GBPUSD overall is in a downtrend on the higher time frames (4H and above). We have added a Daily chart image with notes below this text. Price is currently trading within a range (red lines) and has recently failed to successfully break out of the top of the range. Price is in a small uptrend and close to touching the up trend line for a possible rejection and bullish continuation, or a break below. We have marked two high probability scenario's with arrows on the chart.
Bullish scenario; -Price tests uptrend and/or support level -The up trend is in line with a support level (blue line) which would add confluence to a buy if we get a strong sign of rejection on the 1H or 4H charts, ideally a large bullish engulfing or pin bar followed by strong bullish momentum -Targeting the HTF downtrend line/next resistance (red line above downtrend line) and possibly further
Bearish scenario; -Price breaks below the uptrend line and support level -Price retests the support level and/or uptrend line and rejects this area with strong bearish momentum candles -Targeting the bottom of the range
We have a bullish bias on this pair, due to the break of the top of the range, we expect price to attempt to form a new lower high towards the HTF downtrend line but we always make sure to forecast many possible scenario's.
