GBPUSD INTRADAY corrective pullback supported at 1.2765GBP/USD maintains a bullish bias, with the broader trend and structure supporting upside continuation. The recent intraday move appears to be a corrective pullback toward a key prior consolidation area. Key Support: 1.2765 – aligns with the previous consolidation zone and potential bullish inflection point. Upside Targets: 1.2935 – initial resistance level 1.2985 and 1.3026 – medium to long-term bullish targets If price finds support at 1.2765 and forms a bullish reversal, it would confirm the continuation of the uptrend toward the mentioned resistance levels. However, a break and daily close below 1.2765 would invalidate the bullish scenario, suggesting deeper retracement toward 1.2688, with further support at 1.2632 and 1.2600. Conclusion GBP/USD remains bullish above 1.2765. Look for a bounce from this level to confirm upside continuation. A daily close below 1.2765 would turn the outlook bearish, exposing lower support levels.

GBP/USD Softens in Risk-Off TradeThe GBP/USD pair dipped 0.11% to $1.289 in Asian trading, pressured by global recession fears and rising U.S.-China trade tensions. While expectations of Fed rate cuts have weighed on the dollar, the pound remains weak amid economic uncertainty and an unclear Bank of England outlook. With no strong catalysts, GBP/USD may stay vulnerable, especially if risk aversion intensifies. If GBP/USD breaks above 1.3000, resistance levels are at 1.3050 and 1.3120. Support is at 1.2900, followed by 1.2850 and 1.2800.

GBPUSD Technical Analysis by TradingDONThe market might have finished its liquidity grab below recent lows—the so-called “sweep” near 1.2900—and could be ready to bounce back if the broader timeframe stays bullish. 1. Entry Signal: A clear 1-hour close above 1.2950–1.2960 (and perhaps a retest) would indicate that buyers are stepping back in. 2. Entry Idea: Go long if the price breaks and holds above the short-term structure or if it retests an H1 FVG/demand zone around 1.2900–1.2920, forming bullish reversal candles. 3. Stop Loss: Place your stop below the recent low or the FVG/demand zone (around 1.2880–1.2900). If the price continues dropping below this level, your bullish thesis is invalidated. 4. Take Profit Targets: Aim for the upper FVG near 1.3000–1.3050, with partial profits taken at key psychological levels (like 1.3000) or previous swing highs. 5. Rationale: If the higher timeframe trend remains bullish, the current dip might just be a “discount” opportunity for smart money to load up on longs. Reclaiming key structure levels on the H1 chart would confirm that bullish momentum is returning.

GBP/USD 4-Hour Timeframe AnalysisGBP/USD 4-Hour Timeframe Analysis The GBP/USD pair has been showing a bullish uptrend, influenced by several key factors. We have identified 1.30200 as a minor key resistance level and 1.28600 as a major key support level, both of which are critical in shaping the price action. Additionally, we have observed a large consolidation phase, indicating that the buying momentum is starting to wane. The price recently broke through the minor resistance level, creating a false breakout that likely triggered pending buy orders from retail traders. This false breakout could potentially lead to a reversal, as the buying pressure diminishes, suggesting a possible shift towards a bearish movement. More recently, the price broke below the major support at 1.28600, triggering sell positions among retail traders. However, the price did not continue towards the next minor support level, which indicates that market makers may be attempting a liquidity hunt. As a result, the price is now within a liquidity zone, and we expect the potential liquidation of sellers who have placed their stop-loss orders within this zone. The recent breakout at 1.28600 has resulted in a Change of Character (CHOCH), signaling a shift in market structure from a bullish trend to a potential bearish phase. This change in character could mark the beginning of a longer-term bearish trend. However, if the price continues to break above the 1.30200 resistance, a continuation of the bullish trend may occur, and we would need to reassess the market conditions. Trade Plan: Our strategy is to wait for a clear liquidity buildup before the price retests and potentially breaks the major support level again. We plan to enter a Sell Stop order at 1.28680, with a Stop Loss at 1.29430 (just above the liquidity zone) and a Take Profit target at 1.26820, the next significant support level. Recent Negative Developments Impacting GBP: April 4, 2025: The British Pound experienced significant declines against major currencies amid a broader market selloff, largely fueled by escalating trade tensions between China and the United States. This has increased market volatility, prompting a flight to safer assets. (Source: Reuters) April 2, 2025: U.S. President Donald Trump’s announcement of a global tariff strategy, including a baseline 10% levy on all imports, has further strained the British Pound. Although the UK was spared the steepest tariffs, the 10% levy still impacts approximately £60 billion of annual exports to the U.S., raising concerns about potential economic repercussions for the UK. These negative developments have added downward pressure on the British Pound, reinforcing the bearish outlook for GBP/USD. 📌 Disclaimer: This analysis is for informational and educational purposes only and should not be considered financial advice.

RSI + BB strategy - the strong duo you will ever need to win Hello traders! This article shares with you a strategy employing two famous indicators that have stood the test of time and used by professionals and amateurs alike. A solid trading plan needs at least one solid strategy which will be your bread and butter. You can always add more strategies or game plans to your repertoire but you need to master one. Trading can be as complicated or simple as you make it. To make sense of it all, you should always try to be realistic and stick to a trading plan which is "simple and stupid" so that you free your mind from overthinking and focus on the market movements instead. A good strategy, along with constant market trend analysis, good risk management, news awareness and emotion control can ultimately transition you to being a consistent profitable trader. Indeed, there are times where the odds will not be in your favour and you will have losing trades. However, the key to success is to think of trading as a game of probability and developing a winning edge that ensures you are profiting more than losing. A 1:2 RRR is the least you have to accept when entering a trade, else sit tight and wait for the next opportunity. As Jesse Livermore quoted, "It never was my thinking that made the big money for me. It always was my sitting. Got that? My sitting tight!". RSI Developed by J. Welles Wilder Jr. In 1978, the relative strength index is a momentum indicator that measures the speed and magnitude of price changes. At 70+, RSI is considered overbought and a retracement in price may occur. At 30-, RSI is considered oversold and price may go up. The middle line is the mean of recent prices, usually during a 14 days period. BB Developed by John Bollinger much later in the 1980s, BB is a volatility indicator which measures the speed and extent of price changes. A wider band signals high volatility and a narrow band signals low volatility. When price reaches the upper band, the asset is considered overbought and price may retract. When price reaches the lower band, the asset is considered oversold, meaning there are less and less sellers in the market and price may go up. The middle line is usually a simple moving average, showing the mean price across a time period. RSI + BB strategy The combination relies, and truthfully so, on the fact that the price of an asset usually hovers around its mean. Unless there are significant macroeconomic changes and news are strong (ultimately forming a new trend), price does not deviate much from its mean. It continues and builds its existing trend and moves up and down the moving average. By meauring both the momentum and volatility of the price, while keeping an eye on the direction of the trend, a trader can place small trades with a minimum 1:2 RRR as the asset moves in a range, an uptrend or a downtrend. The indicators give you insight on where to buy and place your SL and TP. Trading set ups - RSI 70+, BB touching upper band, no news, BB horizontal (showing a ranging market), price at major resistance zone - sell because price is likely to move through the moving average towards to lower band - RSI 30-, BB touching lower band, no news, BB horizontal (showing a ranging market), price at major support zone- buy because price is likely to move through the moving average towards to upper band - RSI 70+, BB touching upper band (price climbing up the BB ladder), BB moving upwards (uptrend), strong good news - buy because price is in uptrend and trend is likely to continue - RSI 30-, BB touching lower band (price falling off the BB cliff), strong bad news - sell because price is in downtrend and trend is likely to continue Sitting tight -Playing on a 1hr timeframe, there won't be many instances when all these stars align. That is when you sit tight and wait. - When price is hovering in between the RSI grid and BB band - sit tight and wait because the odds are not in your favour and it is impossible to predict which way price will move. Let the market do its thing, protect your capital and wait for the market to show you what to do next. Note - When the conditions are met, always enter the trade as soon as you get confirmation. If you are late in entry, skip the trade and wait - Place your SL just above the upper BB if selling or just below the lower BB if buying - TP is essential so you can lock in profits, especially in ranging markets where price quickly touches the BB band and bounces back. If you are in a trade and not able to monitor it, a TP ensures you have closed your trade at your desired and predicted price. TP is placed close to the lower band if selling or close to the upper band if buying -Ensure that all your other criteria such as news, RRR and emotion control are met to enter a trade. If one is not met, this trade is not for you. - Familiarise yourself using alerts. You have to be able to be present when the opportunity presents itself. Tradingview's lowest paid plan gives you 20 alerts, which is more than sufficient if you are focusing on 4-5 assets only. Alerts add to your winning edge and enable you to be trading the best set ups when they form. Please do not hesitate to share your thoughts if you do use RSI and/or BB and have had positive outcomes. :) GL to all!

Cable erases most post-tariff gainsCable reached six-month intraday highs even above $1.32 on 3 April after the American government announced sweeping new tariffs and panicked many investors and traders. Now, though, most of these have been reversed after an unusually better than expected job report from the USA. Politically, sterling seems to be among the less vulnerable currencies now since the UK was hit by only 10% new tariffs and hasn’t responded with any on the USA amid the Prime Minister’s call for ‘cool and calm heads’. The obvious interpretation of the chart is an extreme head and shoulders, which would suggest another bout of significant losses to come around the end of April or early May. That’s questionable now because the fundamental situation is so heated. Given the strength of the pullback from $1.32, a sustained break above there in the near future looks unlikely. $1.28 is the area of the 200 SMA and likely to be an important support, but the price might halt above there at least temporarily around the lower part of the range from March. As for gold, traders are looking ahead to American inflation on 10 April. Here though British GDP, trade and industrial data are also in focus on Friday 11 April. This is my personal opinion, not the opinion of Exness. This is not a recommendation to trade.
