GBPUSD - Long opportunity
Second retest back into a strong demand / support area , possible retracement, long opportunity.
(Notice the first retest is always a stronger signal)
Stuff to remember:
— First look for significant move, then follow it to its origins where you might find a suitable level to evaluate further
— Make sure the initial move is significant on the same timeframe as the one you use for viewing your candidate level most clearly
— Check the distance that price traveled before the trend ended, longer distances mean larger initial imbalances and improved probabilities in the future
— The strong initial move can contain a few small retracements but not so many that make this move slow and weak
— Avoid opposing levels on the same and immediately higher timeframes, prefer to have a clear road ahead for your trade to run
— Make sure your level is placed correctly (low for Demand, high for Supply) in relation to the big picture's important tops and bottoms
— Trading the first return of price to a valid "fresh" level carries the highest probabilities due to the larger imbalance
— A valid level is considered "fresh" if price has not returned to it since its creation. It has nothing to do with how old the level is
