This is a classic move when you know wyckoff schematics ( supply and demand) . I am checking gbpusd since november, it was only this december that the movement gets slow motion. This was an evidence for me to go bearish once I had a validity in lower timeframe.
FAST FORWARD: Dec 12-16 MOVE was a confirmation for me to look for short trades, If you will notice here in my chart : order block was created (supply). I marked it as my POI , Look for validity and EQH---> sell limit activated with a beautiful 1:5RR.
