GBP/USD – 1H Smart Money Concept Outlook
The British Pound has come under intense bearish pressure after rejecting the 1.3720 zone, where a significant buy-side liquidity sweep occurred. Following that manipulation, price shifted structure to the downside, confirming the presence of institutional selling.
- Market Structure: The pair is now firmly in a bearish order flow, printing consistent lower highs and lower lows. The recent sell-off confirms the momentum remains with the bears.
- Order Blocks & Imbalances: A key bearish order block is located in the 1.3600–1.3620 zone, formed before the sharp drop. If price retraces, this area could serve as a premium short-entry region. A Fair Value Gap (FVG) exists between 1.3550–1.3580, suggesting a possible corrective move before continuation lower.
- Liquidity Zones:
- Sell-Side Liquidity: The immediate downside draw lies around 1.3440, with a deeper liquidity pool near 1.3400. These zones are highly likely to be targeted in the coming sessions.
- Buy-Side Liquidity: Resting above the 1.3550–1.3600 OB, which may get tapped if a retracement unfolds.
Outlook:
Primary bias: Continuation lower, targeting 1.3440 – 1.3400 sell-side liquidity.
Alternative scenario: A retracement into 1.3550–1.3600 (OB + FVG) could provide new shorting opportunities.
