MARKET PHASE
GBPUSD
is in a long term downtrend (daily) with a short term corrective structure that has been taking place (4 hour).
AREA OF VALUE
Price continued to break new highs within this corrective structure. Eventually, price reached an area where sellers stepped in, resulting in a buildup of liquidity (buy stops, longs, short stop losses) above the corrective structure swing highs. Price violently moved up to trigger the buy stops (liquidity) to pair against the sell orders needed to take price down. Price then started it's initial move down and actually sustained selling pressure for some time. Due to the velocity of the downward move, priced gapped around 1.26494. During this mornings US GDP data, price spiked up and retraced exactly to this level and hit our sell limit. We are now in a short with the following parameters:
TRADE
Sell Limit: 1.26494
Stop Loss: 1.26644 (Price hit 1R so SL moved to 1.26569)
Take Profit: 1.26194
