|The chart below was also posted on social media StockTwits/Twitter @AidanFX August 21 2020 showing that bullish market patterns were visible on the 1 hour chart calling for a move higher. Bullish Pattern (blue) triggered BUYS at the XA 0.886 Fib. retracement level and the bullish AB=CD pattern (purple) triggered BUYS at the AB=CD level. I called for traders to add EURJPY LONGS/BUYS with a tight stop loss at the point X of the blue bullish pattern. Bullish divergence pattern (pink) added more confirmation to enter the 2nd BUY. 2nd BUY entry triggered at 124.65 with stop loss at 124.30.
