Pair: GBP/USD
Market Condition: Sideways / Consolidation
Strategy: Breakout above Resistance
Entry (Buy Stop): At Resistance 2 (R2)
Stop Loss (SL): Below Resistance 1 (R1)
Take Profit 1 (TP1): As mentioned
Take Profit 2 (TP2): As mentioned
Risk-Reward: 1:1 and 1:2 structure
Trade Type: Momentum Breakout
🔍 Market Outlook:
GBP/USD is currently trading in a horizontal range, with clear resistance and support zones defining the structure. Price action suggests a potential breakout if buyers gain control and push past Resistance 2 (R2).
We’re preparing to enter only if price confirms bullish momentum above the range — avoiding false breakouts and trapping zones.
✅ Trade Setup Details:
Entry Point (Buy Stop): At R2 – Entry above range to confirm breakout
Stop Loss (SL): Below R1 – Invalidation point if breakout fails
TP1: Near the next short-term resistance or measured move from range width (1:1)
TP2: Next major resistance above breakout zone (1:2)
We’re splitting the trade into two:
Trade 1: Risk $100 / Reward $100 (1:1)
Trade 2: Risk $100 / Reward $200 (1:2)
📈 Why This Setup?
1. Breakout Opportunity in Consolidation:
Price is compressing within a sideways range — typically a precursor to explosive movement once a key level is breached.
2. GBP Strength Potential:
GBP is supported by better-than-expected UK data recently. If the USD weakens or if risk appetite increases, a breakout may follow.
3. Clear Technical Levels:
R1 and R2 clearly defined as resistance zones
Waiting for confirmation above R2 avoids early entry traps
Using R1 as SL provides natural technical invalidation
📌 Summary:
We’re trading the breakout strategy smartly — no rushing in. Entry only triggers once price confirms momentum by breaking R2. SL is safe below R1, and TP levels are measured for realistic risk-reward.
🛑 Risk management is key. Monitor US and UK data/events that could impact volatility (like inflation or interest rate announcements).
