ascending broadening wedge in GBPUSDThe weekly candles on GBPUSD point to a clear ascending broadening wedge pattern. The last wave reached the price of 1.3220, which corresponds to the upper boundary of the wedge pattern. I expect another bearish wave to start soon and reach at least the 1.28 area.

UK Housing Market Lifts GBP/USD Amid Social UnrestGBPUSD – technical overview
Signs have emerged of the market wanting to put in a longer-term base after collapsing to a record low in September 2022. The door is now open for the next major upside extension towards the 2023 high at 1.3143. Any setbacks should be well supported ahead of 1.2500.

GBPUSD – fundamental overview
The Pound was still struggling on Wednesday from all the social unrest in the UK. However, we did see some demand on the back of UK house prices rising the most since January. Key standouts on Thursday’s calendar come from US initial jobless claims, wholesale inventories, and some Fed speak.

$GBP - What shall we do now?$GBP - What shall we do now?
GBP - Since we hit below 1.14 - 1.10 it's really been a one way for this pair and it could continue...However, we have options!
1 Emergency rate hike
2 Intervention
3 IMF
4 Fiscal spending
5 Swap Lines
Now these are the options technically speaking we filled gap around 1.09 this morning, I expected 1.06 on table during open we hit lows of 1.03... Now, if we can hold the levels of these levels and perhaps go above 1.09 then no worries. However, if we carry on with these moves then things will get very interesting and keep an eye on the Gilt & FTSE!
Now it all looks very dismal when it comes towards headlines but actually there are coming amazing investment opportunities the prices we are getting and of course if you're in USA, what a great time for you to visit! For Candle stick traders - dragon fly!
Keep alert of what happens next, this week we have a lot speakers out of CB's and most importantly trade your plan!

GBP/USD Continues Downtrend, Aligns with Supply ForecastGBP/USD has extended its decline after reaching our predicted supply area, as outlined in our previous analysis. (Link below.)
Prolonged Downtrend Expected
The current trend suggests that the price may continue to fall over the next few months, potentially reaching the demand area around 1.24 before experiencing a new bullish impulse. This aligns with our forecast, anticipating a bearish phase until October.
Anticipation of Monetary Policy Announcements
Traders are awaiting key monetary policy announcements from the Federal Reserve on Wednesday and the Bank of England on Thursday. These events are expected to inject fresh volatility into the market, possibly pushing GBP/USD even lower.
Market Sentiment and Indices
Meanwhile, the UK's FTSE 100 Index has dipped by 0.3%, while US stock index futures are trading marginally higher, reflecting a cautious market stance.
Strategy and Outlook
Given these conditions, we maintain our bearish outlook and continue to hold our short position, anticipating further downward movement in GBP/USD.

Hedge Funds' Sterling Bet: A Risky Gamble?A surge in bullish bets on the British pound sterling by hedge funds and other asset managers has ignited concerns about a potential market upheaval. Aggressive positioning on the currency has reached a 10-year high, leaving it vulnerable to a sharp correction should the Bank of England (BoE) decide to cut interest rates this week.
The data, sourced from the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, reveals a dramatic increase in net-long positions on sterling over the past month. This bullish sentiment has been fueled by a combination of factors, including relatively high interest rates, signs of economic improvement, and the perceived stability of the UK government. As a result, the pound has gained nearly 1% against the US dollar since the start of the year and reached a one-year high earlier this month.
However, the market's optimism may be misplaced. The BoE's monetary policy decision on Thursday remains a significant uncertainty, with market pricing indicating an equal chance of a rate hike or a cut. If the central bank opts to lower interest rates to stimulate economic growth, it could have a severe impact on the pound.
The heightened bullish sentiment among investors has created a scenario where even a hint of dovishness from the BoE could trigger a rapid unwinding of positions and a sharp decline in sterling.
The potential for a significant market correction has prompted concerns among analysts and investors. Some argue that the current level of bullishness is excessive and that the market is underpricing the risk of a rate cut. They caution that a sudden shift in sentiment could lead to significant losses for those holding long positions on the pound.
As the market awaits the BoE's decision, volatility is expected to remain high. The outcome of the meeting will undoubtedly have far-reaching consequences for the pound and the broader global financial markets. If the central bank surprises the market with a rate cut, it could be a wake-up call for investors who have become overly complacent about the currency's prospects.
Ultimately, the recent surge in bullish sterling bets highlights the inherent risks of relying on market consensus. While past performance is not indicative of future results, the current level of optimism surrounding the pound raises questions about the sustainability of the currency's strength. As the old adage goes, "buy low, sell high," but in this case, investors may be finding themselves on the wrong side of the trade.
GBP/USD to Track 100-MA Slope? GBP/USD to Track 100-MA Slope?
On Wednesday, GBP/USD traders will focus on the UK's July Manufacturing and Services PMI, expected to show slight increases.
Although, more significant events will come from the U.S., including the annualized Q2 2024 GDP and the PCE Price Index.
The Fed's preferred inflation gauge likely cooled in June, suggesting its efforts to curb prices are working, potentially paving the way for rate cuts in September.
Markets expect the Fed to maintain the federal funds rate next week but anticipate a cut in September, according to the CME Group's FedWatch tool.
GBP/USD extends the decline from the monthly high (1.3045), pulling the Relative Strength Index (RSI) back from overbought territory. It found support after briefly easing below 1.29 and may track the positive slope in the 100-period SMA.

GBPUSD Outlook: Upside Potential and Critical Support LevelsGBPUSD – technical overview
Signs have emerged of the market wanting to put in a longer-term base after collapsing to a record low in September 2022. The door is now open for the next major upside extension towards the 2023 high at 1.3143. Any setbacks should be well supported ahead of 1.2000.

GBPUSD – fundamental overview
The Pound slumped on Tuesday after retailers reported slower sales. Meanwhile, the Labour government's immediate push for an increase in the minimum wage was also seen steepening the Gilt curve. Absence of first tier data on Wednesday’s calendar will leave the focus on another round of Fed Chair testimony and some Fed speak.

Is It End Road for the BEARS...?Hey Guys!
On the larger timeframe of the Monthly, Weekly and Daily, we see this market is bearish.
Over the past few days leading into weeks, we have seen the market gravitate to the north to reach higher prices. We are tempted to believe that all of that bullishness was to drive the market into our expected bullish reversal zone.
Market price is currently inside our Daily zone. We are looking to see reversals.
Where that happens, we will look to trade bearish.
In the unlikely event that the market breaks our zone and clears our protected high, we will deem come to the conclusion that the bearish of the daily chart is over, and we will look to trade Bullish on the Daily.
Until then, we will hold on to our bearish perspective.
GBPUSD H8 - Sell SignalGBPUSD H8
Converse to AUDUSD analysis above. We also have the likes of GBPUSD here in front of us, where we have seen a rejection from 1.28500 price, a half number acting as resistance. If we look to the left on this chart, on June 12, you'll notice and aggressive selloff. This formed an attractive area of supply.
We have a few confluence in and around this 1.28500 price, so it's certainly a zone to keep an eye on for USD strength resumption. A double top on 1.28500 could be a great sell signal.
Are We Bearish on the 4 Hour Chart...?On the lower timeframe, we have seen a great deal of bullishness. But all of this bullishness on the lower timeframe of the 1 hour has been seen as a move to drive the market into our earlier marked out 4 hour reversal zone.
Market is currently in our reversal zone, and we are seeing some signs of reversals. We will wait for a confirmation of the reversal to enable us jump in on it.
It is expected that our zone will hold, the market will reverse, and we will see lower prices printed.
Our target on the downside is the 4 hour liquidity target at 1.06657
GBP/AUD H4 | Bearish Momentum PersistsGBP/AUD is rising towards a pullback resistance and could potentially reverse off this level to drop lower.
Sell entry is at 1.9042 which is a pullback resistance and the presence of the bearish Ichimoku cloud highlights the bearish momentum.
Stop loss is at 1.9090 which is a level that sits above the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level and a pullback resistance.
Take profit is at 1.8909 which is a multi-swing-low support.
