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.

Mastering MACD- Complete Guide- 10 ways to trade itThe Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) is a versatile indicator that can help traders navigate the markets with precision. From trend identification to momentum assessment, the MACD provides multiple actionable insights. In this educational post, we’ll explore the key ways to use MACD effectively, with an example illustration accompanying each strategy. ________________________________________ 1. Signal Line Crossovers The most common use of MACD is the signal line crossover, which identifies potential shifts in market momentum: • Bullish Signal: When the MACD line (fast-moving) crosses above the signal line (slow-moving), it suggests upward momentum is increasing. This can be an entry signal for a long trade. Bullish crossovers often occur after a period of consolidation or a downtrend, signaling a reversal in market sentiment. • Bearish Signal: When the MACD line crosses below the signal line, it signals downward momentum, often triggering a short-selling opportunity. Bearish crossovers can occur during retracements in an uptrend or at the start of a bearish reversal. How to Use: Look for confirmation from price action or other indicators, such as a breakout above a resistance level for a bullish signal or a breakdown below support for a bearish signal. It's essential to avoid acting solely on a crossover; consider volume (stocks, crypto), candle stick formations and other market conditions. Example: A bullish crossover on the daily chart on TRADENATION:XAUUSD indicates a potential buying opportunity as the price begins to rise. Add a stop-loss below recent lows to manage risk and look for a 1:2 risk:r eward in the next resistance. ________________________________________ 2. Zero Line Crossovers The MACD’s zero line acts as a boundary between bullish and bearish momentum, making it a valuable trend confirmation tool: • Above Zero: When the MACD line moves above the zero line, it confirms an uptrend, as the fast-moving average is above the slow-moving average. Sustained movement above zero often indicates a strong bullish trend. • Below Zero: A MACD line below zero reflects a downtrend, indicating bearish market conditions. Persistent movement below zero confirms bearish momentum. How to Use: Use the zero line crossover to validate trades based on other signals, such as candlestick patterns or trendline breaks. The crossover can act as a second layer of confirmation for existing trade setups. Example: MACD on a crypto pair crosses above the zero line, confirming the start of a new bullish trend. Traders can combine this with volume analysis to ensure strong market participation. ________________________________________ 3. Histogram Analysis The histogram represents the distance between the MACD line and the signal line, offering insights into momentum: • Expanding Histogram: Indicates strengthening momentum in the direction of the trend. Larger bars show increasing dominance of bulls or bears. • Contracting Histogram: Suggests weakening momentum, signaling a possible reversal or consolidation. Smaller bars indicate a loss of trend strength. How to Use: Monitor the histogram for early signs of momentum shifts before a crossover occurs. The histogram can act as a leading indicator, providing advanced warning of potential changes in price direction. Example: A shrinking histogram in a forex pair signals that the bullish momentum is losing steam, warning traders of a possible retracement. This can be a cue to tighten stop-loss levels or take partial profits. Conversely, an expanding histogram during a breakout confirms the strength of the move. ________________________________________ 4. Identifying Divergences MACD divergences are powerful tools for spotting potential reversals: • Bullish Divergence: Occurs when the price makes a lower low, but the MACD forms a higher low, signaling weakening bearish momentum. This often precedes a trend reversal to the upside. • Bearish Divergence: Happens when the price makes a higher high, but the MACD forms a lower high, indicating diminishing bullish strength. This suggests a potential reversal to the downside. How to Use: Combine divergence signals with support or resistance levels to enhance reliability. Divergences are most effective when spotted at major turning points in the market. Example: On a TRADENATION:EURUSD chart, a bearish divergence signals an upcoming price reversal from an up trend to a down trend. ________________________________________ 5. Trend Confirmation MACD confirms trends by staying consistently above or below the zero line: • Above Zero: Indicates a strong uptrend. Look for pullbacks to enter long trades. The longer the MACD remains above zero, the stronger the trend. • Below Zero: Reflects a persistent downtrend. Use rallies as opportunities to short. A sustained period below zero reinforces bearish dominance. How to Use: Use MACD’s trend confirmation alongside other trend-following tools like moving averages or Ichimoku clouds. Ensure that market conditions align with the broader trend. Example: Combining MACD trend confirmation with moving averages helps traders stay on the right side of the trend in a stock market index. For example, buy when both MACD and a 50-day moving average indicate an uptrend. Exit trades when the MACD begins to cross below zero or shows a divergence. ________________________________________ 6. Overbought and Oversold Conditions Although MACD is not traditionally an overbought/oversold indicator, extreme deviations between the MACD line and the signal line can hint at stretched market conditions: • Overbought: When the MACD line is significantly above the signal line, it may indicate a price correction is imminent. This often occurs after an extended rally. • Oversold: When the MACD line is well below the signal line, it suggests a potential rebound. Such conditions are common following sharp sell-offs. How to Use: Monitor extreme readings in conjunction with oscillators like RSI for added confidence. Look for reversals near key support or resistance levels. Example: An extended bearish move with a large MACD-signal line gap warns traders of a potential price correction. This can signal an opportunity to exit. Pair this observation with a bullish candlestick pattern to confirm the move (in this example morning star) ________________________________________ 7. Combining MACD with Other Indicators MACD works best when paired with complementary indicators to provide a more comprehensive market analysis: • RSI (Relative Strength Index): Use RSI to confirm momentum and overbought/oversold conditions. • Bollinger Bands: Validate price breakouts or consolidations with MACD signals. • Support and Resistance: Use MACD signals around key levels for confluence. How to Use: Wait for MACD signals to align with other indicator readings to improve accuracy. Cross-validation reduces false signals and increases confidence in trades. Example: A bearish MACD crossover near a key resistance level reinforces a short-selling opportunity. ________________________________________ 8. Multi-Timeframe Analysis Using MACD across different timeframes strengthens trade signals and provides context: • Higher Timeframe: Identify the broader trend to avoid trading against the market. For instance, if the daily chart shows a bullish MACD, focus on long trades in lower timeframes. • Lower Timeframe: Pinpoint precise entries and exits within the higher timeframe’s trend. The MACD on lower timeframes can help fine-tune timing. How to Use: Align MACD signals on both higher and lower timeframes to confirm trade setups. This alignment minimizes the risk of false signals. ________________________________________ 9. Customizing MACD Settings Traders can tailor MACD settings to suit different trading styles and timeframes: • Shorter Periods: Provide more sensitive signals for scalping or day trading. Shorter settings react quickly to price changes but may generate more false signals. • Longer Periods: Produce smoother signals for swing trading or position trading. Longer settings are less responsive but more reliable. How to Use: Experiment with different settings on a demo account to find what works best for your strategy. Adjust settings based on the volatility and nature of the asset. Example: A scalper uses a 5, 13, 6 MACD setting to capture quick momentum shifts in the market, while a swing trader sticks with the standard 12, 26, 9 for broader trends. Compare results across different markets to refine the approach. ________________________________________ 10. Crossovers or Divergence at Key Levels Combining MACD crossovers with price action levels enhances the reliability of trade signals: • Horizontal Levels: Use MACD signals to confirm reversals or breakouts at support and resistance levels. Crossovers near these levels are often more reliable. • Fibonacci Retracements: You can combine MACD with retracement levels to validate potential entries or exits. Confluence with retracements adds weight to the signal. How to Use: Wait for MACD signals to align with key price levels for higher probability trades. Confirmation from candlestick patterns or volume (stock and crypto) adds further credibility. Example: A bullish MACD divergence aligns with a strong support level, signaling a strong buy setup. Add confirmation with a candlestick reversal pattern, such as a piercing pattern in our case, to enhance precision. ________________________________________ Conclusion: The MACD indicator’s flexibility makes it a must-have tool for traders of all styles. By mastering these strategies and integrating them in your trading, you can elevate your trading decisions.

GBPUSD: Day 3 breakout traders long in the market!Hello traders and welcome back to my profile, as always don't forget to hit the like button and comment if you enjoy this analysis, and feel free to share your own thoughts! Trade setup, don't chase movement, neither don't guess what the market is going to do next. I know it looks like I'm trying to predict a move, but actually I'm just showing what setup I'm looking for in order to partecipate in the market, eventually it's going to move in my direction. GBPUSD is currently on my watchlist, day 3 long in the market can be a strong signal of reversal (when setup properly) and I can see a potential weekly pump and dump setting up for today (waiting for news to be released), or it can be a move that can be completed on tomorrow, eventually the market will close as first red day at the end of the day. Let's go a little bit deeper: Monday, opening range of the week was a strong pumping day, clean, clear, which triggered long breakout traders in the market and closed in breakout above the previous weekly level, other time frame traders are involved and the market may be in play! Tuesday, initial balance, the market slightly expanded the range higher and the end of the day it closed in breakout triggering breakout long for the second time, decreasing, however, the momentum of this move. Wednesday, the market stayed inside the previous daily range, barely touching the weekly high and the end of the day, which I consider a day 3 long traders triggered up high. Now, to me, this scenario look pretty much a 2 days of consolidation up high into the weekly high after Monday pumping day, and I would be interested in shorting a potential dump, targeting the weekly low. Thesis: - Short, is my main thesis, going to complete the weekly pump and dump, it can setup today or tomorrow, and what I will be looking for is an intraday pump and dump blowing off during NY session. - Long, not really interested today, but however, I cannot know if the market will proceed to go higher, because overall, we can see a strong bullish trend from January 2025 and I wouldn't expect the market dropping down till that level where such a huge move started. Follow me to get update about this market! Gianni

GBP/USD: Technical Signals Point to Potential Bearish ReversalIn the early stages of the European session on Friday, GBP/USD is struggling to maintain its footing, trading below the 1.2925 mark as I compose this article. The pair faces pressure from a robust demand for the US dollar amid a backdrop of cautiousness from the Federal Reserve and prevailing economic uncertainties. This selling pressure persists despite the Bank of England's recent hawkish stance. As market participants await insights from Federal Reserve officials as well as a speech from US President Trump in the Oval Office, attention is heightened. From a technical perspective, the currency pair has entered a supply zone, prompting expectations for a potential reversal and the commencement of a bearish trend. ✅ Please share your thoughts about GBP/USD in the comments section below and HIT LIKE if you appreciate my analysis.

GBPUSD - Chasing the Bulls!!Hello TradingView Family / Fellow Traders. This is Richard, also known as theSignalyst. 📈GBPUSD has been overall bullish trading within the rising channel marked in red. Moreover, the blue zone is a major daily support. 🏹 Thus, the highlighted blue circle is a strong area to look for buy setups as it is the intersection of daily support zone and lower red trendline acting as a non-horizontal support. 📚 As per my trading style: As #GBPUSD approaches the blue circle zone, I will be looking for bullish reversal setups (like a double bottom pattern, trendline break , and so on...) 📚 Always follow your trading plan regarding entry, risk management, and trade management.

GBPUSD → Correction to the liquidity zone. Waiting for a FBFX:GBPUSD gets a negative CPI report in the early session and tests key support, but failing to reach the liquidity area a rebound is formed. The pair is in consolidation... The CPI report provoked a small liquidation in the market, within the framework of which the price tested one of the key supports at 1.2886, but the price did not enter the liquidity area, i.e. technically the chances to return to this area are quite high. A correction to the imbalance zone is being formed, from which the decline may continue. In the short term I am interested in 1.2868, which can still hold the market and form a bullish impulse. Resistance levels: 1.2926 Support levels: 1.2886, 1.2868, 1.2811 False break of the global range support at 1.2868 may trigger a rebound to 1.2926. I do not exclude a deeper correction to the support from D1, for example to 1.2811 from which, against the background of the bull market, we can wait for an upward correction. Regards R. Linda!

POSSIBLE LONG TERM SELL ON GBPUSD 1️⃣ Technical Confluences (Bearish Bias) 🔹 Resistance Trendline Touch – Price is testing a well-defined descending trendline, suggesting a potential rejection. 🔹 Fair Value Gap (FVG) Sell Area – The price might fill this imbalance before reversing downward. 🔹 Key Supply Zone (~1.3244–1.3376) – A historically strong resistance area, likely to trigger sell orders. 🔹 Lower Timeframe Confirmation (H4 & H1) – Look for a bearish engulfing, pin bars, or a break of lower highs for strong confirmation. 🔹 Bearish Divergence (Check RSI/ MACD) – If RSI or MACD is showing divergence, this strengthens the bearish case 2️⃣ Risk-Reward & Trade Setup 📍 Entry: Around 1.3244–1.3376 (after confirmation). 🎯 Target: 1.2170 (next major demand zone). ⛔ Stop-Loss: Above 1.3376 (above the resistance zone). ⚖️ Risk-Reward Ratio: Approx 1:3 or better for optimal trade efficiency. 3️⃣ Fundamental & Sentiment Check ✅ DXY Strength: If the US Dollar Index (DXY) is rising, this supports a bearish GBP/USD move. ✅ Interest Rate & Economic Data: Check for upcoming Fed/BoE announcements that could impact GBP/USD. ✅ Market Sentiment: If risk-off sentiment dominates, USD could gain strength, pushing GBP/USD lower.

GBP/USD Trend in US Session🔔🔔 🔔GBP/USD news: 👉According to the CME FedWatch tool, the Federal Reserve (Fed) is almost certain to keep interest rates unchanged in the 4.25%-4.50% range for the second consecutive time. As a result, the key driver for the US dollar will be the Fed's dot plot, which reflects' expectations for the federal funds rate in the medium and long term, along with the Federal Open Market Committee's (FOMC) Summary of Economic Projections (SEP). 👉Analysts at Fitch estimate that the tariff shock could “increase inflationary pressure by one percentage point” in the near term. This scenario would likely prevent Fed officials from cutting interest rates before the final quarter of the year. However, the CME FedWatch tool still indicates that the Fed may implement a rate cut in its June meeting. 👉Meanwhile, the Bank of England (BoE) is expected to maintain its interest rate at 4.5%, with a voting split of 7-2. BoE Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) members Catherine Mann and Swati Dhingra are likely to support a rate cut, while the other seven policymakers are expected to vote to keep rates unchanged. Investors will also closely monitor comments from BoE Governor Andrew Bailey regarding the UK’s economic outlook, particularly in light of US President Donald Trump’s tariff policies. Personal opinion: 👉GBP/USD will trade in a range while awaiting the FOMC 👉Currently, the pair’s RSI is approaching oversold territory and strong support at 1.2942, so a rebound is likely. Everyone pay attention to trading to be able to buy at a bargain price for yourself Analysis: 👉Based on resistance - support levels and Pivot points combined with trend lines and SMA to come up with a suitable strategy Plan: 🔆Price Zone Setup: 👉Buy GBP/USD 1.2945 – 1.2930 ❌SL: 1.2895 | ✅TP: 1.2990 – 1.3020 FM wishes you a successful trading day 💰💰💰

GBP/USD Analysis: Pair Fails to Hold Above Psychological LevelGBP/USD Analysis: Pair Fails to Hold Above Psychological Level As shown in today’s GBP/USD chart, the pair failed to maintain its position above the psychological level of 1.3000 USD per pound, where it had reached its highest point since early 2025. The decline followed recent central bank decisions and statements, with both the Bank of England and the Federal Reserve keeping interest rates unchanged. On one side, the Bank of England: → Warned of inflation risks, partly driven by external factors such as US trade tariffs. → Indicated a potential rate cut in the coming months. On the other hand, the US dollar strengthened on Thursday after the Federal Reserve signalled reluctance to rush further rate cuts this year, despite uncertainties surrounding US tariffs. These statements highlighted the challenges market participants face in assessing the risks posed by tariffs on global trade. Technical Analysis of GBP/USD In March, the pound followed an upward trend against the US dollar, forming an ascending channel (marked in blue). However, once the price moved above the key 1.3000 level, the upper boundary of the channel appeared out of reach—possibly signalling weakening buying momentum. As a result, the price broke below the lower boundary of the channel, which has now shown signs of resistance (indicated by an arrow). If bearish pressure persists, the price could fall towards the dotted trendline below the channel, at a distance equal to its height. Additionally, a test of the previous local low around 1.2911 cannot be ruled out. This article represents the opinion of the Companies operating under the FXOpen brand only.
