GBPUSD Technical Analysis
Using Elliott Waves to forecast the markets can allow a trader to decide which side to trade. Tracking GBPUSD at the start of the trading week (September 8/2019 – September 13/2019) we saw that there was a possible wave count that was calling the pair to trade higher. Before the start of the trading week we posted the chart below, in our members only area, advising our clients/members to watch for a possible move higher in the coming trading days.
GBPUSD 1 Hour Weekend Update Chart September 7/2019
The chart below shows GBPUSD terminated red wave B September 9/2019 which was followed by a bounce higher signalling that the correction lower possibly terminated and the pair would then extend higher. The invalidation level was quite far so conservative traders needed to wait for more confirmation that the red wave B has terminated. Aggressive traders could have taken the BUY on the red wave B down move but stop losses would have been wide.

GBPUSD continued higher and retraced lower determining that the small bounce higher would be the possible wave ((i)) of the higher degree red wave C. On September 10/2019 we advised clients/members that now was a good time to start looking for BUYS/LONGS against the invalidation level. In the chart below traders now saw that the low of red wave B must hold if any rally higher would happen. Placing the invalidation level at the red wave B low would allow our clients/members to enter the market with tighter stops.

GBPUSD 1 Hour Chart Asia Update September 13/2019
On September 12/2019 I posted on Twitter @AidanFX the BUY/LONG entry at 1.2337 with stop loss at 1.2282 of the wave ((ii)) low. The Bullish Flag Market Pattern in the chart below together with our Elliott Wave charts above clearly showed that the break above the top of flag trend line will push GBPUSD higher. The pair moved higher and has hit the TP3 target (1:3 R/R target) for +165 pips.
