GBPJPY
Elliott Wave pattern, Harmonic pattern, Head and Shoulder pattern, Channel pattern, Wedge pattern, Triangle pattern, Cup and Handle pattern, W. Wave pattern, Double and Triple Bottom/Top patterns, Pennant pattern, Flag pattern are all market patterns that every trader sees everyday on every time frame. These market patterns all have precise trading entry levels and invalidation levels/stop loss levels. GBPJPY on the 1 hour chart produced two market pattern breakouts towards the end of February 2018 signalling bears/sellers that the pair was going to extend and make newer lows.
GBPJPY 1 Hour Chart (Two Bearish Patterns) The chart below clearly shows two market pattern breakouts. A Bearish Channel Pattern (Blue) and a Bearish Triangle Pattern (Green). On February 22/2018 price broke out of the blue bearish Channel pattern triggering sells at the 149.02 level calling that momentum has now possibly changed to the downside. The pair broke lower but then bounced and corrected higher but the movement higher did not have enough momentum to continue higher which then eventually formed the green bearish Triangle pattern. On February 28/2018 price broke below the green bearish Triangle and triggered sells at the 148.67 level and bears pushed the pair lower to newer lows. Both blue and green market patterns had precise entries and each had precise stop loss levels to invalidate the pattern. Any trader that was watching GBPJPY could have traded either one of these market patterns and would have banked over +250 pips hitting the 2:1 RR targets.
