I see... I thought the pair might be able to visit my upper BB boundary in 4H TF... If it is traded ranging in respect to the channel, I'll say it is still possible for some fresh air up above before hit and drown...
Still flat for today, but bull sentiment is stronger a moment ago...

the h4 is forming a bearish pennant. Only a breach of 5525 will invalidate the pattern. wanna be careful with the longs unless doing it for some quickies.

short 54595
s/l 54820
t/p 54050
I'm taking this trade on my view that we are not going to break any higher and that we are currently at the top of my range...
risking 2% and looking to gain 5%, not ideal but like I said, confident that we aren't going any higher...
Lets hope I don't look like a arse with this call

76 for the stop will most likely get hit methinks. way too tight if you ask me.
I'm looking at the d1 btw, & you're placing your stop where the last time price was here, that level got tested many times. it took a while to get going, i think a higher stop and a reduced risk won't hurt.
just a thought.
the d1 chart:

The point a few are trying to make here is that IF you want to take a trade without it testing, reversing and confirming a short (something I would have done) then at least set your SL to an obvious level above the aforementioned resistance, or else you miss out on both scenarios.

tight 80 pip range will only work from the ltf, but given the 3 s/r around here it's way too easy to get killed without the proper skills. I'm only trading the htf for now & the D1 candle is still neutral. good decision staying flat

The weekly has a beautiful pennant. Paterns within patterns within patterns.
And if the W1 close anywhere near 5440 or lower, we'll get the crows ... again
still 2 days to see how that one goes tho

Don't be a hero. Don't have an ego. Always question yourself
Thanks wormboy, I'm still learning, and starting to get used to the hunch, lol...
Anyway, no good signal, either way in the market means stay the hell out of it, unless you have a really massive cash pumping the market...

if cable clears the monthly pvp on the H4, 1.524 is my target.
