EUR/GBP trade idea

Hello, I am a new trader and I just started using the actual charts. So I have been looking at the EURGBP chart with my basic skills and I found something interesting:


There has been a very long downtrend which is currently broken.
This leads to the question where is the re-test ?


Any of the two squares could have been the retest or it would be still to come. I think this could be decided by looking at the next chart.


In the last 3 days there has been a new trendline which has been tested a couple of times now. In my opinion if this shows to be another test and the price keeps going up without breaking it, this would mean that on the bigger scale chart, the price will never go back for another retest and will continue to go up.
This would mean a long trade.
I know that it is Friday so how would this affect my trade. This idea involves waiting for a couple of more periods before taking the trade.
I am an absolute newbie so I am accepting all kinds of critique including chart setting, process of finding a trade and the actual trade idea.

I went long late last week. Let’s make some pips.

The retest has already happened…

What about this? Looks bullish to me.

Looks pretty dead and buried to me… 29th December, I’m not surprised.

Dunno, I was short today.

(Sorry for drifting away from the topic, but is this Oanda’s fxTrade?)

Do you have short bias on a long term?
What do you mean in brackets? I do not use Oanda…

Never mind, forget it.

No. Intraday. I can’t say anything for long term. I’m not too familiar with this pair.

Short? Long?

Long (see picture last post)

at the same time I am short in GBP/CHF with TP at 1.465
My opinion is, that this will be the last run on both pairs. Then we´re going to touch important levels.
I will be flat after the a.m. moves, because the GBP will maybe receive back its strength.

I have also been looking at this setup. I went long this morning at 0.8101


Let’s see how this one plays out.

Happy trading, and welcome to BabyPips. :slight_smile:
