GBPUSD: Waiting for Confirmation of Bearish Trend

Short
FX:GBPUSD   British Pound / U.S. Dollar
The GBPUSD pair has formed a double top pattern, with divergence on momentum indicators, and is now completing a head and shoulders pattern. To confirm the start of a bearish trend, I will wait for the price to break below the neckline at 1.2350. However, I will likely wait for the price to bounce off support levels and re-enter slightly above the neckline (around 1.237), when it has captured some liquidity from traders anticipating a rapid decline, before entering a short position. This will enable me to capture more liquidity at a better price and minimize losses.

When trading, it is important to remember that the majority of traders (90%) lose money. Therefore, one should only sell at the highest possible price and buy at the lowest possible price, even if it means missing out on some opportunities. It is also crucial to avoid placing stop-loss orders in easily accessible locations, as prices often return to areas of liquidity. Finally, instead of chasing prices, one should wait for them to come to their desired conditions.
