TRADE: GBPUSD: SELL@1.54810 Expanding Triangle Complete

Short
FX:GBPUSD   British Pound / U.S. Dollar
First, her's the DAILY chart I posted yesterday that better shows the overall picture of what I am working off of:

Though I am taking this trade, I have to say that there is a still a 50-50 chance that prices may still head higher before dropping as E waves in expanding triangles have a tendency to do. There is also that POTENTIAL bat that is looking overhead as well although it does not mean that prices need to fill it.

In any case, I am taking this trade due to the very, very good risk:reward it has. With this entry and the SL I would use, it represents an almost 14:1 R:R! If it goes as far as I'm targeting anyway.

But the reason I am taking this trade is because prices have completed the before-mentioned expanding triangle pattern AND have also reached the upper TL of a large ending descending diagonal pattern. Combined with my expected wave count that shows a move down is imminent, this trade makes sense.

MY TRADE PLAN

Stops will go above the recent highs. If the trade gets taken out, then I would look to the bat completion for another possible SHORT entry. But one thing at a time. My target is the completion of the LONG STANDING bat (blue) that is STILL VALID. That bat's completion would also be at the completion of the large ED pattern. From there, i will be looking for a VERY, VERY large move up!
