  • Direction next higher degrees: Navy blue wave 2.

  • Details: Navy blue wave 1 remains active.

The Elliott Wave analysis for the GBPUSD daily chart from Trading Lounge highlights a bearish trend in the currency pair, driven by an impulsive wave structure. The current analysis identifies navy blue wave 1 as ongoing, signaling a continuation of the downward momentum within the broader bearish framework.

Currently positioned in gray wave 1, this impulsive movement suggests further price declines as the wave structure develops. The unfolding of navy blue wave 1 underscores the likelihood of sustained bearish pressure on GBPUSD, consistent with the broader trend direction.

The impulsive nature of the wave structure indicates strong, directional moves, supporting expectations for additional downside. An invalidation level is set at 1.34351, representing a crucial point in the analysis. A price movement to or above this level would invalidate the current wave structure, signaling a potential reversal or the start of a corrective phase. Such an event would prompt a re-evaluation of the Elliott Wave analysis.

Summary

This analysis reinforces a bearish perspective for GBPUSD as navy blue wave 1 progresses within the impulsive structure of gray wave 1. Traders should closely monitor price action near the invalidation level of 1.34351. A break above this threshold may indicate a reversal or necessitate a reassessment of the wave structure, deviating from the current bearish trend outlook.
