pattern recognition - identified correctional wave
trade rationale
my trades rationale is based on technical analysis.
there has recently been what i would call a change of trend from down to up.
having plotted several fib lines…i identified a region in price that is a KEY DECISION POINT ie lots of FIB retracements and expansions clustered above and around the 1.266 level
i determined that along with this strong INDICATION that if price retraced from this point …the fact that i see a nice zig zag pattern which also indicates from my analysis that price could be ready for a reversal of trend…and taking into account some fundamental data…
i felt strongly that price would be ready to get back on the downward trend and correct itself.
hence i set my profit target just above the 1.272 fib extension of the red and blue part of the ZIGZAG.
i anticipate the correction fully unfolding before wednesday next week.
trade adjustment.
if price gets close to profit target …then i will take 75 percent of my profit and leave the rest on …and adjust my stop loss to a level just above the retracement.
happy trading.
