GBP/USD Bullish Shark Pattern

Finally a little reprieve for GBP/USD. Looking at yesterdays
Doji formation just atop the 200 SMA, it looks like GBP/USD
will retrace after a 2 week waterfall. However, be patient
with your entries at least for this pattern on the daily time
frame; obviously on lower time frames one could open long
positions until price closes above 1.3772.

If price gets rejected at the 61.8% retracement level we
would be looking at a 2618 pattern after the double top
formation from 2 weeks ago. Also bear in mind next weeks
GBP interest rate decision, and the rumours surrounding
a rate hike seem bleak thus from a fundamental aspect
this could turn into a 2618 trade.

Note also that today the 1.618 Fibo time zone has been
reached - measured from A to B to C. It may not mean
much, however, looking at yesterdays Doji it could reveal
the start of a retracement.

suiting your personal risk management profile.
