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!

The British Pound started a downside correction and traded below the 1.2850 support zone against the US Dollar. The pair even traded below 1.2700 and the 50-hour simple moving average.

The main hurdle sits at 1.2800 and the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the 1.3009 swing high to the 1.2597 low. A close above the 1.2800 resistance might spark a steady upward move. The next major resistance is near the 1.2880 zone.

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.

GBPUSD analysis week 47🌐Fundamental Analysis UK employment figures largely beat expectations, but wage growth fueled inflation concerns. While jobless claims were lower than forecast, the number of people claiming unemployment benefits still rose from the previous month's revised figure. The Bank of England's (BoE) latest Monetary Policy Report is due out on Wednesday morning, and investors will be looking for hints on how the BoE plans to deal with the unbalanced UK economy that continues to struggle with inflation numbers. On the US side, key CPI inflation figures are due to hit the market. Headline CPI inflation is expected to have edged higher to 2.6% year-on-year from September's 2.4%. Core CPI inflation is expected to have held steady at 3.3% year-on-year. The monthly figures for both inflation are generally expected to remain unchanged from the previous month. 🕯Technical Analysis The downtrend is still showing no signs of stopping for GBPUSD. The next important support zone that the pair is aiming for is 1.2470, which is the old bottom area that saw strong price reaction from buyers in May. Besides, the possibility that the pair will still stick to the trendline and fall to this support zone, when the buying force is strong enough to break the trendline, the market will also turn around. Hopefully, the bullish waves can break the trendline and form an uptrend towards the resistance of 1.271-1.277-1.286. 📉📈Trading signals BUY GBPUSD 1.247-1.245 Stoploss 1.243 SELL GBPUSD 1.271-1.273 Stoploss 1.276
