GBP/USD: Bearish Momentum Persists, Eyes on Key Support LevelsGBP/USD is trading near 1.2560, extending its downward trajectory after failing to break the critical resistance at 1.2685. The rejection at this level underscores persistent bearish pressure, driving the pair lower in recent sessions. The immediate focus is on the 1.2500 support level, which may provide temporary relief. However, a decisive break below this level could pave the way for further declines toward 1.2360, a key zone where buyers might attempt to regain control. Upside potential remains capped as long as GBP/USD stays below 1.2685. Any retracement into the 1.2600-1.2650 range is likely to attract fresh selling interest, aligning with the prevailing bearish trend. With momentum firmly favoring the downside, GBP/USD remains vulnerable to further losses, making short positions a strategic consideration. Happy trading, and may your trades be profitable!

Signs of Recovery or Resistance Ahead?Currently, GBP/USD is trading around 1.26857, indicating a slight recovery after the previous extended bearish phase. The British pound is showing more positive signs, however, the pressure from the EMA 89 resistance has not been completely broken. The GBP/USD pair remains in an overall downtrend, confirmed by lower highs and lows. The EMA 34 and EMA 89 continue to slope down, indicating that selling pressure is still dominant. Resistance and support: Nearest resistance: The area around 1.2700-1.2720, which coincides with the EMA 89. This is an important zone that needs to be broken to confirm a short-term reversal. Key support: The 1.2600 area, where the pair has found buying pressure in recent sessions. If this zone is broken, GBP/USD could fall further to 1.2540. Personal view: I expect GBP/USD to continue its slight recovery in the short term to test the resistance zone of 1.2700-1.2720. If it fails to break, the price will reverse and retest the support at 1.2600. However, if there is a strong news factor supporting the pound, the pair could break above the 89 EMA and open the door for further gains.

GBPUSDFX:GBPUSD Back to the liquidity test above after the free fall. The pair lacks bullish conviction amid a stable US dollar and as investors choose to wait for the Bank of England (BoE) Monetary Policy Report Hearing before placing strong bets. A clear bearish wave is forming on the larger timeframe, on the smaller timeframe the downtrend is formed based on negative fundamentals, which only strengthened after Trump's victory. Therefore, any strong resistance can easily hold the market. On H4, it is trying to break out of the main range, breaking the main support level. A consolidation is forming inside the channel, if sellers hold the 1.269 - 1.277 zone, we can expect a decline towards the areas of interest in the medium term. Resistance: 1.282 - 1.277 and 1.269 Support: 1.259 - 1.247 and 1.231 The focus is on the resistance level mentioned above, as the further struggle and movement of the market depends on this important zone at this point. The bearish structure will be broken when the local high at 1.282 i.e. (0.5 fib) is broken and the price consolidates above this zone.

GBPUSD Faces Continued Pressure with Key Support Levels in FocusThe GBPUSD pair remains under bearish pressure as it trades near 1.2616, consolidating within a downward trend. Recent price action highlights a breakout below key support levels, reflecting the dominance of sellers. Technical indicators such as the EMA 34 and EMA 89 confirm the downtrend, while resistance levels near 1.2664 continue to cap any upward attempts. The recent breakout below the blue support zone signals potential for further downside, with 1.2540 emerging as the next target if bearish momentum persists. The overall trend suggests a strong influence of USD strength, driven by market expectations and global economic developments. For traders, the area near 1.2650 may provide a retest opportunity, but the broader sentiment remains in favor of sellers until significant bullish signals emerge.

GBP/USD Faces Strong Selling, Downtrend May ContinueLooking at the 4-hour chart of GBP/USD, I notice that the pair is in a clear downtrend, with the EMA 34 and EMA 89 both sloping down, indicating strong selling pressure. The current price is approaching the bearish support line below the 1.2740 area. The psychological resistance zone around 1.2800 – 1.2850 has been tested several times but failed to break above. This shows that the selling pressure is still dominant and is likely to push the price further down if there are no signs of strong support. My trading plan is to wait for a small correction to the resistance zone of 1.2800. If the selling pressure persists in this area, I will consider entering a short position with the target of approaching the lower support zone around 1.2700 or lower. Conversely, if price breaks and goes above 1.2850, I will re-evaluate my strategy.

GBPUST: Sell to win ! The GBP/USD pair is currently trending downward, with prices continuing to slide after encountering resistance. At present, the pair is hovering around the 1.2685 mark, with potential for further declines if it fails to recover above the resistance zone. This area around 1.2875-1.2972 has proven to be a significant resistance level, where sellers have previously regained control. If the downtrend continues, GBP/USD may target the support area near 1.2550, which could provide some stabilization for the pair. However, a break below this support could lead to a deeper decline. Traders are advised to watch for any potential reversal signals around the resistance area.

GBP/USD Facing Bearish Pressure, Testing Key SupportLooking at the GBP/USD chart, I see that the pair is in a downtrend and is facing a strong resistance zone around 1.2920. The price has formed a descending structure with lower highs and lower lows, along with moving below the 34 and 89 EMAs, indicating that the bearish momentum is still strong. The key support zone is currently located in the range of 1.2880–1.2900, which could act as a buffer in the short term. If the price breaks this zone, GBP/USD could continue its downward trend, with the nearest target at 1.2800. Conversely, if this support zone holds and buying pressure appears, I will be watching for a possible recovery to the 1.2950 resistance zone. However, I still favor the bearish scenario due to pressure from the larger trend and weakening bullish momentum.

Deep Downtrend and Gap AnalysisThe GBP/USD 4-hour chart shows a clear downtrend, with price consistently moving below both the 34 and 89 exponential moving averages (EMAs), which is a clear indication of the strength of the current downtrend. These EMAs are also acting as strong resistance levels, preventing any further price recovery. From the chart, it appears that a gap has been created during the price decline. In the short term, if price starts moving back to “fill the gap” and breaks above this level, it could signal a reversal or at least some stabilization before resuming the current trend. However, if price continues to fall and fails to return to fill the gap, this would further reinforce the downtrend and could test lower support levels.

Will 1.2590 Support Hold?On the hourly GBP/USD chart, it is clear that the British pound is under pressure. The price is currently trading below both the 34 EMA and the 89 EMA, which is a sign that the downtrend is still intact. The fact that the 34 EMA is below the 89 EMA suggests that the downtrend could extend. In recent hours, it seems that the price has tested the support around the 1.2590 area but has not been able to recover above the 34 EMA, which indicates weakness in the GBP recovery attempt. If this support level is broken, we could see GBP/USD continue to decline to new lows.

GBPUSD: Struggling Around 1.2670 Amid Bearish PressureGBPUSD continues to fluctuate near the 1.2670 level, with recovery prospects overshadowed by a prevailing downtrend and key market dynamics. Market Influences -UK Data: Weak retail sales and manufacturing output have weighed on GBP sentiment. Upcoming inflation or GDP data may trigger volatility but remain under bearish pressure. -Fed Policy: The Fed's hawkish stance and higher U.S. bond yields continue to strengthen the USD, limiting GBPUSD's recovery attempts. -Brexit & Politics: Ongoing uncertainty surrounding UK-EU trade relations exerts significant pressure on the pound. Trend Analysis -Short-Term Outlook: The pair is trading within a descending channel, with modest recovery efforts from recent lows near 1.2600. -Key Resistance: The 1.2870–1.2910 zone remains critical; failure to break above this area could reinforce the bearish trend. -Downside Targets: Prolonged pressure may drive GBPUSD to retest the 1.2600 level, with potential extensions to 1.2500 if bearish momentum persists. Outlook The bearish trend continues to dominate unless GBPUSD breaks above the resistance zone. Traders should monitor upcoming economic releases and shifts in risk sentiment to gauge the pair's direction.

GBPUSD Eyes Further Downside Amid Strong ResistanceGBPUSD is currently facing downward pressure, trading near resistance zones around 1.27796 and 1.28758. Recent price action has shown a struggle to gain upward momentum, with sellers stepping in around these resistance areas. This setup suggests a potential continuation of the bearish trend, especially if the pair fails to break above the highlighted resistance levels. Technically, GBPUSD is forming a descending pattern, indicating that sellers may remain in control. If the price cannot sustain any upward push, it may target lower levels, with possible support around 1.26817. Should this support give way, the next target could extend towards 1.25500 or lower.

GBPUSD: Continue to prioritize selling The GBP/USD pair extended its decline, dropping below 1.2810 in Tuesday's trading session at the time of writing. The U.S. dollar remains robust as Trump-related trades continue to gain momentum, keeping the downward trend in the major currency pair intact after breaking through chart-marked support levels. On the USD side, the potential for the Trump administration to propose policies like high tariffs, tax cuts, and interference with the Federal Reserve's monetary policy could strengthen the dollar and bond yields, creating additional resistance for GBP/USD.

GBP/USD Waiting for Breakout in Downward ChannelGBP/USD is currently moving within a downward channel with resistance around 1.3000 and support at 1.2850. If the price breaks the upper channel boundary, an uptrend could be formed, with the target of reaching higher highs. Conversely, if the support at the lower boundary is broken, the downtrend could resume, pushing the price lower. The EMAs (34 and 89) are sloping downwards, indicating weak bullish momentum. Traders should keep a close eye on the channel boundaries to determine the next move.
