The GBP/JPY is showing significant near-term support and a potential buying opportunity if prices dip to 147.80 based on an emerging bullish Gartley pattern (see 2hr chart below). The key will be for prices to drop to our projected entry at 1.4780 without first moving above point C (151.13) which would negate pattern structure thus invalidating this particular setup. If the high at point C holds, warning signs prior to entry include any gaps and/or wide-ranging candles (2-3x's average) as these may increase the odds of pattern completion coming in a bit lower near 147.0.

The initial profit target of 148.96 (T1) represents 38.2% of the projected CD leg at which point stops will be moved to break even (more conservative traders may wish take profits at this level based on price action after entry). The final target at 149.80 (T2) sits just below 61.8% of CD. If this trade is triggered, stop-loss will be placed below the 161.8% ABCD extension (where CD equals 161.8% of AB) at 146.90.

Potential strategy: Buy if prices drop to 147.80 with stop-loss at 146.90 targeting 148.96 (T1), 149.80 (T2).

What is social bookmarking?

Social bookmarking refers to a method you can use to store, organize and manage bookmarks of web pages that interest you. These could be news articles, movie reviews, places you want to visit — any type of web page. The main advantage is that unlike traditional Internet bookmarks that are specific to one computer, you can use social bookmarking to add and access bookmarks from any computer with an Internet connection.

Another benefit of social bookmarking is the ability to share web pages with friends, family or anyone who has similar interests. Likewise, you can visit the pages that other social bookmarkers share with you.

All pages within our website include links to social bookmarking websites. These websites are free to use and require only a simple registration. This allows you to capture useful information you find on our website and share it with other traders like yourself. Your GFT bookmarks can become a reference if you have a question, want to revisit a concept that you found valuable or would like to tell someone about GFT.
