I've never traded a shark pattern before, so i also don't know where to place stops with this one. (I would say a 1ATR stoploss). But I did spotted a bearish shark pattern once on the 4H chart of AUDJPY. What I found interesting was that after the completion of the shark pattern, a bullish bat pattern was forming.
Anyway, would you dare to countertrend trade this bullish momentum?
I shorted the market after the FOMC with 2 small positions. My first target is a 50% retracement. However, if price has trouble breaking the 0.236 retracement indicating the prior uptrend is too strong, I will reduce risk by setting my SL to BE. Second target is the 0.886 retracement. But that depends on how price reacts at the 50% retracement level (BIG IF it gets there).

Shorting possibility on the 15M. (another entry technique to go short). This whole shorting thing does feel weird, the USD is so strong at the moment.
