USDGBP trade ideas
GBP/USD Pullback PotentialIt took awhile for Cable to finally mount a rally above the 1.3000 handle. That price was resistance multiple times in March, but it wasn't until the next month that prices were able to finally sustain a push above the big figure. It wasn't exactly a clean trend, especially considering the sell-off on April 4th, which broke through a number of supports; but the response that was intense as GBP/USD jumped back-above 1.3000 and ran all the way into 1.3250.
Which presents us with the current scenario...
Wednesday brought an indecision candle right at that psychological level and so far today on Thursday, there's more indecision showing. This doesn't necessarily portend reversal but it does highlight that bulls may want to try to be patient here and look for a pullback.
For support, both the Fibonacci level at 1.3105 and the psychological level at 1.3000 were resistance on the way up but have yet to show support after the breakout. Bulls holding higher-lows at either of those spots keeps the door open for continuation into longer-term resistance around Fibonacci levels at 1.3328 and 1.3414. - js

Gbp/Usd 11-Apr 2025The GBP/USD currency pair has recently shown signs of strength, trading above the 1.30 level. This movement appears to be influenced by a weaker US dollar, which may be attributed to ongoing trade tensions and lower-than-expected US inflation data released yesterday. Additionally, UK GDP figures came in above market forecasts, potentially supporting the pound.
Looking ahead, upcoming US data releases—including PPI, Consumer Sentiment, and Inflation Expectations—may introduce market volatility and impact USD-related pairs.
Possible Price Scenarios (Not Financial Advice):
• If the price revisits the 1.30 level and shows signs of support, this may indicate reduced selling pressure, with a potential move toward the 1.32 level if buying interest returns.
• A move above 1.325—possibly supported by lower-than-expected PPI data—could open the door for a continuation toward the 1.343 region.
• Conversely, if the price breaks below the 1.30 level, the 1.277 area may serve as the next level of interest, where buying activity could potentially emerge.
• Should bearish momentum continue past 1.272, the 1.25 level might become the next key area to monitor for possible price reactions.

The increases caused by the weakening of the US dollarTrump Mulls Firing Fed Chair Powell—Sending Financial Markets into a Tizzy 😱
Multiple sources confirm: Trump is seriously weighing the unprecedented move of ousting Fed Chair Jerome Powell, instantly fueling a storm of speculation 📢. Their long - running feud over monetary policy has reached a boiling point. Trump, via fiery social media rants, has been relentlessly demanding steep rate cuts ⬇️, while Powell stands firm, stressing the importance of data - driven decisions and patiently assessing economic ripples before pulling the policy lever 📈.
Trump has his eye on former Fed governor Kevin Warsh as the ideal replacement, but Warsh himself is sounding the alarm 🚨, urging against the risky firing. The catch? There’s zero legal precedent for a president axing a Fed chair mid - term. Powell’s response? A staunch defense of the Fed’s independence, emphasizing that policy should be a fortress shielded from political crosswinds 💪.
Inside the White House, it’s a battlefield of opinions. Treasury Secretary Mnuchin, a fierce defender of the Fed’s autonomy, likens its independence to a precious jewel ⭐️ that must be safeguarded. But other advisors are gunning for a showdown, challenging Powell’s authority head - on. This high - stakes power play isn’t just shaking US markets—it’s sending shockwaves across the global financial stage 🌐.
Adding to the concerns, if Trump's actions lead to significant disruptions in the Fed's decision - making process, it could very well trigger a weakening of the US dollar. Uncertainty around monetary policy can erode confidence in the currency. A lack of clear, stable leadership at the Fed, should Powell be removed, might make investors skittish. They could start moving their funds elsewhere, causing a sell - off of the dollar. Moreover, if the Fed, under new leadership more compliant with Trump's wishes, were to cut rates drastically in an attempt to boost the economy as Trump desires, it could lead to inflationary pressures. Higher inflation typically devalues a currency, further contributing to a weaker dollar. With so much at stake, the outcome could rewrite the rulebook for US economic policy ⚖️. Stay tuned!

Unpopular facts:
Win rate doesn't matter, in the end it always
comes down to how much you win versus how
much you lose. You can have high win rate
with little profits and one big loss to ruin all.
Regardless of win rate, the better trader you are
