24 Jan 2025 (Trade Example): GBPUSD

 GBPUSD long trade on 24/1/25

Pre-Analysis:

- Trade based on counter trend.

- As GBPUSD direction is down, upon buyers active on this pair to push price higher (this also mean a pullback/deal coming in) we can temporary trade for a long up until max of previous seller area on higher timeframe. In this case daily.

- This need to be a very careful trade.

- We only can consider this if the pullback came in strong, indicating there was buyers pushing this price.

- Strength meter for GBP and USD

Entry:

- Entry time around 10:00am (Asian session)
