Trade Strategy
Let’s delve into my trade strategy which is pretty straight forward. For right now, absent key risk event, I am only going by my charts and technical analysis. Price action today is too close to a technical resistance level. This means going long GBP, from a risk to reward perspective, is not justified. Timing is off. There are no bearish reversal indicators as well plus a positive RSI indicator. For now I will opt to stand aside and monitor my charts for a better trade opportunity.
