GBP/USD - Support Intact, Bulls Targeting Fresh HighsHi everyone,
As highlighted in our previous idea, we were looking for a pullback into the 1.34400–1.34750 support zone before a renewed push higher toward the 1.36850 resistance level. While the Cable managed to hold support, it lacked the momentum to break above the 1.35300 level.
Looking ahead, we anticipate a renewed attempt this week, with price likely targeting the 1.36850 resistance area. However, a deeper pullback toward 1.33800 before appreciation remains a scenario firmly on our radar.
A decisive break above 1.36850 would bring the next key upside targets into focus. The impulsive rally from the 1st August low continues to underpin our bullish outlook on GBP/USD.
We’ll be monitoring price action closely to see how this structure develops in the sessions ahead.
The longer-term outlook remains bullish, with expectations for the rally to continue extending from the 1.20991 January low toward 1.40000 and 1.41700.
We’ll keep you updated throughout the week with how we’re managing our active ideas.
Thanks again for all the likes, boosts, comments, and follows — we really appreciate the support!

GBPUSD - Look for Short (INTRADAY) 1:2 It’s been a while since I last shared a trading idea. For this pair, GBPUSD generally moves inversely with the DXY. Currently, the price is consolidating, and a reversal pattern has formed on the higher timeframe, supported by the break of the HTF trendline, though it failed to create a new lower low.
This suggests price may retrace before continuing its bullish move. We could look for shorting opportunities based on price action, but always wait for price to tap into the supply order block before entering.
All the best!

The impulsive move higher from the 1st August low continues to reinforce our bullish outlook on GBP/USD.

A decisive break above this resistance would bring our next key upside targets into play.
We’ll be monitoring price action closely to see how this develops in the sessions ahead.
The longer-term outlook remains bullish, and we expect the rally to continue extending further from the 1.20991 January low towards 1.40000 and 1.417000.

GBP/USD Longs to Shorts GU has been very bearish recently and is currently reacting from a clean demand zone with multiple confluences. While we may see a short-term push to the upside, I’ll be watching to see if price reaches the 3hr supply zone sitting at a premium level.
If price does reach that zone, I’ll be on the lookout for signs of Wyckoff distribution and a slowdown in momentum, which could signal the start of another bearish leg.
Confluences for GU Shorts:
Overall bearish trend remains intact — this is a pro-trend setup
Price may retrace to mitigate a 3hr supply zone
Liquidity to the downside still needs to be taken
Current demand zone may simply serve as a trigger for a retracement up to supply
P.S. If price fails to reach the supply zone and continues dropping, we’ll likely see a new break of structure and the formation of a fresh nearby supply zone, which we can then trade from.
Let’s stay sharp and have a profitable trading week ahead! 🔥📊💰

GBP/USD Rate Falls to Key Support LevelGBP/USD Rate Falls to Key Support Level
As of today, the GBP/USD chart indicates that the British pound has declined by more than 2% against the US dollar since the beginning of July. Notably, the pace of the decline accelerated on Friday and continued into Monday.
According to Reuters, the pound is under pressure due to market concerns over a potential economic slowdown amid an escalating trade war. Last week’s data confirmed a contraction in UK GDP, which could have far-reaching implications. In this context, criticism of the UK government’s failure to reduce public spending is becoming more pronounced.
What’s next for GBP/USD?
Technical Analysis of the GBP/USD Chart
From a bullish perspective, it is worth noting that the pair has fallen to a significant support level around 1.3425. This level previously acted as resistance in the spring, but after a breakout, it has now turned into support (as indicated by arrows on the chart). Additionally, the RSI indicator shows strong oversold conditions, which suggests a potential short-term rebound.
From a bearish standpoint, it is concerning that the sharp rally from point A to point B has been entirely erased by the July decline. This indicates that despite significant gains by the bulls, they failed to hold them—casting doubt on GBP/USD's ability to sustain growth in the medium term.
Ongoing pressure may lead to an attempt by bears to push GBP/USD below the June low at point A. However, it is also possible that bearish momentum will weaken thereafter, potentially leading to a recovery within the developing downward channel (marked in red).

GBP/USD Outlook: Can Buyers Step Back In?Hi everyone,
GBP/USD continues to consolidate below the 1.36200 level, with multiple failed attempts to break higher confirming this area as firm resistance for now. Following the rejection, price moved lower into the 1.35300–1.34600 demand zone, where we’re watching closely for signs of renewed buying interest.
This area has previously acted as a support base, and a reaction here could set the stage for another push higher. However, if buyers fail to step in, there is scope for a deeper retracement before the next attempt to reclaim resistance. We’ll be monitoring the price action closely to see which scenario plays out.
A drop into this area was highlighted as the more probable short‑term path, and we’re now looking for GBP/USD to find support in this region; and more importantly, to hold above the 1.33800 level to form the base for another push higher.
As previously noted, a decisive break above 1.37500 would renew our expectation for further upside, with the next key target around 1.38400. We'll be monitoring price action closely to see how it unfolds.
We’ll continue to provide updates on the projected path for GBP/USD as price approaches this target.
The longer-term outlook remains bullish, and we expect the rally to continue extending further from the 1.20991 January low towards 1.40000 and 1.417000.

GBP/USD Hits June LowGBP/USD Hits June Low
As the GBP/USD chart shows, the pair dropped sharply last night, falling below the 1.34170 level. This move marked the lowest point for the pound against the dollar since the beginning of June.
One of the main drivers behind this decline is the strengthening of the US dollar, which is attracting market participants amid heightened geopolitical tensions and a potential escalation of military conflict between Iran and Israel, involving US armed forces. According to the latest reports, Donald Trump has warned Tehran that US patience is wearing thin.
Today, however, the pound has seen a slight rebound, supported by the release of the UK Consumer Price Index (CPI). While the data confirmed that inflation is easing, the pace of decline is slower than expected. This may reduce the likelihood of interest rate cuts by the Bank of England – which in turn has boosted the pound’s value.
What could happen next?
Technical Analysis of the GBP/USD Chart
Since the end of May, price fluctuations have formed an ascending channel (shown in blue), with bulls making several attempts to break the resistance level at 1.3600 – so far, without much success.
The sharp decline from point A to B suggests that the bears have seized the initiative, with the pair rebounding from the lower boundary of the blue channel.
GBP/USD traders may:
→ interpret the bounce from the lower blue boundary as an upward correction following a sharp fall;
→ use Fibonacci retracement levels to estimate potential upside. In such cases, particular attention is typically given to the 0.5–0.618 zone (highlighted in orange). Here, it aligns with the 1.3526 level, which acted as support on 12–13 June, but may now serve as resistance after being breached.

GBP/USD Analysis: Price Searching for SupportGBP/USD Analysis: Price Searching for Support
In the second half of May, the British pound showed notable strength: from its 12 May low, GBP/USD climbed to a peak on 26 May — marking its highest level in over three years.
Demand for the pound has been driven by several factors:
→ A surge in inflation. CPI data released last Wednesday came in above expectations. As a result, market participants interpreted this as a reason for the Bank of England to remain cautious about cutting interest rates. Holding rates at elevated levels is generally considered bullish for the pound.
→ The pound’s relative resilience amid trade tensions, particularly following a newly signed agreement with the US, as well as strengthening trade ties between the UK and the EU.
Can the pound continue to rise? The GBP/USD chart offers reasons for doubt.
Technical Analysis of the GBP/USD Chart
Recent price movements have formed an ascending channel (outlined in blue), and earlier this week, demand was so strong that the pair briefly moved above the upper boundary. But what happened next?
That strong buying momentum appears to have faded — resulting in a sequence of lower highs (A→B→C→D), suggesting that the market may be searching for a foothold. Today’s bounce (highlighted by the arrow) hints that such a foothold may have been found. But how reliable is it? And can the uptrend be resumed?
→ From a bullish perspective: Support may be provided by the lower boundary of the channel, reinforced by the 1.345 level.
→ From a bearish perspective: The 1.352 level is acting as resistance, further strengthened by the median line.
It is possible that the area marked by lower highs (A→B→C→D) could ultimately prove to be an insurmountable barrier for the developing uptrend on the GBP/USD chart.
