GBPUSD – Bearish Continuation After H4 BOS📉 GBPUSD – Bearish Continuation After H4 BOS 📌 Pair: GBPUSD ⏱️ Timeframe: H4 📊 Bias: Bearish 🔍 Market Context GBPUSD has recently delivered a clear Break of Structure (BOS) to the downside, confirming a shift in market control toward sellers. Following the BOS, price formed a lower high, leaving behind a fresh H4 supply zone, which suggests institutional distribution. Price is currently trading below this zone and is expected to retrace into it before continuing lower. 🎯 Entry Idea Sell entry inside the marked H4 supply zone Ideal entry is after: Price retraces into supply Bearish reaction or rejection Optional lower-timeframe confirmation (CHOCH / rejection candle) 📌 Entry area: Within the highlighted supply zone 🛑 Stop Loss (SL) Place stop loss: Above the high of the supply zone Or above the previous H4 swing high This placement protects against potential liquidity grabs above resistance. 🎯 Take Profit (TP) Targets TP1: Internal liquidity / recent equal lows TP2: Previous H4 swing low TP3 (runner): External liquidity near the next higher-timeframe demand zone 📉 Risk-to-reward is favorable (1:2+ minimum). 🧠 Confluence Summary ✔️ H4 bearish BOS ✔️ Lower high formation ✔️ H4 supply zone ✔️ Liquidity resting below price ✔️ Trend continuation setup ⚠️ Invalidation This setup becomes invalid if: A 4H candle closes decisively above the supply zone 📌 Final Notes This is a pullback-based continuation trade Wait for confirmation if trading lower timeframes Always manage risk responsibly (1–2% per trade) Not financial advice 👍 Like & follow for more Smart Money & GBPUSD setups.

GBPUSD H1 SSL Sweep + Bullish Order Block with RSI ConfirmationOANDA:GBPUSD GBPUSD H1 Timeframe Previously, we had a sell analysis on GBPUSD H1 where sideways liquidity was highlighted, and that analysis was later closed. Now, price has taken sell-side liquidity, formed a bullish order block, and moved upward. Currently, price is trading around 1.34213. RSI is at 40.44, indicating selling pressure has weakened. If RSI reclaims above 50 and price closes above the H1 order block, a bullish move toward 1.35328 is highly probable. There is a strong possibility that price will move toward the upper order block. If an H1 candle closes above the upper order block, Final Target: 1.35328 Stop Loss: Below the lower order block at 1.33728

GBPUSD: Critical Breakdown Below 1.3435 as Fed Pause Fuels YieldAfter months of the long-term bullish trend, price action is finally showing signs of a structural breakdown. Primary catalyst for this downside move is the expectation that the U.S. Federal Reserve will hold interest rates steady next week instead of cutting. Pause by the Fed causing a spike in U.S. Treasury Yields, making the Dollar more attractive. 1.3435 ($78.6% Fib) was the major defense for bulls. Staying below this level keeps the "Sell on Strength" setup active and further downside to the 1.3313 and 1.3292 levels. Resistance: between 1.3430 and 1.3450. However, sustained break above 1.3450 is required to flip the bias back to a bullish continuation. Anything below 1.3450 is currently considered a corrective retest of broken resistance.

GBP/USD consolidates within the 4th wave; 261.8% at 1.3298GBP/USD continues to make lower lows and lower highs. We are seeing a period of consolidation. This can be analysed as a Wyckoff zone. That would suggest that the next move is lower. Elliott Wave analysis would suggest we are currently consolidating within the 4th wave It should be noted that the current drive to the downside is being fuelled by both GBP losses and USD gains. We have a 261.8% extension level at 1.3298 A resistance zone is seen between 1.3432 and 1.3447 Conclusion: although the immediate bias is still skewed to the downside, the system set up suggests buying into dips. I will be looking at 1.3298 as a long entry targeting the 1.3432 to 1.3447 zone.

Sell GBP/USD at right shoulder / retest trendlineThere is uncertainty around the world at the moment which is usually USD positive due to it's safe haven status. The GBP/USD never does well in this environment and there's a nice H&S shoulders pattern along with a retest of a broken trendline matching up around the same price action. If we are going lower a spike to take out all the stops and reversal is consistent with this forex pair. Profit is an interesting area just under 1.33 with a gap that might get filled.

GBP/USD: Conservative Short – Waiting for Structure Break at 0.6Executive Summary We are monitoring GBP/USD for a potential short entry. While the immediate momentum is bearish, we are currently in a corrective "pullback" phase. A conservative approach dictates waiting for the price to reach a Premium Pricing zone before looking for a shift in lower-timeframe structure. The Conservative Thesis I am not placing a limit order. Instead, I am set alerts for the 1.3414 – 1.3428 zone (The Purple Box). Why this zone? 0.618 Fibonacci Confluence: This is the most respected retracement level for institutional "sell-side" liquidity. Structural Gap: The sharp drop on Jan 15th left an imbalance; a return to 1.3415 fills that inefficiency. ATR Protection: By entering near 1.3420, our Stop Loss can remain safely above the D1 ATR High (1.3448), offering a superior Risk/Reward ratio without being exposed to daily noise. Execution Criteria (The "Wait") I will only execute this trade if the following occurs: Price enters the Purple Short Area. We see a Bearish Rejection (e.g., a 1H Pin Bar or a Bearish Engulfing candle). The SAFX Bias on the 1H confirms bearish momentum (switching from the current corrective state). Conservative Trade Parameters Entry: 1.3416 (Post-confirmation) Stop Loss: 1.3455 (Above the 1.0 Fib level and Daily ATR High) Take Profit 1: 1.3381 (Previous Swing Low - 1:1 RR) Take Profit 2: 1.3340 (Major Daily Support - 1:2.5 RR)

GBPUSD 4H – Higher Timeframe RedistributionPrice is trading inside a higher timeframe redistribution phase after a strong prior move. What this means: -The market is not accumulating for continuation -Large players are offloading positions at premium prices -Structure shows choppy highs, weak follow-through, and overlapping ranges -Rallies into resistance are likely selling opportunities, not trend continuation The projected path reflects: ➡️ Short-term upside to rebalance liquidity ➡️ Failure to break higher timeframe resistance ➡️ Expansion lower once redistribution is complete This is a classic HTF redistribution: Range → Liquidity build → Distribution → Expansion Bias remains cautious-bearish unless price accepts above resistance with strong continuation. 📌 Higher timeframe controls direction. Lower timeframe is only for execution.

Cable declines within the rangeBritish monetary policy moved into greater focus for cable around the middle of January after positive monthly GDP for November with the majority of participants expecting the BoE to cut twice in 2026. Recent data from the USA were generally positive and legal threats against Jerome Powell by the government have moved out of focus for now. The 23.6% weekly Fibonacci retracement around $1.337 is an obvious potential support which the price is currently testing. There’s no clear evidence of a directional trend on the daily chart, so if the price can break below this potential support it might settle into the value area between the 50 SMA from Bands and the 100 SMA. However, the slow stochastic is close to oversold. A breakout above $1.35 seems unlikely for now in the absence of strong demand for buying. With the price below the 20 SMA, this might function as a short-term dynamic resistance. The British job report and inflation coming up on 20 and 21 January respectively might give more clues on medium-term direction or if unsurprising confirm sideways movement ahead of the Fed’s meeting. This is my personal opinion, not the opinion of Exness. This is not a recommendation to trade.

IDEA GBPUSD SHORT POSITION This is a trade idea on GBPUSD based on price action and intermarket analysis. Current price is trading around 1.33830 , and the plan is to wait for price to retrace into the Area of Interest (AOI) between 1.33900 – 1.33025 to observe price reaction. At the same time, DXY is showing bullish strength and continuation, supporting a potential bearish move on GBPUSD due to their inverse correlation. DXY 4 Hrs DXY 1hr A sell position will be considered only after clear price action confirmation from the AOI. Patience is the edge — the market rewards those who wait. 🎯📉

GU Idea UK economic growth surprised on the upside in November, with real GDP rising 0.3% month-on-month, led by gains in services and manufacturing despite continued weakness in construction, BBH FX analysts report. BOE rate cuts priced in as policy room remains "UK economic growth overshot expectations in November. Real GDP rose 0.3% m/m (consensus: 0.1%) vs. -0.1% in October, driven by services and production. Services output increased 0.3% m/m vs. -0.3% in October while production output increased 1.1% m/m vs. 1.3% in October on a solid pick-up in manufacturing activity. The construction sector remains a drag on the economy falling -1.3% m/m following a decline of -1.2% in October."
