About 11 days ago, around September 7, GBPUSD had completed five waves down from the August 21 high. The selloff was already extended, so the message was simple: do not chase it lower. A three-wave rebound into the yellow Trader Reversal Box near 1.3570–1.3600 would offer a cleaner short area with better risk-to-reward.
The chart below shows the original map and why patience mattered.
The yellow box is not an automatic entry signal. It is the area where Elliott Wave projections, Fibonacci levels, and market structure line up, so the setup can be planned with a defined invalidation based on most probable Elliott wave outcome.
That rebound followed the map. By the September 17 update, shorts were activated and price was pressing into an extended wave three into the Bank of England event.
Trading Notes — Sometimes we also share what Grega trades, including the management decisions that follow the original idea.
This is the practical value of the process: a clear setup, defined invalidation, and disciplined updates as price develops. It is an example of the trade-management updates members see, not a promise of future results.
But what was the key about this move down that we called? Well, the answer is simple, its clear Elliott wave pattern; five waves down, three waves up. Thats it. We focus on clear patterns, ones that can be recognized in seconds. And these can offer attractive ideas.
