Analysis of GBP/USD on April 22. Statistics were ignored, the wave counting continues to be in the first place

The quotes of the Pound/Dollar instrument began to move away from the highs reached, and so far it does not fit well into the internal wave structure of the expected wave 3 or c. Thus, there is reason to believe that the instrument will move in threes soon. We saw the first three downward in February-March, the next three upward was built in March-April. Thus, the last upward wave may already be completed, and if this is indeed the case, then it is wave c, therefore, the formation of a new three waves down can now begin. Although "down" and "up" are now quite vague concepts. In general, the part of the trend that starts in February is more suitable for the definition of "horizontal". At least we now have more or less logical explanations for what is happening, and the wave pattern has begun to raise fewer questions.

The first three days of this week showed only one thing: the markets absolutely do not want to react to economic statistics at this time. In the UK, a series of quite important reports were published that could and should have provoked some kind of reaction. But I saw nothing of the kind. If the inflation report could be interpreted in any way, then the unemployment reports were quite unambiguous and should have increased the demand for the pound sterling. But instead, the markets have lowered the demand for the pound and now it looks like a downward wave has begun, which may be the first in the new three downward waves. Several more important reports will be released in Britain tomorrow. For retail trade, business activity in the manufacturing and service sectors. Thus, I would like to assume that the markets will not lose sight of these statistics, but most likely there will be a picture of the first three days of this week. If reports from Britain turn out to be weak, and the instrument continues to decline, then it will be possible to "conclude" that there is a reaction from the markets. Although the current wave counting shows that the downward wave will be built with a high probability even without these statistics. In general, wave counting remains in the first place, as in the Euro/Dollar instrument, and I recommend paying attention to it first. Moreover, now it has cleared up and become more understandable.

At this time, the wave pattern has cleared up a bit, so now I recommend selling the instrument for each MACD signal downward, counting on the formation of a new three downward waves. However, the wave counting still does not look completely unambiguous and may still require some additions and adjustments.

The part of the trend, originating on September 23, has taken a five-wave, fully completed form. Thus, this part of the trend is supposedly completed, and the part of the trend after it can take either a horizontal form of alternating triplets, or three downward waves have already been completed, and now the construction of a new upward trend has begun, which will bring the instrument above the peak of wave 5 in 5. Also, the option with the construction of a downward structure a-b-c-d-e is not completely ruled out, which has already been completed, and now the first wave of a new upward trend is under construction.
