GBP/USD Elliott Wave: Buying the dips at the blue box area

In this technical article we’re going to take a quick look at the Elliott Wave charts of GBPUSD Forex Pair , published in members area of the website. As our members know, GBPUSD has recently given us correction against the 1.2664 low. The pair reached our target zone and completed correction right at the Equal Legs ( Blue Box Area) . In further text we’re going to explain the Elliott Wave pattern and trading setup.

GBP/USD four-hour update 09.09.2024

GBPUSD is correcting cycle from the 1.2664 low. The pull back shows lower low structure. Current view suggests another push down toward the extreme zone ( Blue Box ).  Despite the expected extension lower, we advise against selling GBPUSD at this stage.  We expect it to attract buyers at the Blue Box zone. We can see either rally towards new highs or a larger corrective bounce in three waves at least. Once the bounce reaches the 50% Fibonacci retracement level against the connector high – (X) blue , we’ll secure our position by moving the stop-loss to breakeven.  To safeguard our trade, we’ll closely monitor for any break below the marked invalidation level : 1.2941

A quick reminder:

Our charts are designed for simplicity and ease of trading:

  • Red bearish stamp + blue box = Selling Setup.

  • Green bullish stamp + blue box = Buying Setup.

  • Charts with Black stamps are deemed non-tradable.

GBP/USD four-hour update 09.14.2024

The pair made another leg down and found buyers within the Blue Box area as expected. We got a nice rally from our buying zone, counting pull back completed at the 1.2999 low. The bounce has exceeded the 50% Fibonacci retracement level against the connector peak – (b) blue.  As a result, traders who entered long positions are now enjoying risk-free profits. With the price holding above the  1.2999 low, we believe the next leg up can be in progress. For confirmation on the next leg up, we’re looking for a break above the ((i)) black high.
