GBPUSD – Major Event Risk on the HorizonIt’s hard to deny there is a lot going on right now in financial markets, however in terms of the world of G7 FX the macro-outlook has been decidedly mixed with conflicting drivers working against each other to keep GBPUSD in a relatively tight range between 1.3350 and 1.3550. After a brief initial push to the topside at 1.3568 (January 6th) in the first few trading days of 2026, a resurgence of the US dollar towards the back end of last week, supported by resilient US data, led GBPUSD to probe the bottom end of its range, culminating in a gap open in Asia yesterday to register a low of 1.3339. That move was again short lived, with traders preferring to sell US dollars again in response to President Trump’s weekend threat to impose new trade tariffs on imports of any European countries, including the UK, opposing his plans to buy Greenland. The basis being that retaliatory tariff moves from the EU/UK could weaken the US economy. Now, looking forward, event risk could be higher than usual, with numerous events scheduled for tomorrow (January 21st) that could spark a much more volatile reaction in GBPUSD. The first is the next UK CPI release at 0700 GMT. A lower than expected reading could renew hopes for the Bank of England to speed up their current pace of interest rate cuts to support a weak economy, a move which could weigh on GBP. However, a higher reading could mean the opposite. Then, later in the day President Trump is due to speak from the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. It is anticipated that he will initially concentrate on laying out his latest plans for easing cost of living issues for US households, but he may find it hard not to comment on the escalating trade tensions with European allies, provide further insight into who will be the new Fed Chair, Kevin Hassett or Kevin Walsh, as well as discuss the current political challenges his administration are making to the independence of the Federal Reserve, all of which could impact the US dollar side of the GBPUSD currency pair. Importantly, on Wednesday evening, the US Supreme Court is expected to provide their guidance on the legality of President Trump’s authority to sack Federal Reserve Governor Cook. The outcome of this hearing could have a significant impact on FX markets, especially if the top US court are seen to be siding with the President. With so much to consider, there is the possibility that the relative calm of FX markets, and GBPUSD in particular, seen at the start 2026 could be shattered, so being prepared to react to wider directional moves could be beneficial. Technical Update: Correction Themes Ending? Within Technical Analysis, and especially when using Fibonacci retracements, it’s generally accepted that a correction in an uptrend, or a recovery in a downtrend, can retrace at least 38.2% of the prior move. In an uptrend, this means a pullback in price can find its first support around the 38.2% retracement of the preceding advance. The daily GBPUSD chart above shows that after the strong advance from the November 4th low to the January 6th high, price weakness has emerged as a natural reaction to over‑extended upside conditions. Last weeks and initially yesterday’s decline tested 1.3363, which aligns with the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement of that prior move, and this level held on a closing basis which helped see a bounce in price to current levels around 1.3435 (0645 GMT). Traders may now be questioning whether the sell‑off from the January 6th high has completed its corrective phase, creating possibilities for fresh attempts to rebuild price strength. If so, identifying and monitoring this week’s important support and resistance zones could be pivotal, as their ability to hold or trigger reversals may heavily influence the next directional bias. Possible Support Levels: After testing and holding the first retracement level at 1.3363 on a closing basis, this now appears to be the initial support for GBPUSD. While this level holds on a closing basis, scope remains for renewed attempts to rebuild the uptrend. However, if the 38.2% retracement support at 1.3363 fails to hold on a closing basis, downside risks may increase. In Fibonacci terms, a break below 1.3363 could shift the support focus toward the 50% retracement at 1.3300, potentially even the 61.8% level at 1.3237. Potential Resistance Levels: While 1.3363 holds on a closing basis, the bias could still be toward further attempts at uptrend development. However, renewed strength may require closing breaks above resistance levels to suggest upside momentum. The Bollinger mid‑average at 1.3459 could be the next level to monitor. Closing breaks above the mid‑average at 1.3459, could encourage traders to look for further attempts to push toward higher levels. As the chart above highlights, the next resistance may then be marked by 1.3495, which is the January 13th high, possibly even 1.3568, which is the January 6th high.

GBPUSD PSYCHOLOGY: Profitability is a Decision, Not a StrategyMost traders don’t fail because they lack strategy. They fail because they never slow down long enough to master one market. In this video, I’m starting the only series I’m running in 2026: Mastering GBPUSD. This is not about indicators or hype. It’s about rebuilding consistency by focusing on one pair, learning its rhythm, managing drawdown, and developing the discipline most traders avoid. We cover • Why mastering GBPUSD starts with a decision, not a strategy • How to build trust in a market before increasing position size • How to sit through normal drawdown without sabotaging your plan • Practical ways to observe price, mark levels, and reduce overtrading • Why alerts and walking away matter more than staring at charts If you’ve traded before, had success, lost momentum, and you’re looking to get back into rhythm, this video is for you. This series is about focus, patience, and self-mastery through one market. Watch. Apply. Repeat.

Elite | GBPUSD – 4H | Bullish Structure in Corrective PhaseFPMARKETS:GBPUSD GBPUSD pushed impulsively higher, then entered a corrective phase while respecting the ascending structure. Price is now reacting near a mid-channel demand area, where buyers previously stepped in. However, this is a reaction zone, not confirmation — continuation requires bullish acceptance. Key Scenarios ✅ Bullish Case 🚀 → Holding above the demand zone with bullish structure confirmation opens continuation toward previous highs and liquidity resting above 1.3560. ❌ Bearish Case 📉 → Failure to hold demand and a 4H close below the channel support exposes deeper pullback toward lower structure support. Current Levels to Watch Resistance 🔴: 1.3560 – 1.3600 Support 🟢: 1.3440 – 1.3400 ⚠️ Disclaimer: This analysis is for educational purposes only. It is not financial advice.

GU Sells to continue short term trendMy outlook is consistent across all pairs this week, with a focus on selling opportunities to continue the downside trend. While there is a stronger demand zone much lower, I’ll be looking to sell pullbacks that can take price into that area. Confluences for GU Sells: • DXY remains bullish, supporting downside pressure on GU • GU has been strongly bearish over the past week • Multiple breaks of structure confirm bearish momentum • Clean supply zones above price that offer sell opportunities P.S. If price retraces and sweeps the inducement I’ve marked, this could present a solid sell opportunity around the 1.34300 level.

GBP/USD targets 1.35 after mixed UK jobs! Break or reversal?Today, we are doing a dive into GBP/USD following a mixed UK jobs report that has left traders scratching their heads. While unemployment has spiked to a 4-year high, sticky wage growth and new tariff threats from President Trump are keeping the pound bid. Is a breakout to 1.35 imminent, or is the labour market crack a warning sign? We analyse the conflicting signals from the UK economy: unemployment rose to 5.1% in December (highest since 2021), yet wage growth held firm at 4.7%, keeping the BOE cautious on rate cuts. We overlay this with the "Greenland Tariff" threat weakening the US dollar and map out the technical path to 1.3568. ​ Key topics: UK Jobs data: A breakdown of the December report—unemployment up to 5.1%, 43k job losses, yet sticky wages (4.7%) are preventing a dovish pivot from the BoE. Trump tariff threat: How President Trump’s weekend threat to impose 10% tariffs on 8 EU nations (including the UK) over the Greenland dispute is pressuring the dollar and supporting cable. ​Technical setup : Bullish flag breakout: GBP/USD has reclaimed the 1.3400 handle and is holding above the 50% Fibonacci retracement. Golden pocket: Currently testing the 1.3481 "golden pocket." A break here targets the 1.3568 cycle high. Extension target: The 100% Fib extension points to 1.3500 as the immediate hurdle, with 1.3539 and 1.3562 above that. This content is not directed to residents of the EU or UK.

Next meeting: Feb 5, 2026. the BOE rate Influences UK mortgages ​The Bank of England (BoE) base rate directly influences UK mortgages and GDP through monetary policy transmission. Impact on Mortgages Tracker/Variable Rates: Directly tied to base rate (currently 3.75%). December 2025's 25 bps cut lowered tracker payments immediately; Nationwide SMR fell from 6.74% to 6.49%, BMR from 6% to 5.75%. Fixed Rates: Indirectly affected via swap rates/market pricing. Lower base rate = cheaper funding = sub-4% 5-year fixes expected by mid-2026 (from 3.55% today). Remortgaging: ~1.5M households face SVRs (Standard Variable Rate ) Impact on GDP Stimulus Channel: Lower rates → cheaper borrowing → higher consumer spending (70% GDP) and business investment → 0.2-0.5% GDP boost per 1% cut. Housing Multiplier: Cheaper mortgages → property transactions up 10-15% → construction/spending ripple. Currency Effect: Weaker GBP boosts exports but raises import inflation (3.2% CPI). Current Cycle: 6 cuts since Aug 2024 added ~1% to 2025 GDP growth; further easing to 3.5% projected supports flatlining economy. Net Effect: Rate cuts (3.75% → 3.5% expected) provide mortgage relief (~£2B annual household savings) while cautiously supporting GDP without reigniting inflation.

At the same time, USD momentum remains weak. This backdrop favors upside continuation in GBPUSD, with pullbacks likely corrective rather than trend-changing. ________________________________________ ⚠️ Risk Disclosure Trading involves substantial risk and may result in capital loss.

GBPUSD bearish intraday outlook 20 Jan 2026Price has completed a liquidity sweep at the previous highs before shifting structure with a clear Change of Character (CHOCH) to the downside. Since then, the market has been printing lower highs (LH) and lower lows (LL), indicating that bearish order flow remains intact. Currently, GBPUSD is pulling back toward a supply zone confluencing with the EMA200, which is acting as dynamic resistance. As long as price respects this area, bearish continuation remains the higher‑probability scenario. 🔽 Bearish Idea Watching for rejection from the supply zone / EMA200 Potential continuation lower toward the intraday target around 1.3340–1.3345 Market structure remains bearish unless price breaks above the previous LH 📌 Key Confluences Liquidity sweep at the highs Clear CHOCH marking bearish structure shift Retest into supply zone EMA200 overhead acting as resistance If the supply zone holds, downside continuation aligns with the prevailing trend.
