My Idea
On the H4 chart, based on the Heikin Ashi candles we can see that currently, we have strong bearish bodies in downward moving market conditions so it basically reflects a bearish environment. In addition to this, the price which is moving lower has created a bearish trend pattern in the form of three lower highs, lower lows which we may consider as evidence of bearish pressure. Generally, after a bearish trend pattern, we may expect corrections and then further continuation lower. Currently it looks like a correction is happening and also based on the Stochastic Oscillator we could see that the price has reached its extreme which we mat consider as another evidence of bearish pressure. Also, we had two strong support zones that has formed and the price which is moving lower has broken below these zones and is holding below them, we may consider this as yet another evidence of bearish pressure. Currently, these strong support zones are acting as strong resistance zones for us. Until these two strong resistance zones (marked in red) shown in the image below hold my view remains bearish here and I expect the price to move lower further.
GBPCAD H4(4 Hours) Chart Current Scenario
In this pair, based on the above analysis I mentioned that “until these two strong resistance zones hold my view remains bearish here and I expect the price to move lower further”. The price action followed my analysis exactly as I expected it to here. After the bearish trend pattern, the pullback that I was looking for happened with the price reaching the first strong resistance zone, created a false break of it and moved lower from this zone. The price then moved lower further as I expected it to and delivered 350+ pips move!
On the H4 chart, the market provided us with various facts supporting the bearish view. The price which was moving higher created a bearish divergence between the first high formed on 9th April 2024 and the second high which formed on 16th April 2024 based on the MACD indicator. The price then moved lower and broke below the most recent uptrend line. We may consider these as facts provided by the market supporting the bearish view and also there were no signs opposing this bearish view. Then as you can see in the image below how the price moved lower further after that and provided an excellent move to the downside!
As traders we always have two choices, the first one is to fall in love with our analysis and try to convince the market and expect the price to move in the direction as per our wish. The second one is to follow the facts that the market provides us and make the right actions according to that. As you know the first option won’t help us and as you can see in the example above what happened when we followed the facts that the market hinted to us and took the right action according to that.
