GBPUSD Breaks Out – Is 1.40 Next?

336
In my previous analysis, I highlighted that GBPUSD was trading in a strong resistance zone and warned of a potential correction toward the sub-1.31 support area.

While we did see a brief correction, bears lacked follow-through, and the pair reversed from 1.3136, never quite reaching the expected support zone.

🚀 Break Confirmed – Bulls in Control

After bouncing from just above the support zone at 1.3136, GBPUSD began to consolidate and build pressure right under the key resistance area.

That build-up acted as a launchpad, and now we have a clean breakout, with price trading well above 1.35, currently around 1.3577.

This is a genuine breakout, following a textbook sequence: rejection above support, tight consolidation, and then a decisive push higher — all favoring continuation to the upside.

🎯 What’s Next?

The next obvious target is the psychological level at 1.40, which aligns with previous key levels and the overall momentum.

📊 Trading Plan:

The strategy remains simple: buying dips is preferred.
The 1.3450 area is an ideal zone to look for long opportunities, especially if the breakout is retested and confirmed as support.

📌 Don’t chase — let the market pull back, then follow the strength. Momentum is clearly with the bulls. 🚀
