GBPUSD Trading

Recommended Posts

thinking of going long around 1.5750/60 (wherever the pair meets 34ema) with targets 1.5820&1.5885.

 

jumped in during the Asian session after gbp/usd touched and bounced off of 34EMA (the yellow line)...don't know if I can stay awake till FOMC minutes..anyway, target and stop are set...

have to admit that i hate when London is closed...

I guess gbp/usd will pull back to 1.5777-1.5765 before turning north...daily and 4h charts are bullish, i.e. favoring buy on dips, but a daily close below 1.5750 would change the outlook

Hello Everyone,

Markets resumed after Easter Holidays in NY session yesterday, as the European Markets were closed. Earlier trends from NY session indicate weakening USD against major pairs. Expect USD to weaken further against majors but there is resistance ahead. Keep your longs short.

Outlook – GBP/USD Neutral to Weak

 

Ifyou happen to take this trade do let us know how it turned out for you.

Best

Gbp/usd found good support after consolidating around the expected support level of 1.5140. Even better than expected U.S data was unable to take it to next support level. It has already crossed 1.5300 but at this time trading below this level. I am expecting it to continue towards next resistance level of 1.5347.....

The pound posted strong gains following the non-taper shocker from the Fed, but the dollar recovered much of those losses following strong releases last week. Unemployment Claims were solid, and housing and manufacturing releases looked sharp as well. In the UK, Retail sales was a disappointment late in the week, posting a sharp decline.

I am seeing some strong bearish divergence on the MACD GPB/USD Daily chart. I am usually a S&R trader. But as far as indicators go I have found MACD divergence to be the most reliable. I will be looking for a break on the 1 HR TF. looking for a test of the 15870 low on the Daily. Where BTW we have a missed Weekly Pivot, ( about 6 weeks old ).

    • Date: 6th March 2025.   The Euro is on The Rise But Is the Currency Overbought?     The Euro rose more than 4% over four days making it the currency’s best performance since COVID lockdowns. The upward price movement is primarily driven by the European bond market which saw its worst day since the 1990s. However, investors are now evaluating whether the Euro is overbought.   Why Is the Euro Increasing in Value? The Euro's rise is driven by the EU's new ‘re-arm’ plans, announced by the European Commission President. This is in response to the US suspending military aid to Ukraine. Analysts believe increased military spending will strengthen the Euro in the short term, but its impact may fade, especially if the Ukraine-Russia conflict ends. The US is looking to achieve this by halting aid and no longer sharing military intelligence.     In addition, the German Bond fell and witnessed their worst day in almost 30 years. As a result the higher bond yields also continue to support the Euro. Currently, the Euro Index is trading 0.09% higher and is only witnessing a decline against the Japanese Yen. However, the price movement of the Euro will also depend on the European Central Bank and potential Trump Tariffs. Economists remain convinced that Trump's tariff threats are serious and will be imposed on the EU. Just last week, he announced that Washington will impose 25% tariffs on Europe-made ‘cars and all other things’. On April 2nd, Washington plans to introduce another round of ‘reciprocal’ tariffs, adding to those already in effect. Germany remains particularly vulnerable, as a large portion of its industry relies on exports to the US. This can potentially have a negative effect on the Euro and the European stock market.   Is the European Central Bank a Risk for the Euro? The European Central Bank is due to announce its rate decision this afternoon and conduct a press conference thereafter. The ECB may potentially aim to calm the market after German Bonds took a hit. If the ECB remains dovish and also reassures the market of the Eurozone’s fiscal and monetary policy, the Euro can retrace in the short term. Analysts currently advise today’s ECB meeting will most likely be the most interesting in years and the most unpredictable. Markets are expecting a rate of 2.65% from the ECB. Analysts at Morgan Stanley believe the ECB will maintain its "dovish" stance in March and April to support the economy, especially as inflation slowed to 2.4% in February from 2.5% the previous month, nearing the 2.0% target. If the ECB advice rates are likely to continue falling in 2025, the Euro will struggle to maintain bullish momentum.   EURUSD - Technical Analysis and Indicators The EURUSD is still witnessing indications of bullish price movement on the 2-hour chart and fundamentals also support the upward price movement. However, simultaneously, the price is obtaining indications the currency is overbought in the short to medium term. The EURUSD is trading above the overbought level on the RSI and is obtaining a divergence signal on most timeframes.       Therefore, the possibility of the price being overbought and retracing remains, but the price action will depend on the ECB. Until the ECB’s rate decision and press conference, the average price at 1.08000 will be key as it has been so far today.   Key Takeaway Points: The Euro surged over 4% in four days, its best performance since COVID lockdowns, driven by European bond market turmoil. The EU’s ‘re-arm’ plans and rising German bond yields boost the Euro, but US tariffs and ECB decisions may impact its trend. The ECB’s upcoming rate decision and monetary policy stance could shape short-term price movements, with a dovish approach expected. Despite strong fundamentals, RSI overbought levels and divergence signals suggest a possible retracement, depending on the ECB. Always trade with strict risk management.
