Tomorrow at 09:00 Moscow time, the UK macroeconomic statistics will be updated, in particular, data on GDP, Industrial Production, Manufacturing Production and Trade Balance.
The first three indicators are of the greatest interest, since they have showed a significant average yield of a deal in news trading.
According to the forecasts, two out of three indicators will be decreased - this is GDP and Manufacturing Production, which is likely to negatively affect the British pound sterling. This means that you can choose any currency pair with the pound for trading.
Let's pay attention to the GBPAUD currency pair.
The pair is quite volatile. In comparison with the economies of Great Britain and Australia, the Australian one wins a little, which is not in favor of the pound and predicts a possible decline in the pair:
The technique also "votes" for the GBPAUD decrease: a reversal pattern "doji star" has formed near the resistance level of 1,775, foreshadowing the beginning of the price movement down. Note that the previous "shooting star" and "hammer" reversal patterns have been confirmed and worked out themselves.
Trading strategy (M15 timeframe):
