GBP/USD Ready for Reversal After Buy-Side Liquidity Hunt | ICT.

GBP/USD ICT-Based Analysis | Liquidity Grab Ahead?

In this 4H chart of GBP/USD, we are applying ICT (Inner Circle Trader) Smart Money Concepts to identify a high-probability setup.

🔍 Market Structure: The pair has shown bullish momentum recently, but is now approaching a clear resistance level just below 1.36000. This resistance has been respected multiple times, indicating the presence of buy-side liquidity above.

📊 Liquidity & Manipulation Play: According to ICT concepts, smart money often targets liquidity pools. The market is likely to:

Sweep the buy-side liquidity resting above the resistance (where breakout traders and buy stops are placed),

And then reverse sharply to the downside.


📉 Target Zone: Our downside target lies at the Sell Side Liquidity Zone around 1.34200–1.34400. This is where stop losses of late buyers and weak longs are likely placed — an ideal liquidity pool for smart money to target.

📅 Timing: We also see major high-impact news events (marked by icons) approaching around June 6, which could act as a catalyst for the liquidity grab and reversal.

🧠 Trade Concept Summary:

Bias: Bearish after liquidity grab

Entry Idea: Look for price to run above resistance (liquidity sweep) and then form bearish structure (e.g., break of market structure or displacement)

Target: 1.34200–1.34400 (Sell-side liquidity pool)

Risk Management: Avoid chasing the breakout — wait for confirmation of reversal post-sweep.
