GBPUSD short on bearish overlap bar

67
Finally took this short trade because there's a few things going on here that I believe point to a bearish momentum. Let's break down what we're seeing.
1. Bearish rejection bar: that breakout is deemed false. It is no longer holding up.
2. The bullish bar after the bearish fakeout is much smaller. It signals that for the past day, we might've experienced short sellers covering position. However, it is not nearly strong enough to change the trend direction.
3. I am shorting this pair with a 4H timeframe bearish bar acceleration expectations. Please see the trade idea update for the 4H chart.
