GBP/USD Weekly Plan – 8th to 12th July 2025The British Pound is testing the upper range of its recent rally, just below a high-liquidity supply zone near 1.37898. While short-term bullish momentum remains intact, both the technical structure and upcoming macro events point towards a potential midweek reversal. 📉 Technical Breakdown – H4 Chart Price has completed a full impulsive leg and is approaching a key supply zone (1.37703–1.37898), aligning with weekly highs. Previous CHoCH + BOS formations show buyer strength, but recent rejections indicate exhaustion. Liquidity sits below at 1.35013 and 1.33927, making downside targets attractive for short setups. 🔁 Trade Setups ✅ SELL GBP/USD Entry: 1.37703 Stop Loss: 1.38000 TP1: 1.37100 TP2: 1.36513 TP3: 1.35013 Rationale: Selling into weak high and potential liquidity trap. Expecting rejection from the top of the weekly range. ✅ BUY GBP/USD Entry: 1.33927 Stop Loss: 1.33600 TP1: 1.34500 TP2: 1.35237 TP3: 1.36900 Rationale: Buying from a strong demand zone and order block with FVG confluence. Clean upside potential if market respects structure. 🧠 Macro Context – What to Watch 🇬🇧 GBP Drivers: BOE Governor Bailey Speaks (Twice this week) – May offer clarity on future monetary stance. 🇺🇸 USD Drivers: Fed Chair Powell Speaks – Markets watching for tone on rate path. NFP Jobs Report (Friday) – Forecast: 147K. A strong figure could support USD. Unemployment Claims / Rate – A key pair of metrics for short-term dollar moves. 🧩 A hawkish Fed tone + strong NFP = stronger USD → pressure on GBP/USD. 📊 Key Zones Zone Role Notes 1.37898 Weekly High Strong resistance + sell-side liquidity trap 1.37703 Sell Entry Within supply zone 1.33927 Buy Entry Order block + FVG zone, ideal reversal zone 1.35013 Major Target Previous BOS zone and liquidity below structure ⚠️ Strategy Guidance Wait for confirmations on H1–H4 (CHoCH / FVG rejection). Avoid new positions 1 hour before or after red-folder events (e.g., NFP, Bailey speech). Trailing SL recommended once TP1 is reached.

GBP/USD - Day Trading Analysis With Volume ProfileOn GBP/USD, it's nice to see a strong sell-off from the price of 1.37000. It's also encouraging to observe a strong volume area where a lot of contracts are accumulated. I believe that sellers from this area will defend their short positions. When the price returns to this area, strong sellers will push the market down again. Strong S/R zone from the past and Volume cluster are the main reasons for my decision to go short on this trade. Happy trading, Dale

GBP/USD Potential Shorts from 1.37000This week, my analysis for GBP/USD focuses on the continuation of the bearish order flow. I currently have a clean 16-hour supply zone that remains unmitigated, where we may see a potential bearish reaction in alignment with the prevailing downtrend. If price breaks through this zone, I will shift focus to an extreme 2-hour supply zone higher up. There are several imbalances and pools of liquidity resting below that serve as potential downside targets. Additionally, I’m noticing the formation of engineered liquidity beneath current price, which further supports the bearish outlook. Confluences for GBP/USD Sells: The U.S. Dollar has reacted from a strong demand zone, suggesting we could see continued bullish pressure on the dollar, which may weigh on GBP/USD. GBP/USD has shown a clear change of character to the downside, confirming bearish market structure—this is a pro-trend trade setup. We have both a clean 16-hour and an extreme 2-hour supply zone, offering high-probability entry points for potential shorts. Multiple liquidity targets below, including Asia session lows and unfilled imbalances, align well with the bearish narrative. P.S. My next potential long opportunity lies at the 6-hour demand zone near 1.34400. From there, I’ll be watching for price to slow down, accumulate orders, and potentially shift structure to the upside. Wishing everyone a successful and profitable trading week!

GBPUSD → Correction before the bullish trend continuesFX:GBPUSD is forming a trading range for consolidation of potential ahead of a possible continuation of growth as part of a countertrend correction. The dollar is trying to recover from its decline due to a local change in the fundamental background, but the global trend for the DXY is bearish. This could provide support for the GBP to continue growing, provided that the bulls hold their defense above the 0.5 Fibonacci zone of the main impulse movement. The market is holding GBPUSD within the trading range of 1.359 - 1.3675. The trend is bullish, and within the correction, liquidity may be captured from 1.359 before further growth. Resistance levels: 1.3675, 1.3764 Support levels: 1.359, 1.3511 If the reaction to the subsequent retest of support at 1.359 is weak, we can consider a continuation of the correction to the 0.7-0.79 Fibonacci zone, which would be the most favorable entry point for us (focus on 1.3511 — a false breakout will increase interest in buying). In the current situation, the focus is on 1.359. Best regards, R. Linda!

GBP/USD : First Long, Then SHORT! (READ THE CAPTION)By analyzing the GBP/USD chart on the 4-hour timeframe, we can see that the price is currently trading around 1.3625. I expect a new Fair Value Gap (FVG), formed by the recent sharp drop, to be filled soon. The first target for this potential move is 1.3650, with the next bullish zone between 1.3670 and 1.3730. Supply and demand zones are marked on the chart — keep a close eye on how the price reacts to these key levels!

GBP/USD30 Mins Frame 🧠 Technical Overview: Price is currently testing a strong resistance zone after a gradual upward movement, with signs of a potential bearish reversal. A rising wedge pattern is forming — typically a bearish reversal pattern, especially if broken to the downside. 🧩 Key Technical Elements: 1. Supply Zone: Defined between 1.3675 and 1.3717 — a previously strong resistance area. Price is currently facing rejection within this zone, showing weakening bullish momentum. 2. Entry Point: Sell at 1.36560, triggered by rejection from the resistance zone and a potential breakdown below the ascending support (blue line). 3. Stop Loss: 1.37177, placed above the supply zone — a logical level that invalidates the bearish setup if reached. 4. Targets: First Target: 1.35602 – a clear previous support level and logical profit-taking zone. Second Target: 1.34207 – a stronger, more significant support zone, likely to be tested if bearish momentum continues. 📉 Expected Price Action: The chart shows a weak rising wedge pattern, indicating potential buyer exhaustion. A break below the ascending trendline (blue) may trigger strong downside movement. The expected move is illustrated with the red arrow on the chart, indicating a bearish trajectory. 🔥 Risk-to-Reward Ratio (R:R): First Target: Potential Reward: ~95 pips Risk (SL): ~61 pips → R:R ≈ 1.56:1 Second Target: Potential Reward: ~235 pips → R:R ≈ 3.85:1 ✅ Very favorable, especially toward the second target. ✅ Conclusion: The short setup is technically valid and supported by price structure and resistance confirmation. The supply zone has proven strong, and price is struggling to break above it. A solid trade opportunity for short- to medium-term traders with clearly defined risk and reward.

Political Uncertainty, Dollar Weakness & A Projected CorrectionDespite being a technical trader, there are some fundamental factors floating in the background of today's trading idea. 1) We saw weakness on the GBP today due to some political uncertainty & investors having concerns over the stability of the UK's leadership and economic direction. 2) We saw a drop in the ADP Non-Farm Employment Change for the US Dollar today which is starting to look like a trend rather than a one-off. Why this is important is because, despite the very bearish day that the FX:GBPUSD had today, I don't think the GBP reaction is as relevant as it's shown and I do think the USD is weaker than it's shown on this particular chart, due to the reactions that we've seen on other crosses. All in all, that this means is that I wouldn't be shocked to see today's move corrected and price is at the perfect technical level to do just that. If you have any questions, comments or opinions, please don't hesitate to leave them below. Akil
