Ichimoku clouds over GBPUSD – Kiana Danial with Capital Index

Ichimoku Clouds over GBPUSD | Technical Analysis

We have passed two weeks of incredible volatility and firework event risk. GBP/USD erased all the previous corrections on Friday and dived back to the post-Brexit referendum level at 1.29, forming a strong bearish engulfing candlestick pattern. With that, we might see yet another test of 1.2875 support level this week.

As the thickening Ichimoku clouds over GBPUSD acting as a massive resistance, the all time low of 1.28 becomes stronger of a support. The pair now has a very narrow range between this support and resistance. And a break below 1.28 could now be more catastrophic than ever because it could open doors to serious downfalls towards 1.25.

Ichimoku Cloud Over GBPUSD – Technical Analysis

Alternatively, a breakthrough the Ichimoku cloud could indicate a long-term consolidation until the Brits figure out their Brexit details. Pivot/ resistance levels are set at Fibonacci retracement levels at 1.3345, 1.3630, and 1.3850 respectively. Long term resistance is set above Ichimoku at 1.4090.

Hot Market Moving Events Coming Up…

Coming up in the economic calendar today during the London session we have German Ifo Business Climate at 8 AM GMT which is one of the country’s key business sentiment surveys.

Have you added my book to your library?

The US will release their New Home Sales (AUG) during the New York session at 2 PM. Also pay attention to speeches from ECB and FOMC members later during the New York session which could create volatility in the EUR/USD pair.

Market Sentiment – Ichimoku Clouds over GBPUSD

On Monday’s Sydney market open the GBP/USD market sentiment was pretty bearish as 79% of traders were long on the pair. Using this as a contrarian indicator, we could expect further drops towards 1.2870 this week.

Trading Strategy – Ichimoku Clouds over GBPUSD

Putting the technical, fundamental and sentimental points of the IDDA approach together, we have the below two scenarios for GBP/USD.

Bullish Scenario:

In my piece two weeks ago, I predicted that the pair could move back towards 1.2875. Guess what is happening this week?

That’s why they call me Invest Diva my friends!

As GBPUSD reaches Ichimoku cloud, we could prepare for a long-term range trading strategy. Pivot targets are stated below.

One strategy is to buy at the bottom at 1.2875 and aim for the Fibonacci retracement levels depending on your risk tolerance.

Bearish Scenario: On worse than expected UK data or better than expected US data we could see the pair moving back to the all time low of 1.2875. Short term bears can take advantage of this move on market news.

However as mentioned above, for a long-term bearish scenario we need a pretty damn strong confirmation of a break below 1.28.

Stay tuned for market updates and signals on that my fellow invest divas.

Here are Invest Diva’s calculations for important GBP/USD approximate levels to keep an eye on:

Support Levels	Turning Point	Resistance Levels
1.2875	1.3345	1.3850
1.26	1.3630	1.4090

Bitcoin Drops Entering 2026: Is It Still Worth Investing? The Answer Most Investors Miss

January 2, 2026 No Comments

Bitcoin has entered 2026 under pressure, with prices pulling back after a volatile period that left many investors questioning whether the opportunity has passed. Headlines are once again split between fear and optimism, with some calling the recent drop a warning sign and others viewing it as a healthy reset.

Unlike speculative assets that rely on constant growth stories, Bitcoin’s relevance continues to rest on its role as a scarce, decentralised digital asset that operates outside traditional financial systems. The key question for investors now is not whether Bitcoin will remain volatile – but whether this moment represents risk, opportunity, or something most investors misunderstand.

December 26, 2025 No Comments

American Express is often viewed as a mature, well understood credit card company, but its role in the financial system is broader than many investors realize.

It sits at the center of consumer spending, business payments, travel, credit risk, and data driven decision making. As these areas evolve, the dynamics shaping American Express stock are becoming more complex and, in some cases, less obvious.

Premium consumer behavior, business spending patterns, regulatory scrutiny, and technological change are all influencing how payment companies operate and compete.

Why Big Tech Is Quietly Buying Western Digital (WDC) Stock

December 12, 2025 No Comments

Western Digital Corporation (WDC) has been on a tear, its stock price soaring over 270% year-to-date as of early December 2025.

This massive growth isn’t just hype; it’s fueled by a perfect storm of events, including the strategic spin-off of its flash business, SanDisk, and an insatiable global demand for data storage driven by the AI revolution.

As a now “pure-play” Hard Disk Drive (HDD) manufacturer, WDC is uniquely positioned as the landlord for the internet’s exploding data. But with such a meteoric rise, is there still room for growth, or is the stock overheated?
