GBP/USD Technical Analysis with Sentiment Data:

Current Price and Support Levels: As of the latest close, GBP/USD is trading at 1.23791. It's important to consider that the current price is in close proximity to significant support levels at 1.23784, 1.23141, and 1.22637. These levels have historically acted as robust areas of price support, potentially attracting buying interest.

Major Resistance Levels: On the other hand, the current price is also approaching major resistance levels within the range of 1.23895 to 1.23897 and 1.24213. These are substantial price zones where traders may contemplate taking profits or initiating short positions if GBP/USD reaches these levels.

Short-Term Outlook: Given the technical analysis, my inclination towards a short position with the target of revisiting the 3rd support level at 1.22637 as a pullback appears technically sound. Should the price fail to breach the immediate resistance levels and begins to retreat, it could discover support around the levels which I've identified.

Sentiment Analysis: It's noteworthy that, based on sentiment data (Myfxbook), 76% of traders are currently in short positions, representing 11,193.20 lots, while 24% are in long positions, accounting for 3,505.61 lots. This indicates a bearish sentiment in the market, with a significantly higher number of traders shorting GBP/USD compared to those taking long positions. Specifically, 35,217 traders are short, while 11,825 are long, which further emphasizes the bearish sentiment.

Additional Considerations:
Market Sentiment: With the majority of traders holding short positions, it aligns with my short-term outlook. However, we have to keep a close eye on market sentiment as it can change rapidly.

Longer-Term Perspective: Maintain a broader perspective even though my primary focus is on the short-term. GBP/USD can be influenced by extended economic trends and political events, so staying well-informed about these influences is imperative.

Routine Monitoring: Continuously monitor price action, market sentiment, and adjust strategy in response to evolving market conditions.

Remember, trading in the forex market carries inherent risks, and it's vital to maintain a well-defined trading strategy and risk management plan. Seek guidance from a financial advisor or conduct further research before executing any trading decisions. GBPUSD $XM:GBPUSD #GBPUSD #EAForexGlobal
