EURUSD - Multi Time Frame Trade Setup

112
Dollar looks like it may be ready to bounce after a significant bearish trend.

And so I have been looking for a suitable currency pair.

Euro is printing a long wick; it looks good on the 2D chart that I will post below ⤵️.

But up on high time frame, I thought it was interesting to notice that the impulsive uptrend since January appears to be topping slightly higher than the previous trading range spanning back to 2023.

Whenever I see whipsaw at a slightly higher high, I am always thinking it may be a liquidity sweep as part of a Wyckoff Distribution.

Here it gets interesting 😅...

Because the move up was impulsive, but yet it has is printing potential topping candles at a slightly high high.

This suggests that this impulse wave may actually be a blow of 3rd wave as part of a 3 wave correction.

This blow off 3rd wave does not appear in any textbooks that I am aware of but I have seen this pattern in various contexts.

And it can be quite a useful one to be aware of because if it is a 3 wave completion, then potentially the dominant trend may re-assert to the downside.

If correct then this could be a great long term hold; down and down below the current ATL.

With this in mind, I have taken a fib extension from the lows...

And surprise surprise; the current wicked candles are printing tidily within the 1:0.618 Golden Window; captured nicely just shy of the 0.786 overshoot ratio.

If you've done the Fibonacci homework, then you'll know that this is a weak ratio band and exactly the ratio area we would want to see topping action print within for the purpose of looking for a bearish trade setup.

So okay, we have

- Whipsawing candles, often seen at high time frame pivots.

- Slightly higher high as part of a 3 wave 1:0.618 GW correction.

- Impulsive 3rd wave suggesting it is a blow off wave which could lead to significant downside.

With all this in mind, I have then looked back in the chart to take a high time frame Fib Retracement from the last major high - which was back in 2018 down to ATL which is the foot of the 3 wave correction.

Again, surprise surprise; the whipsawing action appears to be printing a high time frame retracement Golden Window failure.

This is a likely ratio area for rejection and further adds confluence to this bearish idea.

Then in low time frame, the impulse wave completes a 1:1 upside correction; a tidy ratio for wave completion.

...

In lower time frame there are 2 upper wicked candles printing a slightly higher high.

So again we have Wyckoff distributive structure signalling that this is a top 🧐.

So we'll see how it develops.

I entered a short position here.

Finally breaking down with impulse.

This is starting to look good for the long term hold as described 👍.
