GBPUSD: Looking For A Wave 4 Retrace

FX:GBPUSD   British Pound / U.S. Dollar
Ok, after a large drop in what I had projected was a wave 3 of 3 of 3, what is next for this pair? Well, here's what I am seeing....

Since it is obvious that this was a wave 3 type move, then the next move has got to be a retracement. By my count, a wave iv retrace. Remember, wave iv's are very hard to predict and usually not very good to trade but they are tradeable. Usually, after a large move, there is usually a large counter move. Usually, not always.

But for now, the difficulty is figuring out where this wave 3 will end? Such a large drop with so much momentum is not easy to see where it ends. I know many people tried to trade a Bat pattern off that drop and were basically rolled over and trampled! I recommended to anyone who would listen to NOT trade that bat! If you listened, you saved yourself some pips!

But here, what I am showing is a POTENTIAL crab pattern that may point to the end of the wave iii, It ISN'T filled yet! still need prices to drop a little more to fill it. And that is what I am expecting to happen. There is also a MAJOR SR Structure there just below where prices are right now (as of this post). This is a point that I will be looking at for the wave iii to end and prices to reverse in a wave iv retrace. Obviously, prices are very, very much oversold (on the 1hr and 4 hr TF's ). There is also the 2.24 and 3.14 fib levels at that same point.

MY TRADE PLAN
I am looking for a good place to get LONG on this pair. The completion of the crab pattern would be a good place or the MAJOR SR Structure would also be a good place. Remember, just because the pattern is there, does not mean prices need to fill it. I am not placing a limit order for the entry as I am waiting to see price action to confirm a reverse. I will be sending out a TRADE Alert when I see a good entry to my paid members first. I'll post it here but delayed as I will post here when I have time to do so.
