On July 1, 2021, the EUR/NZD pair was demonstrating several bearish patterns which were signaling that the pair would move lower. The pair was stalling at key selling levels, which signaled to traders that sellers/bears were getting in the market.

The chart below shows a bearish pattern (blue) completing point D at the BC 0.50% Fib. retracement level. The BC 0.50% Fib. retracement level serves as the sell trigger of the bearish pattern.  Another bearish pattern also formed in this area.

An AB=CD bearish pattern (brown) also completed the point D at the AB=CD 1.0% Fib. extension level. The AB=CD 1.0% Fib. extension level is the sell trigger of this pattern. I entered the trade with the aim to sell at 1.7000, with a Stop Loss at 1.7045, and I was looking for a move lower to target the AB 2.24% Fib. retracement level or the 1:2.5 RR target level.
