GBPUSD Trading Analysis
GBPUSD Trading Analysis
Dear traders,
The trading analysis from last time enfolded beautifully well. I managed to take a position off my Twitter analysis HERE
Initially I managed to get 5R ratio, which means the risk I took was rewarded 5 times.
Gradually I lifted my stop loss and managed to secure a small part of the profit.
In the following trading sessions unfortunately, there was a bullish engulfing pattern that formed on the daily chart. This candlestick pattern led to a massive sell-out the following day.
Since I did not close my position (partially my mistake) at that time, price moved back down to my stop loss level and I got closed out.
Sometimes you make mistakes by aiming too high and ignoring the current circumstances. I never said I was perfect and this is a great example of how I could have played this trade out better.
I was looking to get over 30 times the return of my original risk which was something I have accomplished in the past, but by continuously reading the market environment.
On this occasion, I ignored the following price action signals I was receiving from the daily chart and consequently the 4H chart.
GBPUSD Trading Analysis
Today’s trading analysis comes from the GBPUSD.
As you can see from the chart above, I believe there might be an opportunity to go long here.
GBPUSD reached a major support level just above 1.3000. The daily chart formed a bullish engulfing pattern and in the next few sessions I will be looking for a confirmation of that initial trading setup.
Ideally, I would like to see price returning back to the 1.3075 area and forming a bearish rejection or another significant bullish candlestick pattern.
Until that happens, I will be monitoring the price action of GBPUSD and planning my next move.
Happy Sunday,
Colibri Trader
