GBPUSD 4H – Compression Before Breakout, Expansion LoadingBRITISH POUND VS US DOLLARTRADENATION:GBPUSDWeTradeWAVESAfter a strong impulsive move higher, price is now consolidating in a tight range, showing signs of controlled compression rather than weakness. This type of structure typically builds liquidity before the next expansion phase. The key mistake here is assuming direction too early. This range is designed to trap both breakout buyers and early sellers before the real move unfolds. If buyers maintain control, continuation higher becomes the path of least resistance. If not, the unwind could be sharp. Right now, it’s not about prediction, it’s about letting the market reveal intent after this compression phase. The next move is likely to be aggressive.
