Bullish GBP/USD Trade Prediction and AnalysisOn May 9th we see price run below the low of May 6th and then quickly reverses back above the low (the stop hunt). Price then breaks market structure to the upside, as indicated on the chart by the grey arrow pointing to the right. If you read my previous post, then you are aware of what we are looking for as institutional traders once we see this type of price action, if you didn't you can read my previous post via the "Related Ideas" section at the end of this post. Institutional traders directly highlight the bullish candle which initiated the stop hunt beneath the low of May 6th. This is our 1H bullish ICT breaker block and it is represented by the dark blue rectangle on the chart. Notice how price is currently accumulating within the breaker block (the calm before the storm). My entry was taken just below the equal lows of the May 10th 06:00 (UTC-4) candle and the May 9th 10:00 (UTC-4) candle. I placed my entry here because I expected price to stop hunt the sell side liquidity below these equal lows (this stop hunt is shown by the higher white line). Notice how the candle I entered on trades below the white line and then reverses, closing above it. This is the exact same phenomenon which occurred on May 9th and can be seen more clearly on a lower timeframe. My stop loss is placed below the close of the 1H +OB (represented by the light blue rectangle) giving the trade sufficient room to breathe. My target is placed above the current high of the week (represented by the lower green line) at the start of the imbalance formed on May 5th (represented by the upper green line). The trade is framed on the weekly bullish order block equilibrium level. Price doesn't quite reach this level but given the market is currently trading within the 1W +OB the trade is still valid. The market could trade as far as the 1D -BB level represented on the chart by the red line before we see any selling return. Note that GBP/USD is currently in a long-term downtrend and as such this is a counter-trend trade. Price could easily fall beneath the lows of May 9th and continue its downward trend. As traders, all we can do is follow our rules, buy and sell at levels which make sense and let the market handle the rest. If this trade loses I will not be bothered or angry because no system is perfect. A wise man called Mark Douglas once said "the trades we lose are the expenses we pay in order to be available for the trades that win," or something like that haha. The point is there will be losers and winners, as long as your winners pay more than your losing trades take away, you can make it in this business. Thank you for reading and may the markets be with you.

GBPUSD Small Countertrend Long PositionHi Traders, Yes, GBP/USD is still falling along with many other markets. We have not bottomed out as yet – No confirmation suggests a reversal as yet. If the price retraces slowly back into the yellow zone, I am looking at a small buy position. It is a countertrend trade so I will be risking a very small amount. We have a large bullish impulsive candle that took out previous price structure. If the price retraces with low bearish volume, I would consider jumping in on this counter-trend position with a Risk/Reward of 1 / 4. Have a great day. See you on the next one The Vortex Trader

Testing out a new strategy on gbpjpyThis strategy doesn't depend really on market direction. It's mainly orderblock, S&R and fair value gap. ACRONYMS USED HERE ARE; BMS-Break in Market Structure. ORB- Order Block. FVG- Fair Value Gap. Let me walk you through my thought process; First Identify your order block Find your resistance Find your fvg Now you can decide to do two things depending on whether you're the aggressive or conservative trader. If you're aggressive, you could either open a trade at the fvg, where your sl is either below the close of the first candle or just below the orb. If you're the conservative type you'd want to open the trade at the retest of the orb, place your sl just below the zone adn your TP1 should be the fvg and tp2 should be the next high

BTC/USDT : Second stand of bearish wave!BINANCE:BTCUSDT Hello everyone 😃 Before we start to discuss, I'll be so glad if you share your opinion on this post's comment section and hit the like button if you enjoyed it! We nailed our last two calls on $BTC and now I'm going to call the third and last mid-term position. There's a formed supply candle with the order-block formation on candles body. Also Any break above the zone, Will lead the pair to $39200, and also there's another S/R zone located below. So based on the data we have, Everything is matched for the next bearish wave! But the main Idea is coming from our last exclusive Analyzes on weekly TF : Trading setup : 🔻 Entry Pointes : $36500 - $37000 - $37500 📍Targets : $35000 - $32800 - $30700 - $28800 🟥 Overall stop-loss : $39200 ( Three Candles Close ) 📚 If we get caught on SL then, I'll move on and wait for the next Short entry till $42400.
