EUR/GBP: Trading The Breakout

EUR/GBP 2-Hour Chart

EUR/GBP has shown some considerable supply on the same day as it broke the support. This earlier supply volumes were only matched by the apparently strong volumes near the support, at the beginning of the Asian session at 4th August. I say apparently, because we have to take into account that prices were nearby a previous support, and in these areas this can be just volume from retail traders buying simply because there’s a support nearby.

As the prices broke the support, with moderate volumes on the mid of the Asian session, there was a short opportunity. As prices rallied on low volumes to the broken support there were other possible entries.

There was later in the European session a strong demand signal, and just 2-hours later the market turned on yet more demand signals, this time even stronger. On the break-out setup, as in the nearby S/Rs setup, once you moved your stop-loss to break-even, you could also wait for it to hit TP instead of exiting on the first Demand signal, as in these setups, when the market trends, it trends strongly. This contrasts with other more scalping-oriented setups such as Dynamic Trend, where you should exit right in a strong signal.
