Expecting a bearish breakout from the triangle.
Target zone = 1.34759, aligning with previous liquidity + measured move.

Take Profit (TP): At 1.34603.

🔵 Trade Rationale:
Price has pulled back to retest the broken neckline, forming a possible lower high.

Summary:
This is a bearish setup betting on the continuation of the downtrend after a retest of former support (now resistance). The trade idea involves:
Risk-to-Reward Ratio: Favorable, as the potential reward (to TP) is greater than the risk (to SL).
Confirmation: Watch for bearish candlestick signals before entering to confirm resistance is holding.

News Trading - After release📉 News Spike Reversal – GBPUSD & USTEC, 15min
This example highlights how the ELFIEDT RSI + 3SD Reversion Strategy can be used to catch sharp pullbacks after a news-driven price spike, using statistically overextended conditions and volume-confirmed exhaustion.
🔻 What Happened Here:
📍 1. Sudden Spike on News Release
Both GBPUSD and USTEC experienced a sharp rally — likely due to a high-impact economic release or scheduled news event. This kind of impulsive movement often creates price extensions beyond normal volatility ranges.
📍 2. “DOWN” Signal Triggered on Both Assets
As price surged higher, the indicator detected that:
Price exceeded the upper statistical band (3SD above the moving average)
RSI entered extreme territory
Volume activity was significantly elevated
This triggered a “DOWN” label on both charts, flagging the area as a potential short-term top.
📍 3. High-Probability Reversal Back Toward the News Origin Zone
After the initial spike, both instruments retraced sharply, pulling back into the prior consolidation range — a classic “retest of the news move” often seen when markets overreact and correct shortly after.
✅ How You Could Have Traded It:
Watch for news-driven price surges — the strategy is built to detect extreme moves.
When the “DOWN” label appears on both instruments around the same time, it adds confluence — this increases conviction in the reversal potential.
Look for candle confirmation (e.g., bearish engulfing or long upper wick) to time the entry.
Target the origin of the news spike or the prior resistance zone as your first take-profit level.
🔁 Bonus: Multi-Asset Confluence
When two different markets react similarly to news and print simultaneous reversal signals, this serves as a strong confidence boost — especially when both RSI readings also begin to reverse from extremes.
This dual example shows how the ELFIEDT strategy can help traders avoid emotional trades during news volatility and instead catch logical pullbacks after the dust settles.

GBP/USD LONG FROM SUPPORT
Hello, Friends!
GBP/USD pair is trading in a local uptrend which know by looking at the previous 1W candle which is green. On the 4H timeframe the pair is going down. The pair is oversold because the price is close to the lower band of the BB indicator. So we are looking to buy the pair with the lower BB line acting as support. The next target is 1.358 area.

You can set up a BUY signal now with SL placed below the candle wick. After touching 1.356, we can wait for the price reaction and set up a SELL signal again following the sideways border.
Do you agree with our view of buying 1.34900 and SL 1.34600?

LONDON BREAKOUTLondon Breakout Strategy – GBP/USD (June 9)
Today’s setup follows the same logic: I marked the high and low between 04:00 to 06:00 UTC to define the pre-London range. Once the London session opened and bearish momentum appeared, I took a sell trade.
Entry (Sell): 1.34820 – Entered as price broke below the early range with momentum.
Stop Loss (SL): 1.35462 – Placed just above the high of the 4–6 UTC range.
Take Profit (TP): 1.33855 – Based on a 1.5x reward relative to the stop-loss distance.
This strategy is designed to capture London session breakouts with a clear structure and defined risk.

$GU (GBPUSD) 4H AnalysisExpectation: Break of trendline → retest → drop toward 1.34450 liquidity.
Momentum is exhausting near resistance, and price is now testing a key ascending trendline...We’ve swept short-term buy stops and failed to sustain bullish continuation.
Buy-side liquidity above recent highs has been swept.
Now, sell-side liquidity rests below 1.35240 (marked in red), a key equal low / internal liquidity pool...Below that, there’s a clean draw to the 1.34450–1.34143 imbalance zone, where liquidity and inefficiency align.
Price could pull back after the trendline break, then resume bearish continuation.
GbpusdI think we are about to be in a ranging market because when the market failed to continue to give us HL and HH serially but resolve to equal high then and equal low then we are in range market.this are the first thing we must recognize as a trader because we are meant to trade the new leg to form in the market
GBPUSD - ShortLooking at a key supply area on the higher timeframe of GBPUSD
We now have a structural shift to the downside on the 1H TF that has left an unmitigated OB with a level of inducement.
Pending order will be set on this pair @ 1.35676
We will see how the market plays out around this area
Peace
