 1.32543 → deep demand zone and trendline intersection. TP4: 1.31759–1.31554 → external liquidity resting below structure (long-term target). 🔻 Risk-to-Reward: Excellent potential up to 1:5+ RR if TP4 hits. 🔄 Reversal Signals Confirmation Watch for: Bearish engulfing candles with rising volume inside the red zone (VSA style). Displacement candle or M5–M15 BOS confirming internal structure shift. ⚠️ Invalidation Zone If price closes a 1H candle above 1.3480, setup is invalidated. Watch out for possible manipulation during the vertical blue lines (likely high-impact news). 🔮 Forecast: Expecting a mid- to long-term retracement or reversal back to the 1.31700s – 1.32800s region, based on the current rejection from premium supply and completion of a liquidity sweep.

GBP/USD Retracement or Reversal? Stay Sharp as Momentum FadesGBP/USD Trading Plan – May 20th | Retracement or Reversal? Stay Sharp as Momentum Fades 🌐 Macro Overview GBP/USD is currently influenced by several macroeconomic forces: USD strength is returning, supported by stable US data (Retail Sales, Jobless Claims), leading the market to delay expectations of a Fed rate cut. The British Pound is under pressure as the Bank of England (BoE) is not expected to raise rates further amid slowing domestic growth and easing inflation. Simultaneously, US-China trade tensions and US debt concerns are keeping market sentiment cautious. The pair is forming a bullish flag structure, but signs of exhaustion are emerging. 📉 Technical Analysis (2H Chart) GBP/USD is moving within a rising channel. However: 1.3433 remains a strong resistance, aligning with a local top — breakout potential is limited in the short term. A rising wedge pattern is forming — watch for a potential trap followed by a sharp sell-off. EMA13 and EMA34 are diverging, signaling distribution and potential reversal ahead. 🔑 Key Levels to Watch Major Resistance: 🔺 1.3433 – recent swing high and potential double top 🔺 1.3355 – mid-range resistance and EMA34 convergence (H2) Key Support: 🔻 1.3303 – key FIBO + trendline intersection 🔻 1.3251 – medium-term bullish structure support 🔻 1.3174 – previous swing low and strategic BUY ZONE 🎯 Trading Scenarios 📍 Scenario A – False Break and Rejection from Resistance Entry (SELL): 1.3430 – 1.3433 (after bearish confirmation) Stop Loss: 1.3460 Take Profits: 1.3355 → 1.3303 → 1.3250 📍 Scenario B – Breakdown and Failed Retest Entry (SELL): 1.3303 – 1.3310 (after support break and retest) Stop Loss: 1.3340 Take Profits: 1.3251 → 1.3174 📍 Scenario C – Deep Buy from Strong Support Entry (BUY): 1.3170 – 1.3174 Stop Loss: 1.3140 Take Profits: 1.3251 → 1.3300 ⚠️ Key Reminders: Stay cautious ahead of key US releases this week (PMI, FOMC Minutes), which may trigger high volatility. Avoid FOMO and respect SL/TP discipline — especially near potential trap zones. 📌 Follow for intraday updates and real-time trade setups as the structure evolves. Flexibility is key in this market.

GBPUSD 30M CHART PATTERNThis chart shows a trading setup for GBP/USD on the 30-minute timeframe, and it appears to be based on a bullish reversal pattern, possibly a double bottom or a rectangle consolidation breakout strategy. Key Details: Entry Point: Marked by the green arrow, suggesting a buy signal at the bounce from support. Stop Loss: Positioned just below the recent support level (bottom of the green box). Take Profit: Positioned at a level that mirrors the height of the rectangle pattern from the breakout point, indicating a measured move. Risk/Reward Ratio: Favorable, as the green “Take Profit” area is much larger than the red “Stop Loss” area. Technical Highlights: Blue arrows trace the price movement forming a V-shape recovery, followed by a consolidation in a range (green box). Multiple orange circles highlight the points where price tested support and resistance levels, confirming the pattern. A

7. "Boom! Trap, grab, and rally — just as planned." **"She walked right into the selling zone like she owned the chart. But baby, this ain’t a fairy tale — this is Elliott Wave. Wave C? Dead on arrival. CHOCH triggered? Game on. Retail's still dreaming of 1.40 — We're already targeting the magnet zone with sniper precision. She teased the breakout, we caught the fakeout. This ain't luck. It's strategy wrapped in savage. Trade less. Win more. Stay sexy, stay sharp."**

GBPUSD BULLISH OR BEARISH DETAILED ANALYSISGBPUSD is currently forming a clean bullish pennant pattern on the daily chart after a strong impulsive rally, indicating that the pair is consolidating before its next leg higher. Price is hovering around the 1.3360–1.3380 zone, coiling tightly within the pennant structure, and showing signs of breakout pressure building. This is a classic continuation setup in a trending market, and with volume compression and decreasing volatility, the stage is set for a bullish breakout toward the 1.4070–1.4100 region. On the fundamental side, the British pound remains relatively supported due to recent hawkish rhetoric from the Bank of England, which is still closely monitoring wage inflation and strong labor market figures. Meanwhile, the US dollar is facing headwinds after softer CPI and PPI readings this month, fueling expectations of Fed rate cuts in the second half of 2025. These macro dynamics are increasingly tilting in favor of sterling strength, as investors begin pricing in yield divergence between the Fed and the BoE. Technically, the bullish structure is intact and the pennant formation is forming right after a sharp move higher, which adds confluence to this pattern. The breakout zone to watch is 1.3380–1.3400, and if bulls can clear this area with momentum, we are likely to see a swift extension toward the 1.4070 level. The risk is well-contained below 1.3340, offering an excellent reward-to-risk ratio for breakout traders and trend followers. This setup is not only technically sound but also backed by current macro shifts, making GBPUSD one of the most promising long opportunities right now. The market has been consolidating for weeks, building up energy, and with fundamentals aligning, this breakout could drive a strong move into Q3. I'm eyeing the 1.4070–1.4100 target in the coming weeks, and I'll continue to monitor for confirmation and execution signals.

GBPUSD – Momentum Fading at Supply Zone? Get Ready for a Move!The pair has been trading inside a key supply zone between 1.3400 – 1.3440, and is now showing signs of buyer exhaustion. After a strong rally off the 1.3264 demand zone, price is consolidating under resistance — a classic signal of potential distribution. Key Technical Levels: Supply Zone: 1.3400 – 1.3440 Resistance: 1.34398 (strong upper barrier) Support 1: 1.33546 (previous breakout level) Support 2 / Demand Zone: 1.32644 (orange zone – high-volume demand) What to Watch: Failure to break above 1.3440 confirms seller strength Break below 1.33546 = confirmation of bearish momentum Target zone: 1.3264 demand, which also aligns with past accumulation Setup Idea: Short opportunity if price retests and fails to close above the 1.3410–1.3430 range with a clean rejection candle. Eye a swing move toward 1.3354, then potentially 1.3264. Risk Tip: Manage position sizing carefully near high-volume nodes. Wait for strong bearish confirmation — no need to rush entries in low volatility. --- Events to Watch: Major USD and GBP news lined up for the 23rd — expect volatility. Could be the catalyst for the next leg down. Do you think GBPUSD is topping out? Or is it gearing up for another leg higher? Drop your analysis below!

GBP/USD 1HOUR BEARISH I'm providing here (GBP/USD, 1-hour timeframe) Pattern Observation: The price tested a resistance zone around 1.33400 – 1.33550 multiple times (triple top). A potential bearish move is forecasted, as indicated by the drawn black and blue arrows. Ichimoku Cloud shows bearish pressure (price is under the cloud). Suggested Trade Setup: Trade Type: Sell (Short) Entry Point: Around current price: 1.32800–1.32900 Take Profit (TP) Levels: TP1: 1.32000 (recent support area) TP2: 1.31580 (target marked on the chart) TP3: 1.30800 (next key support zone if momentum continues) Stop Loss (SL): Above the resistance zone: 1.33550–1.33600 This protects the trade if price breaks above the established resistance. Risk Management Tips: Risk no more than 1–2% of your trading capital. Adjust lot size based on SL distance and your risk tolerance. Monitor for major news events near the 21–23 May period as marked on your chart.
