GBPUSD Faces Strong Ceiling at 1.36 – Drop to 1.32 Ahead?The first half of this year was strongly bullish for GBPUSD, with the pair climbing from 1.20 to 1.37 — a rally of nearly 1,700 pips (14%).
However, after topping in July, cable corrected around 600 pips, only to find solid support at 1.32 in August. From there, a rebound followed, pushing price back up to 1.36 by the end of the month.
Looking at the chart, we can see a clear technical picture: while GBPUSD has rebounded from support, it has also formed a very strong ceiling at 1.36. This zone has now been reinforced by a bearish pin bar printed just two days ago.
Going forward, as I already highlighted in my DXY analysis, I expect a rebound in the USD — and this will almost certainly translate into a drop in cable.
From a purely technical standpoint:
• 1.36 = strong resistance, validated by the pin bar and multiple rejections.
• 1.34 is the first support and can act as a soft target.
• In the medium term, I expect GBPUSD to revisit 1.32.
The strategy is clear: sell the rallies into resistance, as the pair appears to be at the beginning of a corrective leg lower. 🚀

The Game Series | Who Wins on GBPUSD?The market is never random — it’s a game of traps and liquidity hunts played by institutions against the crowd.
On GBPUSD, the story unfolds clearly:
🔻 First came the down wave, pulling traders into shorts and building liquidity at the lows.
🔺 Then, price flipped into an upside wave, climbing toward a major liquidity pool sitting above Equal Highs (EQH) and the Intraday High (IDM).
Now here’s where the real game begins. Institutions don’t move without collecting fuel. That’s why a fake push down into the SSL zone near 1.3330 is likely — designed to trigger stop-losses and shake weak hands out of the market.
From there, the stage is set for the strong upside push. The crowd gets trapped, liquidity gets harvested, and the real move is launched.
💡 Takeaway: Liquidity isn’t just numbers on a chart — it’s the scoreboard of the market game. The side that controls liquidity controls the outcome.
👉 Question to you: After the sweep, will the Bulls 🟢 finally secure the win, or do the Bears 🔴 still have a surprise move left?
GBP/USD - Building Base for Renewed Bullish MomentumHi everyone,
As highlighted in our previous idea, GBP/USD delivered the deeper pullback toward 1.33800 before reversing to the upside and decisively hitting our NFP trade target at 1.35300 last week. However, price lacked the momentum to break and hold above this level.
Looking ahead, we anticipate a renewed attempt at 1.35300 this week from the 1.34580–1.34880 zone. A successful break and retest of support should give GBP/USD the platform to mount a challenge toward the 1.36850 resistance area.
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!
All the best for the week ahead.
Trade safe,

GBP/USD Rising Wedge Breakdown Potential
The GBP/USD 30-minute chart shows price moving within an ascending trendline but recently stalling near resistance around 1.3550–1.3560. The Ichimoku cloud suggests weakening bullish momentum, with price struggling to sustain above the support line.
Bearish Setup: A breakdown below the ascending trendline and cloud support around 1.3500 could trigger stronger downside pressure.
Targets: If selling momentum continues, price may test the 1.3420 and 1.3395 support levels.
Stop Loss: A safe invalidation zone lies above 1.3550–1.3560, where further upside would invalidate the bearish scenario.
🔎 Overall, GBP/USD looks vulnerable to a short-term pullback unless it reclaims strong bullish momentum above 1.3550.

Q3 | W35 | D29 | Y25
🕯️ The previous daily candle closed bullish, and importantly, above the 50EMA.
This signals a shift in short-term daily bias to the upside, indicating that bullish momentum may be building.
📌 A previous bullish daily candle has left behind a 4H Order Block and an imbalance, both sitting within a broader daily POI.
Within this POI, we can identify refined 1H and 15-minute order blocks and voids — key zones to monitor for reaction and structure alignment.
These levels become our points of interest for potential long setups.
🧠 Execution Plan:
No blind entries at the POI.
I’ll be closely watching lower timeframes (M15/M5) for a clean Break of Structure (BOS) or a liquidity sweep followed by bullish confirmation.
If those conditions are met, I’ll look for a long entry, keeping risk tightly managed.
If price fails to hold the POI or shifts bearish, I’ll stay out and wait for clarity.
🎯 Summary:
Bias: Bullish (with confirmation)
Focus: Refined entries from lower timeframe structure shifts
Risk: Capped and only deployed with valid confirmations
Mindset: Patient, mechanical, and reactive to price — not predictions.

GBPUSD – PCE Data Could Set the Breakout🔹 Market Context
Traders are waiting for the US PCE Price Index today.
Forecasts suggest the data will likely be unchanged from the previous month, which could give the USD slight strength in the short term.
GBPUSD is now trading inside a symmetrical triangle, and PCE may act as the catalyst for the breakout.
🔹 Technical Outlook (H2 Chart)
Support zone: 1.3430 – 1.3450 (demand + trendline confluence).
Next key support: 1.3340 – 1.3350.
Resistance zones: 1.3550 – 1.3580 and 1.3660.
Scenarios to Watch:
1️⃣ Bullish Setup
If price holds above 1.3430 – 1.3450 and breaks the triangle resistance →
Targets: 1.3550 – 1.3580, then 1.3660 if momentum continues.
2️⃣ Bearish Setup
If PCE data boosts USD and GBPUSD breaks below 1.3430,
Downside targets: 1.3340, with extension toward 1.3300.
🔹 Trading Plan (reference only)
Buy Zone: 1.3430 – 1.3450
SL: 1.3400
TP: 1.3550 – 1.3580 → 1.3660
Sell Zone: break below 1.3430
SL: 1.3480
TP: 1.3340 → 1.3300
✅ Summary: GBPUSD is at a make-or-break level. The 1.3430 pivot zone is the key to watch ahead of PCE. A bounce from here favors bulls toward 1.3550+, while a breakdown could trigger a deeper move into 1.3340.

GBP/USD Long GBP/USD long from the bounce off the trend line. Of course I will be waiting on more confluence before getting I the trade. For example, I would like to see (price action) rejection off of the trend line. If price blows past the trend line with strong selling pressure I will of course not take this trade. I will be watching the very large (fair value gap). It was made because of news so it could have just been a impulsive move to the up side because of the looming rate cuts or lack there of.

📈 GBP/USD Weekly Forecast – Q3 | W35 | Y25
A bullish end to the week has shaken up price action, with price closing right into our mid-range time frame POI. Initially, we’ll be watching for short setups, but caution is key — the weekly candle closing above the 50 EMA signals potential continuation to the upside.
🧠 Smart Shorts Only:
If you’re taking shorts from current highs, consider waiting for a clear 5M or 15M break of structure (BOS) to confirm price is ready to fill the daily imbalance and head toward the daily 50 EMA.
🎯 Short-Term Targets for Shorts:
Equal Lows

⚠️ Manage short positions aggressively — higher time frame trend remains bullish.
📌 Key Bullish POI:
Note the daily order block left behind after the explosive move on Friday, Aug 22, 2025. Though currently sitting below the daily 50 EMA, this will be our primary long execution zone.
A wick rejection from this area would provide a solid long entry, in alignment with the HTF trend.

GBPUSD Faces Pressure as Dollar Strength Reasserts ControlGBPUSD has staged a corrective rally in recent sessions, but the recovery is already showing signs of fading. Price has stalled at a key resistance zone, and sellers are beginning to step back in, eyeing deeper downside. With UK fundamentals under strain and the U.S. dollar supported by resilient macro data, the path of least resistance appears tilted toward further weakness in cable.
Current Bias
Bearish – downside continuation favored as the rally runs into resistance.
Key Fundamental Drivers
U.S. dollar demand underpinned by safe-haven flows and strong macro resilience.
Bank of England dovish tilt after its recent rate cut, with policymakers cautious on growth risks.
UK growth slowdown, particularly in services and housing markets, weighing on sterling sentiment.
Trade and tariff uncertainty amplifying pressure on UK-linked assets.
Macro Context
Interest rate expectations: The Fed is expected to hold rates higher for longer, while the BoE is already cutting, increasing yield divergence against sterling.
Economic growth trends: UK economic growth remains fragile, with weak consumer demand and stagnant investment. U.S. data has been relatively stronger.
Commodity flows: Lower oil imports may give slight GBP support, but overall trade dynamics favor USD strength.
Geopolitical themes: Ongoing tariff disputes, Brexit trade adjustments, and global slowdown fears limit sterling’s upside potential.
Primary Risk to the Trend
A sudden resurgence in UK inflation or unexpectedly hawkish BoE commentary could support sterling and trigger a sharp squeeze higher.
Most Critical Upcoming News/Event
UK CPI print (key for BoE rate expectations)
U.S. PMI and Fed commentary (signals on U.S. growth and policy stance)
Leader/Lagger Dynamics
GBPUSD is often a lagger relative to EURUSD, reacting to broader USD flows rather than leading them.
The pair can influence GBP-crosses like GBPNZD, GBPJPY, and GBPCHF, particularly during UK-centric news.
Key Levels
Support Levels: 1.3424, 1.3160
Resistance Levels: 1.3590, 1.3715
Stop Loss (SL): 1.3720
Take Profit (TP): 1.3424 (first target), 1.3160 (extended target)
Summary: Bias and Watchpoints
GBPUSD remains under downside pressure, with rallies into resistance continuing to attract sellers. The bearish bias is intact, with a stop loss at 1.3720 protecting against a breakout reversal, and take-profit levels eyed at 1.3424 and 1.3160. With UK fundamentals deteriorating and U.S. data supporting dollar strength, traders should keep a close watch on upcoming UK CPI and U.S. Fed communications, as these events will likely dictate the next decisive move. Until then, the pair looks poised to extend lower.
The correction wave and the continuation of the GBPUSD uptrend✏️GBPUSD is forming a corrective downtrend in the long-term uptrend. The large-timeframe Trendline zone also stops the current upward momentum of this pair's price. This correction can consider Target at the Fibonacci retracement points or old Break out zones. After the correction wave ends, we can wait for a clear price reaction from the buyers to set up BUY signals towards long-term TP zones.
📉 Key Levels
SELL trigger: the buying force weakens, cannot break the trendline 1.353 and there is a price rejection from the sellers.
BUY trigger: the reaction of H4 at the support zones 1.341 -1.330 (Fibonacci retracement)
