Following price printing bullish BOS price pulled back to discount of 50% EQ before targeting weak internal high.
As previously mentioned, bullish momentum and pro swing/internal structure was unable to break and close above weak internal high, which could be an early indication that bearish pullback phase is incomplete and price will seek further liquidity before targeting weak internal high.

Price has reacted at an M15 supply level, however, the move did not sustain sufficient bearish momentum and it seems weak internal high is being targeted.

Price has printed a bearish CHoCH indicating bearish pullback phase initiation, however, price has been unable to sustain it's bearish pullback phase and seems to be targeting the weak internal high.
Intraday expectation: Price has been unable to sustain it's bearish pullback phase. I would therefore stand aside an wait for price to confirm.

This is precisely what happened. Price has printed a higher high and CHoCH positioning has been brought closer to current price action. CHoCH positioning is denoted with a blue horizontal dotted line.

Intraday expectation: Technically, internal structure is bullish and price is obviously targeting weak internal high, therefore, price should print a bullish iBOS.
However, we need to remain mindful that H4 could initiate pullback at any moment, therefore, limiting M15 bullish momentum.

Intraday expectation: Both swing and internal structures are bullish. We currently do not have any indication or confirmation of bearish pullback phase initiation. I would therefore stand aside and allow price to print a bearish CHoCH. Current CHoCH positioning is denoted with a blue dotted line.

Price printed a bearish iBOS, therefore, the previous intraday expectation was correct.
Following bearish iBOS price printed a bullish CHoCH which indicates bearish pullback phase initiation.
Intraday expectation: Price reacted at premium of 50% EQ but could not target weak internal low. Price could potentially seek more liquidity by trading up to M15 supply zone before targeting weak internal low.

Price printed a bullish internal iBOS followed by a bullish swing BOS.
Most likely scenario would be for price to pull back following bullish internal and swing BOS (Break Of Structure)
First structural indication, but not confirmation of pullback initiation would be for price to print a bearish CHoCH which is denoted by a blue vertical dotted line.
Price has been unable to print a bearish CHoCH and has reacted from premium 50% EQ of the internal low and fractal high.
Forthcoming week's expectation is for price to continue bullish, create a new high which would bring CHoCH closer to current price action allowing for price to indicate pullback initiation closer to current price action.
Weekly Chart:
Daily Analysis:
-> Swing: Bullish.
-> Internal: Bullish.
As mentioned in last week's analysis dated 07 July 2024 that since bullish swing and internal break of structure price has not, as yet, pulled back in to discount of 50% EQ. Both of which swing and internal 50% EQ are located very close-by.
Please note, swing range has yet to be established.
I also mentioned that this could possibly be an indication that price needed more liquidity to fuel it's drive to the downside which failed after reacting from a daily demand zone.
This is precisely what occurred and price is now reacting at a daily demand zone and extreme of the 50% EQ of the internal structure , however, the current internal high is weak so price should, technically, target the weak internal high and print a bullish iBOS.
Daily Chart:
H4 Analysis:
-> Swing: Bullish.
-> Internal: Bullish.
As previously mentioned, following bullish iBOS, price did not pull back significantly enough to indicate bearish pullback initiation which could indicate that price is seeking further liquidity to initiate bearish pullback.
I also previously mentioned that price could also create a new high, higher than the current fractal high to bring CHoCH positioning closer to current price action and tap into daily supply zone.
This is precisely what occurred. Current position of CHOCH remains quite a distance away, therefore, in my opinion, the above remains valid.
I would expect price to print a higher high, which would bring CHoCH positioning closer to current price action.
Intraday expectation: price to print a higher high, which would bring CHoCH positioning closer to current price action to then initiate bearish pullback phase.

I also previously mentioned that price could also create a new high, higher than the current fractal high to bring CHoCH positioning closer to current price action and tap into daily supply zone.
This is precisely what happened which was also assisted by yesterday's US CPI reading.
Intraday expectation: Following bullish iBOS price is expected to pull back to print a bearish iBOS which would indicate, but not confirm bearish pullback initiation Price should react at discount of 50% EQ of the internal structure (50% EQ denoted in blue) or H4 demand zone before targeting weak internal high.

Price has printed a bullish iBOS which was assisted by yesterdays US CPI reading.
Following pullback, bearish pullback initiation began after reaction from daily supply zone where price printed a bearish CHoCH to indicate, but not confirm bearish pullback initiation.
Intraday expectation: Technically price should target weak internal high as price is currently the discount zone of 50% EQ with internal structure being bullish, however, we should be mindful that H4 remains in bearish pullback phase, therefore, I would not be surprised if price printed a bearish iBOS.
