Price Action Trading In Forex

Price Action Trading stands out as a preferred strategy among traders. This approach, revered for its simplicity and effectiveness, involves the analysis of basic price movement in a market, without the reliance on complex indicators.

Price Action Trading is celebrated for its direct engagement with currency price charts, allowing traders to interpret current market conditions and make informed predictions. This technique is not only intuitive but also versatile, catering to both short-term and long-term trading styles.

A recent example that beautifully illustrates the prowess of Price Action Trading is the performance of the GBPJPY currency pair. This pair, known for its volatility and liquidity, presented a classic case of Price Action Trading in action.

GBPJPY found support at a key weekly chart level of support at 179.00. The bullish weekly close suggested that this week, we could see similar performance. 

Adding to the narrative, the strength and weakness of the two currencies differed. The JPY has been getting weaker recently despite the potential for the Bank of Japan to hike interest rates this year. GBP on the other hand was getting stronger, if this were to continue GBPJPY could trade higher.

On the day trading time frames such as the Hourly (H1) chart we saw price form demand at 183.00.  Stepping down to the 30-minute timeframe of GBPJPY, we formed what traders eagerly seek in Price Action Trading – a higher high, higher close entry. This pattern is a bullish signal, suggesting an impending upward trend.
