GBPUSD Short Idea

Short
Acitsilos Updated   
OANDA:GBPUSD   British Pound / U.S. Dollar
Similar to my AUDUSD idea, I have technical reasons to believe that GBPUSD is about to make a swift move downward.
Short term bear trend here has been obscured by absorbent buying on each attempt to flush out longs.
1:6 R:R

On Weekly timeframe you will see a just recently posted bearish engulfing candle.

On Monthly timeframe you will see a just recently posted hanging man candle.

USD continues to push up with the rest of the market and until trend suggests otherwise, I expect that to continue.

Thoughts?


Trade your own plan, this is just an idea.

Below is a view of the Weekly bearish engulfing.

Note the relentless puncture of the MA in the previously posted Weekly image.

Below is a view of the Monthly hanging man.

Off to a rough start on this trade idea, let's take a look at a larger timeframe though. Below is the 4-Hr chart, where we can see that even though it broke up and out from the 1-Hr range, there is still some approaching larger level resistance just above.
Another short opportunity with the same 1:6 R:R

Will be looking for rejection at the trend line and then will attempt a new short from there.
Order cancelled
