Trying to read Daily GBPNZD

Post by PvO »

I am trying to read this GBNZD Daily chart as a means of education and trying to decipher what the next move will be.
The circles are areas where (breakout) longs got trapped. The rectangles are areas where shorts got trapped. The rectangle to the right was higher then before so earlier shorts could not get out BE or with profit. Now this day was a spike up. Is this short covering?
Writing this I remember reading we should not predict what is the next move but jus follow along. So, say we wanted to trade this pair, are we in a waiting mode?
Is my 'story' on the circles and rectangles correct?

Remember the Fox is running the 1st and 3rd pushes while the retail traders are left to run the 2nd push.

How about a chart Amit as I don't see a SH after the PL....at the peaks, both high and low, there is chop...

Nor do I see the 4th level... but everybody is free to label their charts as they see fit

Looks like a rising wedge...

Thanks for the charts, they and 1-2-3-4-5 helps :)

It's not that easy seeing live, when the last set has ended and the 1st leg of a new set begins, prior to the "2" (of a 1-2-3-4-5 formation), as viewed on a few of your charts and this one.
