GBPUSD InsightHello to all our subscribers, We’re glad to have you here. Please feel free to share your personal opinions in the comments. Don’t forget to hit the booster and subscribe! Key Points - The U.S. and China have reportedly reached a principled agreement on a framework to implement the Geneva Accord. President Trump announced that "all necessary rare earth elements will be supplied by China in a 'prepaid' format," effectively lifting export controls. - The U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI) for May rose by 2.4% year-over-year, falling short of the market forecast of 2.5%. The core CPI also increased by 2.8%, below the expected 2.9%. - The U.K. announced results of its spending review, indicating a 2.3% increase in total government budget. Fiscal concerns triggered a spike in the 10-year gilt yield, which briefly rose to 4.6190%. Major Economic Events This Week + June 12: U.K. April GDP, U.S. May Producer Price Index (PPI) + June 13: Germany May Consumer Price Index (CPI) GBPUSD Chart Analysis The pair has continued its upward momentum supported by a trendline, but it's currently pausing near the 1.36000 level. There’s still potential for a breakout above this resistance, so further observation is needed to determine the direction. If it breaks above the recent high, a mid- to long-term rise toward the 1.40000 level is possible. Conversely, failure to break resistance could lead to a decline toward the 1.32000 level.

GBP/USD Short Play – Anticipating a Smooth 87-Pip DropTime of Analysis: 9:15 PM (Central US) | Current Price: 1.35736 Key Levels: 1.35268 (First Target) → 1.34918 (Final Target) | Retracement Spike: 1.35500 (NY Session) A Strategic Short Ahead of London & NY Session Weakness Based on observed price action and intermarket dynamics, GBP/USD is primed for a controlled descent over the next 12–18 hours, with Tokyo/Sydney sessions laying the groundwork for London’s bearish momentum. Here’s the breakdown: 1. Current Setup & Immediate Catalysts Bearish Continuation Pattern: The pair has shown subtle rejection near 1.35800 (key intraday resistance), with weakening upward momentum. The initial 30-pip drop from the evening high suggests sellers are testing the waters. Tokyo/Sydney Session Role: These sessions often consolidate or extend late NY moves. With USD strength creeping in (e.g., Treasury yields firming, risk-off sentiment in Asia), a slow grind toward 1.35268 is likely before London opens. 2. London Session: The Accelerator European Liquidity Dive: London traders will likely exploit the lack of bullish defense, pushing GBP/USD toward 1.34918. Key factors: Divergence with EUR: If EUR/GBP rallies, GBP/USD suffers compounded selling. UK Data Lull: No major catalysts = technicals dominate. Order Flow Clue: The drop to 1.35268 may trigger stop-loss cascades below 1.35500, fueling the next leg down. 3. New York Session: The Trap Spike Classic NY Fakeout: After a steady decline, NY traders often "test" liquidity with a quick spike (likely 1.35500) before resuming the trend. This would: Trap late shorts chasing the breakdown. Provide a optimal entry for bears targeting sub-1.34900. Fed Shadow: Any USD strength from hawkish Fed whispers (even without news) could cap rebounds. Risk Considerations Bullish Threat: A surprise London headline (e.g., BoE hike chatter) could stall the move, but the technical structure favors downside. Stop Placement: Initial stops above 1.35950 (pre-9:15 PM swing high) for early entries. Adjust to 1.35780 if entering post-Tokyo open. ------------------------------------- Final Call "87 pips or bust." This is a high-probability, slow-burn short with defined targets. Tokyo/Sydney sets the table, London serves the main course, and NY adds the dessert spike before the next leg down. Projected Timeline: Next 6h (Tokyo/Sydney): Drop to 1.35268. London Open (3AM CT): Acceleration to 1.34918. NY Open (7AM CT): Spike to 1.35500, then resumption of selling. Trade smart, trade ruthless.

News Trading - After release📉 News Spike Reversal – GBPUSD & USTEC, 15min This example highlights how the ELFIEDT RSI + 3SD Reversion Strategy can be used to catch sharp pullbacks after a news-driven price spike, using statistically overextended conditions and volume-confirmed exhaustion. 🔻 What Happened Here: 📍 1. Sudden Spike on News Release Both GBPUSD and USTEC experienced a sharp rally — likely due to a high-impact economic release or scheduled news event. This kind of impulsive movement often creates price extensions beyond normal volatility ranges. 📍 2. “DOWN” Signal Triggered on Both Assets As price surged higher, the indicator detected that: Price exceeded the upper statistical band (3SD above the moving average) RSI entered extreme territory Volume activity was significantly elevated This triggered a “DOWN” label on both charts, flagging the area as a potential short-term top. 📍 3. High-Probability Reversal Back Toward the News Origin Zone After the initial spike, both instruments retraced sharply, pulling back into the prior consolidation range — a classic “retest of the news move” often seen when markets overreact and correct shortly after. ✅ How You Could Have Traded It: Watch for news-driven price surges — the strategy is built to detect extreme moves. When the “DOWN” label appears on both instruments around the same time, it adds confluence — this increases conviction in the reversal potential. Look for candle confirmation (e.g., bearish engulfing or long upper wick) to time the entry. Target the origin of the news spike or the prior resistance zone as your first take-profit level. 🔁 Bonus: Multi-Asset Confluence When two different markets react similarly to news and print simultaneous reversal signals, this serves as a strong confidence boost — especially when both RSI readings also begin to reverse from extremes. This dual example shows how the ELFIEDT strategy can help traders avoid emotional trades during news volatility and instead catch logical pullbacks after the dust settles.

The British pound's rebound was blockedThe British pound staged a technical rebound after a sharp decline on Tuesday, trading near 1.35 during the North American session. A day earlier, the exchange rate had retreated amid expectations that the Bank of England (BoE) would continue to cut rates twice within the year, triggered by weak UK labor market data. However, on Wednesday, against the backdrop of the US CPI data falling short of expectations, the US Dollar Index weakened, allowing the pound to rebound. Although the exchange rate has regained the 1.35 threshold currently, if UK economic data continues to be weak, the pound may test support levels at 1.34 or lower again. Humans need to breathe, and perfect trading is like breathing—maintaining flexibility without needing to trade every market swing. The secret to profitable trading lies in implementing simple rules: repeating simple tasks consistently and enforcing them strictly over the long term.
