GBP/USD: Downtrend Holds Firm, Key Support in SightThe GBP/USD pair is trading around 1.2557, maintaining its downward trajectory as it fails to reclaim the resistance level at 1.2592. The pair continues to face selling pressure, with the prevailing downtrend keeping momentum in favor of the bears. Immediate focus now shifts to the critical support zone near 1.2500, where some temporary buying interest may emerge. However, a break below this level could pave the way for further declines toward 1.2450, with the broader target potentially at 1.2400. Any short-term pullbacks into the resistance range of 1.2592–1.2650 are expected to attract renewed selling pressure. The 50-period moving average also reinforces this zone as a significant barrier to any bullish attempts. With bearish momentum firmly in control, GBP/USD presents opportunities for sellers to capitalize on short positions while monitoring for key breakouts below the 1.2500 support level.

GBPUSDThe USD has been dominating across all USD pairs, driven by positive economic news out of the US and weaker numbers from the EU. The question is whether this momentum will continue, leading to further downside for pairs like GBP/USD and EUR/USD, or if we'll witness a complete USD dump as we head into 2025. Interestingly, many retail traders are looking for long positions, believing that GBP and EUR are oversold. The big question is: Will large institutions take advantage of this sentiment, potentially trapping retail traders before continuing the downtrend?

a clear vision why i take trade that i might lossSo let's talk. So basically, I believe if you know the price going own or up you can follow it. But to mark it you need a high and low. Just like that but the hard part is to find the high and low. o if you find a higher time frame high or low. You can see the market going up or down. I find the higher time frame high I suppose and by finding it I can find the market direction. But I am not talking about an entry in the HTF. So I am taking ltf entry ( not verification). In every impulse move of HTF, there is a lower time frame trend. So I am trading the LTF trend. in this case a downtrend. But the trick part is, if I fail the LTF entry I will short based on the HTF downtrend. So you can see the marking is all LTF. Enjoy my 50:50 trade were I didn't verify the LTF entry using a 3 or 1 minute time frame.

GBP/USD Longs from this weekly demand This week, my analysis suggests that GU is likely to experience a bullish reaction from its current position. Price is sitting within a key weekly demand zone and has already surpassed the 50% retracement mark, signaling a potential area for long opportunities. At the current level, there is a 1-hour demand zone nearby, with another demand zone just below it. I plan to watch for price accumulation in these areas, particularly to take out the weekly low. Once that occurs, I’ll look for my lower time frame confirmation to enter long positions. My primary target will be the Asian session high near the supply zone above. Confluences for GBP/USD Longs: - Liquidity Targets: Significant liquidity rests above, including the Asian session high. - Supply Zone Mitigation: A strong supply zone above has yet to be mitigated. - Retracement Setup: The bearish trend suggests the need for a retracement upward. - Imbalances Above: Price has left clear imbalances that need to be filled. - Weekly Demand Zone: Price is currently reacting within a high-probability weekly demand area. P.S.: If price opens the week with bullish momentum but doesn’t provide a clear entry setup, I’ll shift my focus to the mitigation of the supply zone above. This would present potential sell opportunities to continue the broader bearish trend.

Sell Idea on GBP/USDThe GBP/USD pair is showing bearish pressure after rejecting the resistance level at 1.2300. The formation of lower highs and the break below the 1.2200 support level indicate potential continuation of the downtrend. 🔹 Technical Analysis: The 1.26000 level is acting as a strong resistance zone. The RSI indicator is below 50, supporting bearish momentum. 🔹 Key Notes: Ensure proper risk management with a risk-to-reward ratio of at least 1:2. Watch for key economic events related to GBP and USD that could impact this pair. This idea is for educational purposes only, and trading decisions are the responsibility of the trader.

GBPUSD SHORTWe remain strongly bearish on GBP/USD, and the pair is expected to continue its downward movement next week. USD news is likely to come in relatively strong, putting additional pressure on GBP/USD. Moreover, economic uncertainty in the UK, combined with the global geopolitical situation, is making GBP/USD even weaker. Last week, I highlighted that GBP/USD was heading lower while many anticipated an upward move. I see the same pattern unfolding this week. Stop trying to catch a reversal—stick to the trend and align with the fundamentals.
