How to Spot Potential Price Reversals - Part 1: GBPUSD ExampleA subject within technical analysis that many traders find difficult to apply to their day-to-day trading is the ability to spot reversals in price. The misreading of price activity when a reversal is materialising can often lead to incorrect decisions, such as entering a trade too early, which can result in being stopped out of a potentially successful trade before price activity moves in the intended direction. In this piece today, and part 2 tomorrow, we want to look at 2 types of reversal in price – the Head and Shoulders/Reversed Head and Shoulders and the Double Top/Double Bottom. The intention is to help you understand why price activity is reversing and highlight how knowledge of this may be applied within your own individual trading strategies. The Head and Shoulders Pattern This pattern highlights the potential, • reversal of a previous downtrend in price into a more prolonged period of upside strength • reversal of a previous uptrend in price into a phase of weakness In this example, we are going to outline in more detail a bullish reversal in price, which is called a ‘Reversed Head and Shoulders’. Points to Note: Reversed Head and Shoulders • A downtrend in price must have been in place. • A Reversed Head and Shoulders is made up of 3 clear troughs on a price chart. • The middle trough (called the Head) is lower than the 2 outer price troughs (called the Left Hand Shoulder and the Right Hand Shoulder). • The 3rd low in price (Right Hand Shoulder) being higher than the Head, reflects the inability of sellers to be able to break under a previous low in price. This is regarded as a ‘weak test’ of a previous price extreme, suggesting buyers may be gaining the upper hand, readying for a potential positive sentiment shift and price strength. • A trendline connecting highs in price that mark the upper extremes of the Head is drawn. This highlights the Neckline of the pattern, which if broken on a closing basis, completes the reversal, to represent a positive shift in sentiment and the potential of further price strength. Point to Note: To understand a bearish reversal, known as a ‘Head and Shoulders Top’ please simply follow the opposite analysis of what is highlighted above. GBPUSD Example: In the chart below, we look at the recent activity of GBPUSD, which formed a bullish Reversed Head and Shoulders Pattern between December 20th 2024 and February 13th 2025, when the pattern was completed. As with any bullish reversal in price, a clear downtrend and extended price decline must have been seen previously, for the reversal pattern to be valid. On the chart above, this was reflected by the decline from the September 20th 2024 high at 1.3434, into the January 13th price low at 1.2100. The Head and Shoulders pattern is made up of 3 troughs in price and in this example, these are marked by the period between December 30th 2024 to January 7th 2025 which forms the Left Hand Shoulder , between January 7th to February 5th 2025 which was the Head developing , and between February 5th to February 13th 2025, which then formed the Right Hand Shoulder . The Neckline of the pattern is drawn connecting the December 30th 2024 high and the February 5th 2025 highs, which was broken on a closing basis on February 13th 2025. It was on this day, the Reversed Head and Shoulders Pattern was completed with potential then turning towards a more extended phase of price strength. Does the Head and Shoulders offer an Insight into a Potential Price Objective? Yes, it does, by measuring the height from the bottom of the Head to the level of the Neckline at the time that low was posted, we can project this distance higher from the point the neckline was broken. This suggests a possible minimum objective for any future price strength. In the example above, a low of 1.2100 was registered on January 13th 2025, at which time the Neckline stood at 1.2576. This means the height of the Head was 0.0476 (476 pips). On February 13th when the Neckline was broken on a closing basis, the Neckline stood at 1.2529. As such… 1.2529 + 0.0476 = 1.3005, which would be the minimum potential price objective for the Reversed Head and Shoulders. This level was in fact achieved on March 18th 2025. Of course, while the Head and Shoulders pattern is regarded as one of the most reliable patterns within technical analysis, it is not a guarantee of a significant price movement, as much will still depend on future sentiment and price trends. Therefore, if initiating a trade based on a Reversed Head and Shoulders pattern, you must ALWAYS place a stop loss to protect against any unforeseen event or price movement. The stop loss should initially be placed just under the level of the Right Hand Shoulder, as any break of this point negates the pattern, meaning we were wrong to class the pattern as we did. However, if prices rise after completion of the pattern, you can consider moving a stop loss higher, keeping it just under higher support levels to protect your position. We highlighted the formation of the potential GBPUSD reversed Head and Shoulders pattern on February 13th 2025, so please take a look at our timeline for further details.

GBP/USD Technical Analysis – Potential Bearish MoveThis 4-hour GBP/USD chart indicates a potential bearish setup. Price has been trading within a range, with resistance around 1.30366 and support near 1.29467. The price recently retested the support zone, showing signs of weakness. If the support level fails to hold, a breakdown could push the price towards the 1.27035 target. A stronger support level is observed further below, around 1.2600, which could act as a key demand zone. Traders should monitor the price action near the support zone. A clear rejection could signal a potential buy opportunity, while a confirmed breakdown could validate a short trade targeting lower levels.

GBPUSD – Bearish Setup Forming | Fair Value Gap Rejection PlayThe 4H chart on GBP/USD shows a clean bearish market structure, with price currently in a corrective phase after recent downside momentum. A Fair Value Gap (FVG) has been identified between the 1.29700–1.30000 range, which acts as a key supply zone for potential short setups. 📊 Technical Breakdown 1. Fair Value Gap (FVG) A visible imbalance was left after an aggressive bearish move—marked in the yellow zone. Price is expected to retrace into this inefficient zone to fill orders before continuing downward. The anticipated entry for shorts is around 1.29798, near the midpoint of the FVG. 2. Bearish Market Structure Lower highs and lower lows dominate the current structure. The bounce is corrective in nature and lacks momentum, indicating a potential bull trap. Expecting a short-term retracement up to the FVG zone, followed by a continuation to the downside. 3. Target Zone Target: 1.28042 — this level sits just above a previous demand zone, making it a natural TP1. This area also overlaps with previous price reactions, giving it high confluence. 🧠 Trade Idea Entry: ~1.29798 (within the FVG) Target: 1.28042 Risk Management : A stop loss above 1.30000 or above the upper boundary of the FVG to account for false breaks. Rationale: Risk-reward is favorable due to tight invalidation zone and strong downside continuation probability. ⚠️ Key Notes Watch for confirmation at the FVG zone such as bearish engulfing or lower timeframe break of structure. If price breaks above 1.3000 and holds, the idea will be invalidated.

GBP/USD: Weekly Analysis and Key LevelsThis week, the GBP/USD exchange rate has experienced notable fluctuations. As of March 22nd, the pair stood at 1.29114, down 0.00540 (0.42%) from the previous day. The intraday high reached 1.2971, while the low touched 1.2887. On Thursday (March 20th), the Bank of England announced its interest rate decision, keeping the benchmark rate unchanged at 4.5% with an 8-1 vote. Following the announcement, GBP/USD faced brief downward pressure as the central bank did not signal potential rate cuts. However, the pair later regained some ground due to a weakening US dollar index. Closely monitor the breakout of key levels. The area above 1.3010 is a significant resistance level. If the exchange rate can decisively break through and stabilize above this level, consider going long on dips in the short term, targeting 1.3050 or higher. Below, the 1.2860 level is a crucial support zone. If the exchange rate breaks below this level and sustains the move, consider cutting losses or going short on rallies, as further downside potential may open up. Until the exchange rate clearly breaks through or falls below these key levels, it is advisable to remain on the sidelines and wait for clear trend signals to emerge.

GBP/USD Trade Analysis: Bullish Reversal from Support ZoneExponential Moving Averages (EMAs): 200 EMA (Blue) at 1.29309: Represents the long-term trend. 30 EMA (Red) at 1.29122: Represents the short-term trend. Price is currently below both EMAs, suggesting a bearish trend. Support and Resistance Zones: Resistance Zone (Purple at the top): Price previously reacted strongly at this level. Support Zone (Purple at the bottom): A potential demand area where price is currently bouncing. Trade Setup: Entry Point: Near 1.28875 (highlighted on the chart). Stop Loss: Set around 1.28714-1.28856, below the support zone. Target Point: 1.29730, above the resistance and near the 200 EMA. Risk-to-Reward Ratio: The setup aims for a higher reward than risk. Trade Idea: Bullish Reversal Trade: The price is reacting at a support zone, and the target aligns with a previous resistance level. A confirmation (strong bullish candle or break of 30 EMA) could indicate a move toward 1.29730. EMA Crossover Watch: If the 30 EMA crosses above the 200 EMA, it may confirm a stronger uptrend. Potential Risks: If price breaks below 1.28714, the bullish idea is invalid. Resistance at 1.29309 (200 EMA) could slow the move upward.
