GBP/USD: Three Drives and Butterfly Patterns in PlayGood day Traders,
Trust you are doing great.
Here is my brief analysis of the GBPUSD pair.
Last week, a bullish Three Drives pattern was identified on GBP/USD, completing on October 17th. Following the pattern's completion, the market experienced a brief impulsive move to the upside before retracing back to the support zone. Currently, the market is testing this support level, and a sustained move higher could follow, further validating the typical characteristics of this pattern, often found at the end of a trend or correction. If the support holds, we anticipate a move toward the 1.31026 price region. Additionally, a potential Butterfly pattern appears to be emerging, with its completion also expected around the 1.3146 level.
This outlook will be invalidated if the price moves further down and breaks below the 1.29565 level.
Cheers and happy trading!!!

GBPUSD: A Cautionary Tale of Potential Bearish PatternsWhile the daily chart shows a potential Bearish Butterfly Pattern, my experience suggests this might not play out as expected - or it could be a significant warning sign for traders.
If you're considering shorting GBPUSD, I'd recommend a type 2 retest on the Bearish Deep Gartley Pattern at 1.2756 as a more reliable entry point.

Shorting Opportunity🔍📊 Current Market Overview:
I'm closely monitoring the EURUSD pair for a potential shorting opportunity on the higher timeframe. However, at the moment, two buying opportunities have emerged, which deserve our attention. Let's dive into the details:
🦋 Bullish Butterfly Pattern:
On the daily chart, we have identified a Bullish Butterfly Pattern with completion anticipated at 1.0355. This pattern suggests a potential buying opportunity, indicating a reversal in the price action. It's crucial to keep a close eye on the price as it approaches this level.
🦈 Bullish Shark Pattern:
Another interesting development is the Bullish Shark Pattern observed on the 4-hourly chart. This pattern is expected to complete around 1.0764, signalling a potential buying opportunity. However, it's important to remember that these patterns occur in the context of a counter-trend trading strategy.
💼 Trading Strategy:
Given the absence of a clear shorting opportunity, I will adopt a conservative approach and focus on the identified buying opportunities. I will set conservative targets for these trades while remaining vigilant for a suitable shorting opportunity to align with my overall strategy.
Dollar Bias!My Bias for Dollar Appreciation started on 14 Oct 2021; it has been right after all. The leading trade I'm looking at is a buying opportunity on the 1-hourly chart, left and might keep my final target open and observe the candlestick pattern movement when it approaches its new resistance level.
If you are looking for a counter-trend move, I've something for you. A Bearish Butterfly Pattern that seems to complete at 141.65; in order for this trading setup to complete, the candlesticks pattern must touch 141.51 within the next 2 candles, which means within 8 hours after the market opens.

OMG! Did I miss a trade?OMG! I was doing a qualifying call, and I might have missed the trade! And this is why I don't usually trade off the 15-minutes chart.
From my experience, this trade is gone, but a retest on 128.98 happens; it is a great second-chance entry.

USDCAD - Bearish ButterflyLast night during our live session in trading view(www.tradingview.com). I've mentioned that there's no need to chase after the USDCAD trade as there's a rate hike decision happening in less than an hour.

Missing a trade is better than getting into a trade you aren't supposed to take.
