The chart below is daily, and I’ve drawn 2 support trendlines - a red one representing the trendline connecting the lows of all the closes of daily candles, and a blue one connecting all the lows of the daily candles. Support trendlines derived either way tend to provide a reasonable amount of buying pressure until there is a candle closed below the support.
Something to take into consideration before you short just above a LTL (lower trendline)
. . .but hey - I’m not telling you to take the trades or not just offering my bias
No i hear what your saying, but i base all my trading decisions on the 4hr charts. I do look at higher time frames, but only briefly. I find if i look at daily then lower time frames i get confused because they show different views about the currency.
Ive attached my current chart with my 3 reasons as to why i went short at this level.
Yesterday saw this pair ranging all day due to the US bank holiday. Im still in the trade, its currently in a symmetrical triangle (ranging), and still expect it to move to the downside. We may get a re-test of the 0.8700 area but we’ll see.
I think now would be alot closer to a good short trade developing for EURGBP
A lower high has formed on the 4H chart, and it is sitting right on the lower trend line. I’d say that if the current 4hr bar clsoed below that trendline, or even if the price broke below 0.8664 I would be going short - based on my analysis. I’m not saying where a good place for stops or targets would be, or to “take the trade” for that matter.
