GBP USD Technical Analysis - GBP USD Trading: 2014-10-23
Pending British pound
Today we consider the daily chart of GBP/USD currency pair. The price is going down within the daily and weekly downtrend channel. There was a breakout of the daily trend line, but we assume it to be false: at the moment the price went back to the trend line. The downtrend price movement is confirmed by the DonchianChannel bias. Let us consider the RSI-Bars oscillator chart: we can observe that the triangle was formed. That means the market is waiting for further action and has not decided yet on the direction. The triangle top side was breached, and that gives us a warning about a possible change in the current price trend. In order to get an additional confirmatory bearish signal, we may wait for the oscillator level breakout at 29.5458%. It will happen before Parabolic trend indicator gives us a signal by crossing the price level at 1.5869. This mark can be used for placing a pending sell order. It is reinforced with the DonchianChannel lower boundary, Parabolic historical values and Bill Williams fractal. Stop Loss is recommended to be placed at the high of 1.6233. Its significance is confirmed by the fractal and Parabolic values.
After position opening, Trailing Stop is to be moved after the Parabolic values, near the next fractal peak. Updating is enough to be done every day after a new Bill Williams fractal formation (5 candlesticks). Thus, we are changing the probable profit/loss ratio to the breakeven point.
