On September 16, I posted on social media: “GBPUSD - Watch for selling opportunities as long as the price stays below 1.3060.” The chart below of the GBPUSD pair was also posted on social media, showing that a bearish market pattern (light blue) formed and triggered sell signals at the 0.886% Fib. retracement level.
The bearish pattern (light blue) also triggered sell signals in a key resistance zone (pink), which was clearly visible and signaled to traders to only look for selling opportunities. I called for traders to sell GBPUSD and stated that only a move above the pink resistance zone would invalidate the sell trade setup. The stop loss was set above this zone, targeting the green 1:1 RR and 1:2 RR targets.

GBPUSD eventually moved lower and, on September 23, the price hit the 1:3 RR target at 1.2703 from 1.29973 for +270 pips. The chart below also displays bearish divergence patterns before the decline and during the move lower.

Of course, like any strategy, there will be times when the chosen approach fails so proper money/risk management should always be used on every trade.
