FOREX: GBP/USD
GBPUSD already developed this main descending-triangle-formation which also already completed with a sufficient breakout to the upside and activated upside targets, besides that now I discovered a further formational structure that can lead to great developments and approaching of the target-zone ahead of next times. As when looking at my chart now we can watch there how GBPUSD has established this ascending-channel-formation in the structure with the coherent wave-count within and the waves A to D almost already completed, now GBPUSD is about to form the wave E in the structure which can lead to an extension when GBPUSD shows up with the right price-action and increases demand. This will happen when GBPUSD manages to breakout above the upper-boundary of the ascending-channel as is marked in my chart, such a breakout will be the origin for further continuations to the upside and will activate the upside-targets marked in my chart in blue within the 1.408 level, once these targets are reached the situation needs to be elevated anew.
FOREX: EUR/USD
As it can be clearly inferred from the chart, there are two possible Sell zones plotted out. Our bias is bearish for this pair, therefore, we are looking for sell opportunities. After a massive drop to the 1.178 level, the price went up for a correction. It is impossible to predict when the correction will end, but we will be monitoring this pair closely and looking for short positions around the zones illustrated on the graph
