Good morning, happy members of the forum, please give your friends an opinion about the opportunity analysis on the GBP USD currency pair market today. On trading yesterday, GBP. USD looked like it was losing direction, my friends, GBP USD seemed to be moving without motivation, even from the trading volume, it was a bit quieter, we can see how the GBP USD was moving yesterday, which was unsettling, in terms of opening prices and prices. the close looks almost the same which describes that this currency pair is in a condition of flat movement in yesterday's trading.
Now for the day of my analysis, my friends are a little different, if I usually focus on one direction of price movement, today is precisely the last day of trading this week, I have two options to open positions later, namely the option to open positions " buy "and options for" sell "positions.
GBP USD Technical analysis
For the discussion of the first scenario in looking for profit opportunities in trading the GBP USD currency today I see with the first possibility that this currency pair will continue its decline as happened in the previous two days in this trading of the foreign exchange market. First, my friends can definitely see my picture which is shown below, it appears that GBP USD, which previously formed a channel, now the channel's support has been broken and in yesterday's trading this currency pair moved horizontally or sideways which indicates that it is making new price resistance below channel area. Now, if the price moves through yesterday's trading low then opening a "sell" position seems appropriate in this situation, with the target price at the 1.3611 level.
For the second scenario, the option is inversely proportional to the option in the second scenario, if the first scenario is "sell", then in the second scenario the option is "buy". Currently this morning, precisely at the beginning of the Asian session on the last trading day of this week, the price of the GBP.
USD currency pair seems to be stuck at the price level of 1.3724 where this price level, if we look to the left of the chart, there is a pile of prices around this price area which is price resistance for the current GBP USD. So if price volatility when entering the European session later this currency pair will show symptoms of an increase around this level, then the "buy" option is an option that is considered suitable for this second situation.
the price movement has formed as the first swing hight as the left shoulder, the second swing hight as well as the highest one, as the head and the third swing hight which is parallel to the first swing as the right shoulder. Besides, as confirmation, the neckline level of the' pattern has been broken with a significant movement. So that the break that has occurred is considered valid and not part of market manipulation such as a false breakout.
The descending movement this time is likely to last quite a while. Because basically the major trend is pointing downwards. This means that the downward movement is currently in a condition of 'follow the trend' and it is not impossible if the price falls very closely following the direction of price movements on large time frames.
Automatically in the current conditions of USD CAD, the sell option makes the most sense to run. Either by immediately opening a position at the current price because the price has made a breakout of the neckline level of the 'Head and Shoulders' pattern. The invalidation area is above the swing highs of the' pattern with a target at the resistance become support (rbs) 1.2537 level.
