30-mins: GBP/USD Continues Sliding Down Over the past two months, the GBP/USD pair has experienced a significant decline, losing a total of 800 pips as strong bearish sentiment dominates the market. Although there have been occasional minor pullbacks, they have been limited to modest gains of only 30-50 pips, suggesting weak buying interest during the downtrend. Today's price action shows renewed selling pressure, driven by a clear bearish technical signal: the "Death Cross," where the 20-period moving average (MA) has crossed below the 60-period MA. This classic sell signal confirms the strong downward momentum, indicating that sellers remain firmly in control. However, the lower price levels could attract short-term buyers looking for a potential bargain. If a correction materializes, we might see the pair pulling back to test resistance at 1.2652, which aligns with the 50% Fibonacci retracement level, or slightly higher at 1.2664, near the 61.8% Fibonacci level. These levels represent key resistance points where sellers might re-enter the market, offering a better risk-reward ratio for traders aiming to capitalize on the broader downtrend. Without a sustained break above these resistance levels, the bearish outlook is likely to continue, with the trend potentially extending toward new lows in the coming sessions. Traders should watch these areas closely for signs of reversal or increased selling pressure.

GBP/USD continues the downtrendOn GBP/USD , it's nice to see a strong sell-off from the price of 1.26740 and 1.27410. It's also encouraging to observe a strong volume area where a lot of contracts are accumulated. I believe that sellers from this area will defend their short positions. When the price returns to this area, strong sellers will push the market down again. Downtrend and high volume cluster are the main reasons for my decision to go short on this trade. Happy trading, Dale

GBPUSD Analysis Monday Nov 18th Today's analysis for GBP/USD shows an overall bearish trend. I am looking to go short once the price hits the Sell-Side Imbalance Buy-Side Inefficiency (SIBI) Fair Value Gap (FVG) area. Additionally, there's a breaker block just around the FVG that reinforces this potential short entry. The resistance level at 1.2650, aligned with the 14-day EMA, is a key zone I'm watching closely. If the price reaches this level, it will provide an ideal entry point for a short position. Stop Loss: 1.2680 - Placed 30 pips above the entry point to protect against unexpected upward movement. Take Profit: 1.2590 - Positioned 60 pips below the entry point at a previous support level where price action may slow down or reverse. Risk-to-Reward Ratio: 1:2 NB. The dollar has been strong since the elections and hoping to continue for a while with the BOE uncertainties. Always keep an eye on upcoming economic events and market sentiment for any sudden changes. Happy trading!

Fundamental Market Analysis for November 18, 2024 GBPUSDThe Pound-Dollar pair starts the new week on a subdued note and is consolidating in a range above the round 1.26000 mark, or the lowest level since mid-May, reached on Friday. For now, spot prices appear to have broken a six-day losing streak on the back of a modest decline in the US Dollar, although the fundamental backdrop supports the prospects for an extension of the recent established downtrend. The US Dollar remains on the defensive below the one-year high (YTD) set last Thursday as bulls took a pause to take a breather after the explosive rally following the US election. However, any meaningful decline in the dollar seems unlikely amid expectations that US President-elect Donald Trump's policies are likely to revive inflationary pressures and limit the scope for further rate cuts by the Federal Reserve (Fed). This has been a key driver of the recent rise in US Treasury bond yields, suggesting that the path of least resistance for the US Dollar lies to the upside. The British Pound (GBP), on the other hand, may struggle to attract buyers amid uncertainty over the Bank of England's (BoE) future interest rate path. Data released last week showed that UK wage growth excluding bonuses slowed in September, while the unemployment rate rose to 4.3% from 4.1%. In addition, UK GDP unexpectedly contracted in September for the first time in five months, reinforcing expectations of a BoE rate cut. Nevertheless, Bank of England members are not expected to cut interest rates at the December meeting. This, in turn, makes it reasonable to expect strong follow-through buying to confirm that the GBP/USD pair has formed a short-term bottom. Bearish traders, however, can now wait for a sustained breakout and consolidation below the 1.2600 round figure before placing new bets amid a lack of market-significant economic releases on Monday from both the UK and the US. Trading recommendation: Watch the level of 1.26000, if consolidated below consider Sell positions, if rebounded consider Buy positions.
