GBP/USD Analysis : Bearish Trend, Technicals, and Upcoming NewsGBP/USD is currently in a bearish trend, supported by two key technical indicators - the breakdown of an uprising channel and a bearish crossover of the 50-period Simple Moving Average (SMA) below the 100-period SMA. Traders should be aware of the potential impact of tonight's FOMC and Thursday's BOE interest rate decisions, which could introduce volatility and potentially invalidate the current analysis.
Technical Analysis:
Bearish Trend:
GBP/USD has broken below an uprising channel, signaling a shift in trend dynamics.
The 50-period SMA has crossed below the 100-period SMA, confirming the bearish sentiment.
Entry Point:
Consider entering a short position in the bearish dynamic yellow zone, where the price may encounter resistance.
Activation Condition:
The signal activation condition is breaking below the key psychological level at 1.2500. A confirmed break below this level would further support the bearish bias.
Stop-Loss (SL):
Place the stop-loss just above the green horizontal line, acting as a key resistance level. This helps manage potential upside risk.
Take Profit (TP):
Set the take-profit target near the red horizontal line, representing a significant support level.

GBP/USD Faces Short-Term Volatility with Long-Term Bullish AnticThe GBP/USD pair is poised for a pivotal phase as a slew of significant macroeconomic events unfolds. Investors are preparing for crucial data releases from both the UK and the US, anticipating their impact on the currency pair's trajectory. This week and the following promise to be defining periods, with market attention drawn to pivotal reports and interest rate decisions.
The looming US nonfarm payrolls report and forthcoming CPI data, alongside interest rate verdicts from the Federal Reserve and Bank of England, stand as key markers for the GBP/USD. These events could profoundly sway market sentiment and currency valuation. Notably, the pair has closely mirrored stock market movements, aligning with the rally in major indexes during November.
Despite recent US market pauses, the DAX's continued ascent suggests a prevailing bullish trend in stocks. This trend may bolster the GBP/USD once profit-taking abates, potentially outweighing short-term volatility arising from impending macro events.
In recent trading sessions, the US Dollar Index slightly receded against various currencies, particularly the Japanese yen, following speculation about a potential shift in the Bank of Japan's policy. However, the dollar's overall direction remains uncertain pending the US jobs report, CPI data, and the Federal Open Market Committee meeting.
Market indicators suggest investor readiness for a subdued NFP figure, possibly resulting in a stronger dollar if the data remains moderate. However, sustained risk appetite could prompt a sell-off of any notable dollar rally in favor of risk-sensitive currencies like commodity dollars and the pound.
Regarding immediate data releases, expectations for today's jobless claims are subdued, likely maintaining the GBP/USD in a holding pattern ahead of the pivotal US nonfarm payrolls report on Friday.
From a technical perspective, the GBP/USD's upward trajectory since October, with higher highs and lows, indicates a bullish trend. Key support levels around 1.2550 and 1.2500 present potential bullish setups, with 1.2450 marking a critical threshold for a potential bearish reversal.

EURUSD - Short/Long SignalEURUSD H8
We might not have highlighted this particular trade yesterday, as our attention was primarily on AUD/USD and GBP/USD. It's worth noting that EUR/USD tends to exhibit a pattern more closely aligned with GBP/USD than with AUD/USD. Despite this, we've observed a significant upward spike, and we've identified a promising setup for a new long order. Today's developments will reveal whether this opportunity is one we can capitalize on.
GBPUSD BULLISH MARKET PROJECTIONThe Cable broke out of a Range structure and we can be expecting bullish rally at least to the high of the RANGE STRUCTURE before the overall high.

Is The Cable Going Bearish Again...?On the 1 hour, we have seen how the market has danced back and forth in the past few days.
In our last analysis from yesterday, we noticed a strong threat by the bulls to invalidate our zone. The zone was finally invalidated and the bulls took over without giving us a chance to take the trade to the downside.
Following the bullish shift, we witnessed the market stay bullish for a very short term as it again u-turned bearish with the invalidation of our 1 hour zone and PB. It would be safe to say that the seeming bullishness was nothing but the market aiming to make a deeper retracement on the 4 hour timeframe.
THe 4 hour chart is still bearish and we expect prices to switch into the extension swing and stay so. With the 1 hour now aligning bearish with the 4 hour, we are confident the extension is here and that prices will ultimately begin to dip towards our liquidity target below.
We will look to catch this bearish trade and milk the market as it moves towards our target.
Cable Next Resistance Level Is @ 1.27000!GBPUSD closed above another daily swing high, may likely targeting above 1.27000.

GBPUSD H4 Structure Is Bullish Into NFP, What Happens After?Since Oct 26, cable has been exhibiting a bullish structure, and with the Non-Farm Payrolls later today, will this structure persist or face a shift?
While a temporary dip in prices may occur, it appears unlikely that the overall bullish trend will be disrupted.

Still Holding Bearish... But for How Long...?This pair is bearish on the 1 hour and the 4 hour. We choose to limit ourselves to just the 4 and 1 hour charts for now; those are the charts we will be considering the most when taking our trades.
On the 4-hour, we found a bearish push last week, and we were able to catch a bearish trade. We have held on to that position till now, believing that the market still has a bearish trend.
On the 1 hour, we see the market in a bearish PB. The current bullish push has not been able to overthrow the bearish setup. We can see from the charts that the bullish push has come deep into our refined PB zone. We agree that the zone is threatened, but it is still yet to be breached. Until our Bearish zone is breached, we cannot say the bulls have taken over, and as such, we will still hold on to our bearish perspective.
Now for the further analysis:
We hope to see the bearish zone hold. Where it holds, prices are expected to drop bearish toward the 1-hour liquidity target.
Where our expectations fail, we will see our zone breached. In that circumstance, we hope to see prices soar higher for a bit to give us a deeper retracement into the 4 hour PB. From there, we will hope to see a deeper retracement reversal, after which the market will be expected to run the 4 hour liquidity target below.
GBPUSD D1 - LONG SIGNALGBPUSD D1
We had this markup last week, we took a loss on the trending setup, but we bounced 1.5R from that 1.21 handle, which we are now sitting on again.
Same as before, don't fix it unless it's broken, in the case DXY starts to reject that 106.500 (as per the analysis), we could expect 1.21 to hold and get off the ground again.

Investor bailout on CableA very prominent reversal is spotted on GBPUSD considering the following:
1- Head and shoulders appeared as a reversal structure which is an indication that long positions are being closed i.e. GBP might start to lose the battle against USD.
2- Broken lower trendline indicating a shifting bias to downside.
3- We are still stuck inside the daily tf ichimoku cloud, it has not indicated a reversal yet.
4- Last two monthly candles were a bearish engulfing after a shooting star (inverted hammer) i.e. trend converting to bear
What to expect?
1- I have marked a few structure based targets. First of them is 1.2310 which is the target of the head and shoulders as per the definition.
2- The extended target of head and shoulders 1.1802 is actually a support line based on historic response of the zone.
3- The yellow target box is the all time low marked by cable in the history, there is a chance to nail perfect double bottoms there unless it breaks low further.
4- The retracement levels sketched on the chart are the basic fibonacci levels. I am quite sure you already know how to interpret them.
When is this idea invalid?
1- If the price blows the top at 1.3140.
2- Head and shoulders are invalid if price breaks higher than 1.2820 but that does not invalidate the trend bias as long as 1.3140 is intact. Should head and shoulders invalidate, look for the rejection from the retest of the red trendline to sell again. It is important to have a prominent rejection!
Best of luck and happy trading :-)
$Dollar bears?!TVC:DXY Dollar bears may come into control swiftly if we break down within this channel, reaching the red support zones. However, while we are still within the amber zone, patience.
Whilst analysing the dollar, think of other currency pairs such as £.
Ignoring the outside noise and concentrating on price action is key at this moment in time.

GBPUSD: Bullish reaction is coming?Although we cannot yet rule out a new bottom on daily chart, from a technical point of view, we are approaching an interesting support area, and this should trigger a bullish reaction on the pair. That said, our short-term view is bullish and we will follow the development in the next few hours on intraday chart (Reversal Pattern formation is necessary to trigger the rally).

GBPUSD - Long/Short Trade IdeaMy bias is still lower prices for now (refer to my higher-timeframe ideas). However, am interested to see if these trade ideas play out, at least one of them. What is important to me is the day of week, and the time of day, engineered liquidity, along with any scheduled economic news drivers.
GBPUSD D1 | Falling to Fibo confluence supportGBP/USD is falling towards a pullback support and could potentially bounce off this level to climb higher.
Buy entry is at 1.20707 which is a pullback support that aligns with a confluence of Fibonacci levels i.e. the 78.6% retracement and the 127.2% extension levels.
Stop loss is at 1.18248 which is a swing-low support level.
Take profit is at 1.23087 which is a pullback resistance level.
