GBPJPY: Imbalance & False Breakout 🇬🇧🇯🇵
Feels like we have a good example of stop hunt and imbalance on GBPJPY.
The market is consolidating within a horizontal range on a daily.
We saw a breakout attempt of its support in the morning
and the market was even trading beyond that for some time.
However, then we see a formation of a bullish engulfing candle - the imbalance.
It makes me think that this bearish move was simply a manipulation.
I expect a growth now to 182.3 level.
❤️Please, support my work with like, thank you!❤️
GBPCHF: Retest incoming, then downWe've broken out of a long-standing sideways channel to the lower side, now bouncing off support to retest the broken channel.
I'm expecting a big dump in this paid once the retest is complete, UK economy vs Swiss economy, interest yields etc, no comparison.
The Swiss has been a stand-out performer against most crosses this year, GBP has been clinging on but I think we'll drop again soon.
Pound H1 | Rising into resistanceThe Pound (GBP/USD) is rising towards a pullback resistance and could potentially reverse off this level to drop lower.
Sell entry is at 1.21061 which is a pullback resistance.
Stop loss is at 1.21680 which is a level that sits above the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level and an overlap resistance.
Take profit is at 1.20371 which is a swing-low support.

GBPUSD: Expecting a bounce from hereLooking at this pair and comparing it to the DXY index I think there's more likely to be a bounce from here, than a further bearish extension.
DXY is failing to break a descending dynamic trendline, it's currently retesting again and showing signs of rejection. Fundamentals were good for DXY today but the price didn't react as I would have expected, which suggests the bears are strong here.
GBP showing a nice bullish pinbar on the 4HR today (even though this was followed by a bearish one following rejection from resistance), we're now back down to this region as a retest but has slowed.
I may be wrong, but with GBP rejecting support and DXY rejecting resistance, we could see a nice strong move, watching LTF's for my entry, target 1.225 to retest the descending dynamic trendline that stopped yesterday's advance - we may breach this on this occasion, if we do I'm noting an uptrend (HH's and HL's) on higher timeframes.
GBPUSD: Rejection at descending trendlineWe saw GBPUSD spike today following the favourable employment news and then reject the descending trendline (confirmed with doji and then rejection). Fundamentally there has been negative PMI data (manufacturing was green but still below 50) to support my view, so I think the bigger downtrend will continue.
I also don't believe the USD is done yet, it will remain strong due to current International conflict, the risk this brings and the need for dollars.
Keeping a close eye as always on the fundamentals this week, but if we breach 1.2165 - 1.250 (yesterdays support area) then we should hit my target area.
GBPJPY H4 | Rising into resistanceGBPJPY is rising towards a pullback resistance and could potentially reverse off this level to drop lower.
Sell entry is at 184.257 which is a pullback resistance that aligns close to the 78.6% Fibonacci retracement level.
Stop loss is at 185.900 which is a level that sits above a swing-high resistance.
Take profit is at 181.398 which is a pullback support level.

GBPUSD: Retracement, maybe reversal?Been watching this pair closely and made some good pips in the past week, however I got spooked last night and closed my sells (albeit 50 pips too early), but my calculation seemed to be broadly right.
To me it's looking like a fake out below my support line and back through this resistance which is being retested but I think we're going back up.
USD not flying as I think it should (and has previously) with conflict, I think we'll see some retracement in DXY which will benefit this pair, it's been too bullish for too long imho and I believe we'll see profit taking.
GBP nailed on I think to raise rates again this month following the hanging of inflation data yesterday.
This will benefit XXXUSD crosses in forex, commodities and indices.
I'm only expecting this to retrace to the descending trendline for now which will be my TP.
GBPUSD NEXT MOVESticky UK CPI earlier this week was not enough to maintain the pound’s turnaround as geopolitical tensions in the Middle East remains the dominant theme at present. Diplomatic efforts to address the conflict have since been diminished after a hospital explosion, stoking pressures within the region between Israel and Hamas. The safe haven US dollar will draw greater attention in this environment but the address by Fed Chair Jerome Powell later today (see economic calendar below) will be the focus for cable.

GBPUSD: Bearish continuation, setting up for a nice drop?Expecting another hike from the FED in November, supported by hawkish comments across the board to focus on reducing inflation to 2%, this is supported by positive data.
Real yields (bond yield - inflation) are positive for the dollar, they're negative for GBP and EUR.
We may still see another hike from BoE but the economy is in a mess. Need to watch for US Inflation data and UK GDP data this week.
Saw a nice bounce on this pair Friday but I think the fall will continue down to around 1.20, so waiting for a rejection from resistance on the LTF's and will then get in.

GBP/USD: Bearish Momentum Continues, Watch for Oversold BounceThe British pound fell to a new record low against the US dollar on Wednesday, October 18, 2023, after the Bank of England raised interest rates by 0.75 percentage points, but signaled that it may slow the pace of hikes in the coming months. This suggests that the BoE is more concerned about a recession than about inflation, which could lead to further weakness in the pound.
Other factors weighing on the pound include the ongoing political uncertainty in the UK and the prospect of a prolonged economic slowdown. The UK economy is already facing a number of headwinds, including high inflation, rising energy costs, and labor shortages. A recession in the UK would likely lead to a further weakening of the pound.

GBPAUD: Breakout of support and dynamic trendlineWe've had a breakout of both support and descending dynamic trendline with no retest, which I'm expecting.
I can't see us retesting the dynamic trendline so considering shorts on the LTF's when we return to the resistance (formerly support) line.
Expecting Aussie strength and Pound weakness, we may go higher with the interest rate decision from the BoE this week (so if I'm in a trade I'll often pull out before the news or at least get the SL tighter as oscillation often reduces in the few hours before the news), so will be on guard for this, however I don't think we'll break back into the rising trend.
