Pound Climbs Above $1.336 on Strong UK DataThe British pound rallied past $1.336, reaching a one-week high and inching closer to its April peak of $1.34. The move was fueled by renewed optimism after the UK and EU reached a comprehensive post-Brexit agreement covering energy cooperation, defense partnerships, and fisheries rights through 2038. Supporting the pound further, recent UK data exceeded expectations. GDP rose 0.7% in Q1 and 1.3% annually, easing pressure on the Bank of England to cut interest rates aggressively. Although rate reductions remain on the table, the strength of the economic rebound gives policymakers more flexibility. Despite some concerns about rising unemployment and slowing wage growth, the upbeat GDP print has helped offset fears of an impending recession. Meanwhile, the US dollar continued to weaken following Moody’s credit downgrade, providing additional support to the pound. GBP/USD now faces resistance at 1.3450, with higher targets at 1.3550 and 1.3700. Support is located at 1.3160, followed by 1.3000 and 1.2960.

GBPUSD BULLISH OR BEARISH DETAILED ANALYSISGBPUSD is currently forming a clean bullish pennant pattern on the daily chart after a strong impulsive rally, indicating that the pair is consolidating before its next leg higher. Price is hovering around the 1.3360–1.3380 zone, coiling tightly within the pennant structure, and showing signs of breakout pressure building. This is a classic continuation setup in a trending market, and with volume compression and decreasing volatility, the stage is set for a bullish breakout toward the 1.4070–1.4100 region. On the fundamental side, the British pound remains relatively supported due to recent hawkish rhetoric from the Bank of England, which is still closely monitoring wage inflation and strong labor market figures. Meanwhile, the US dollar is facing headwinds after softer CPI and PPI readings this month, fueling expectations of Fed rate cuts in the second half of 2025. These macro dynamics are increasingly tilting in favor of sterling strength, as investors begin pricing in yield divergence between the Fed and the BoE. Technically, the bullish structure is intact and the pennant formation is forming right after a sharp move higher, which adds confluence to this pattern. The breakout zone to watch is 1.3380–1.3400, and if bulls can clear this area with momentum, we are likely to see a swift extension toward the 1.4070 level. The risk is well-contained below 1.3340, offering an excellent reward-to-risk ratio for breakout traders and trend followers. This setup is not only technically sound but also backed by current macro shifts, making GBPUSD one of the most promising long opportunities right now. The market has been consolidating for weeks, building up energy, and with fundamentals aligning, this breakout could drive a strong move into Q3. I'm eyeing the 1.4070–1.4100 target in the coming weeks, and I'll continue to monitor for confirmation and execution signals.

GBPUSD Daily CLS Nested in Weekly CLS, Model 2 at 61.8Hey, Market Warriors, here is another outlook on this instrument If you’ve been following me, you already know every setup you see is built around a CLS range, a Key Level, Liquidity and a specific execution model. If you haven't followed me yet, start now. My trading system is completely mechanical — designed to remove emotions, opinions, and impulsive decisions. No messy diagonal lines. No random drawings. Just clarity, structure, and execution. 🧩 What is CLS? CLS is real smart money — the combined power of major investment banks and central banks moving over 6.5 trillion dollars a day. Understanding their operations is key to markets. ✅ Understanding the behaviour of CLS allows you to position yourself with the giants during the market manipulations — leading to buying lows and selling highs - cleaner entries, clearer exits, and consistent profits. 🛡️ Models 1 and 2: From my posts, you can learn two core execution models. They are the backbone of how I trade and how my students are trained. 📍 Model 1 is right after the manipulation of the CLS candle when CIOD occurs, and we are targeting 50% of the CLS range. H4 CLS ranges supported by HTF go straight to the opposing range. 📍 Model 2 occurs in the specific market sequence when CLS smart money needs to re-accumulate more positions, and we are looking to find a key level around 61.8 fib retracement and target the opposing side of the range. 👍 Hit like if you find this analysis helpful, and don't hesitate to comment with your opinions, charts or any questions.

GBPUSD INVERSE CUP AND HANDLE PATTERNTechnical Overview Resistance Level: 1.34400 Support Level: 1.27500 Bearish Targets: 1.30200 and 1.28800 The resistance at 1.34400 represents the peak before the formation of the inverted cup, serving as a critical level where selling pressure may intensify. The support at 1.27500 aligns with the neckline of the pattern; a decisive break below this level would confirm the bearish breakout, potentially leading to the projected targets. 📉 Trading Strategy Consider entering a short position upon a confirmed break below the 1.27500 support level, accompanied by increased trading volume to validate the breakout. Place a stop-loss order above the handle's peak, near 1.34400, to protect against false breakouts and limit potential losses.

GBP/USD Trading Idea: Sell Below 1.32056 Targeting 1.27133The GBP/USD pair is currently trading within an Undefined Price Action/Consolidation Zone, suggesting indecision and reduced momentum. Price has been moving sideways for several days with no clear trend direction. This area typically signals accumulation or distribution before a breakout. Key Levels Identified Support 1 (Breakout Level): 1.32056 Support 2 (Target Level): 1.27133 – 1.27173 (zone) Resistance (Invalidation Zone): Around 1.33034 Trade Setup (Bearish Bias Upon Breakout) Trade Idea Price is currently ranging but has tested the Support 1 zone multiple times. The more a support level is tested, the weaker it becomes. A clean break below Support 1 (1.32056) would likely signal the end of the consolidation phase and could trigger a strong bearish move. If this breakdown occurs, a short position becomes valid. Entry Sell Stop Order below 1.32056 (e.g., at 1.31950) to catch the breakout momentum. Take Profit (TP) Primary Target: Support 2 zone between 1.27133 and 1.27173, representing a major historical support level. This provides a potential reward of approximately 480 pips from entry. Stop Loss (SL) Placed above recent swing high and resistance of the range: around 1.33034. Risk is about 90 pips, providing a Risk-Reward Ratio (RRR) of ~1:5 – favorable for short sellers. Additional Notes Volume Analysis: Volume appears to have dropped inside the consolidation zone, often indicating a buildup phase. A breakout with rising volume would confirm the trade signal. Event Risk: UK-related macroeconomic events are marked on May 13 and 15. Monitor for volatility which could trigger the breakout. Bias: Currently unbiased but leaning bearish due to: Flat momentum within the zone Multiple failures to sustain above mid-range Potential for breakdown continuation aligned with the higher time frame trend
