The Oldest Pair I've TradedDo you still remember those unforgettable moments when I first embarked on my trading journey with GBPJPY? It holds a special place in my heart as the very first pair I traded, and I stuck with it through the ups and downs until the spread for GBPJPY skyrocketed to 14 pips for an extended period. Oh, the memories!
Presently, GBPJPY finds itself in a captivating sideways movement, offering ample opportunities for those employing the support and resistance trading strategy. It's a perfect scenario for executing the age-old principle of buying low and selling high, or even exploring the realm of harmonic patterns.

It's Merely a RetracementIn a world where media and forums express bearish sentiments towards USDJPY, my unwavering bullish stance may have caught your attention. While others see a bearish retracement, I invite you to see the bigger picture.
Take a glance at the weekly chart on the right, and you'll witness the bearish movement as nothing more than a mere retracement of the monumental US dollar skyrocketing trend I accurately predicted on 14th October 2021. It is this understanding that fuels my anticipation for an imminent buying opportunity.
My attention is fixed on the 1-hourly chart on the left, where the market is poised to retest the crucial level of 137.46. This critical juncture presents the ideal scenario for a potential buying opportunity, perfectly aligning with the formation of a Bullish Bat Pattern.
While others succumb to pessimism, I see the hidden potential for USDJPY to surge once again.
A Closer LookThe Intriguing Factors That Have Sustained My Interest in This Promising Buying Opportunity
When it comes to GBPUSD, my sights are set firmly on one direction: buying opportunities. The stage is set for a potentially lucrative trade, and I'm eagerly awaiting the perfect entry point.
On the 4-hourly chart, a retest of the trendline (right) holds the key to triggering a buying opportunity. As long as the price remains above the lowest trendline, a breakout could present an ideal entry. Alternatively, a break and close above the high at 1.2483 (also on the 4-hourly chart) could be the signal to jump in.
Delving deeper, the 1-hourly chart (left) offers additional scenarios for a potential buying opportunity. A retest of support at 1.2421 or a more significant level at 1.2395 could both serve as triggers for an entry.
But why this unwavering persistence? Let's turn our attention to the weekly chart, where a break and close above resistance becomes a compelling catalyst for my bullish stance. Although we remain within the sell zone, I'm already scouting for buying opportunities, anticipating a potential shift in momentum.
Now, what if I'm wrong? It's a calculated risk. I understand that hitting stops is a possibility, but I mitigate that risk by ensuring most of my trades have a profit factor of 2. This means I can maintain profitability with a 40% accuracy rate.
So, as the GBPUSD landscape unfolds, I remain resolute in my pursuit of buying opportunities, armed with strategic insights and a calculated approach to capitalize on potential gains.
