Asset: EURGBP
Timeframe: Daily
Pattern: Bullish divergence
Sentiments: Bullish

Bullish Sentiment and Fundamentals: Ensure that the overall market sentiment and fundamental analysis align with a bullish outlook for EURGBP.
3. Trade Setup:
Entry Point: Enter a long position at the close of a bullish candlestick pattern that confirms the divergence. Look for additional confirmation from fundamental news or sentiment shifts.
Stop-Loss: Set the stop-loss order below the recent swing low to limit potential losses if the price moves against your position. Ensure that the stop-loss level is at a logical support level to avoid being stopped out by normal market fluctuations.
Take-Profit: Determine your take-profit target based on key resistance levels or a favorable risk-reward ratio. Consider using a risk-reward ratio of at least 1:2 to ensure that potential profits outweigh potential losses.
