Trading Countertrend with MultitimeframeanalysisHi guys, today I want to show you how I trade countertrend, piecing multiple timeframes together. Keep in mind though, that generally speaking the sentence 'the trend is your friend' is always true. However when it comes to specific timeframes one can make use of particular price movements. Such as in this case. As you can see the EURUSD recently had a strong bullish run after forming a tripple bottom at support. The bullish run occured with little to no pullbacks on the monthly, this is the first sign for me that this pair is overextended and in need of a pullback. As most of you will know, price 'breathes' meaning it goes up and down in a waveform. Furthermore price has begun decelerating at resistance. Last month closed as a doji, showing uncertainty in the market, and this month might be closing as a hightest. Keep in mind that this is the monthly timeframe, price action patterns and signals take way longer to form, thus have mostly way more significance, than lets say the hour chart. Going further on the weekly chart one can see how significant the resistance/support zone at which price is sitting has been in the past. 5 Rejections have occured, most of them pretty violent. Furthermore we can see that price has really moved with little to no pullbacks and is now chopping at the resistance zone. What does this mean for us as traders? Mostly choppiness is just uncertainty in a market. To make money in this profession, we have to act as smart traders. Smart traders dont just trade when they see something closing in on a potential reversal zone, they build a portfolio for each trade and act upon their trading plan. So far what do we have? - A overextended bullish run - Price is sitting at resistance - Price has formed a doji and might be forming a hightest on the monthly - Price is also sitting in the 0.5 fib monthly level (treat fib levels like a zone) - Choppiness on the weekly For me personally this isn't enough to justify a trade, so lets zoom in on the daily chart. I used the same levels and what do we see? Massive bearish MACD divergence and a h&s pattern that formed, with a slanting neckline. Now this doesnt mean that this pair will drop with 100% uncertainty, however it gives us more confluence to put into our tradingportfolio. So adding to the confluence mentioned above, we now have: - A h&s pattern on the daily - Daily bearish MACD divergence To pinpoint wether price action is going to change, i also like to look at the 4h chart: The 4hour chart confirms what we've seen on the daily. A h&s pattern with massive macd divergence. However it also tells us that the neckline of the h&s pattern still holds strong. The first indication of a potential trendchange would be a lower high at the 4h 50 EMA. However I wouldn't enter the trade until the neckline is broken and retested. This is how I like to put together my trades. Ofcourse the are short trading opportunities which are not showing on the monthly or weekly, however it is always good to build a portfolio for each trade, look at it from different timeframes and justify your actions with confluence. I will keep you updated and should price move in the right direction I will ofcourse also show my PT and stop placement. Until then have a good one!

CADJPY - Sell Limit Pending Good morning friends! As you can see from the title, during the night my sell limit order was taken on this pair. In the picture you can see an H4 graph and a Daily one, respectively pro trend and counter trend. Confusing, isn't it? Now I'm going to explain the organization of my trade. As usual, I start from a Daily chart in order to have a complete analysis. There, I can see a correction (in an up trend) which I reckon we can't call it this way anymore because it's too long, and breaks an important support (as I said yesterday in the EURGBP analysis, check it out, it's really interesting); so I go checking the H4, to use my "powerful magnifying glass" (lol) to see what's going on. There, I see an uptrend, but attention, thanks to the power of multi-timeframe given to me, I know that could be a trap, because on the Daily chart we should have found a resistance, and, if price wanted to invert (I think it's just happening, maybe with a head and shoulders pattern formation), the bullish trend wouldn't have gone much further. So, I set a Sell Limit Order right on that resistance, which was taken during the night (12 AM in Italy). Initially that seemed weak, because prices seem like they wanted to break that resistance, but now, they're slowing turning back. As stop I used the left shoulder, because if prices break it, maybe there's some more power for un uptrend. As target I used the bottom on the Daily chart, I don't want to exaggerate, if needed I will re enter the market. Let me know what you think in the comments below :-)

EURGBP - Daily Long, H4 short. Panic?Good morning Guys :-) Today we analyzed the pair EURGBP, in a very precise way, in fact the pair gave us many ideas. In fact, we started from a daily graph, which is in a very strong uptrend, since it is straight and doesn't have many zig-zags. To the questione "Long or Short?", the answer was 100% "Long", both straight away, or wanting for a correction, but long anyway. Since the daily chart have a really straight trend, I said "let's go down on H4", and here an illumination! As you can see on the graph, H4 says, even though the daily TF is bearish, that maybe the strength is kinda vanish, since a support, which worked many times, didn't this one, so that price could go down. I immediate saw the Head and Shoulders formation (I don't really care about the neckline, I care the most about the inversion that this could show us). So I thought "Well, a bullish trend, but supports are broken this easily? I don't like it". In fact, H4 is inverting. If we go down on H1, we can see that it already did it (inversion, I mean). What about now? Now this bearish trend on H1 is asking permission to the H4 to go on. And H4, we are with you! In fact, if the highlighted zone (where you can see the entry point) keeps price down*, I take advantage to go short, first of all up to the neckline, and then, up to the next obstacle on the daily chart (next one will be October highs). If this obstacle will stop the bearish move, so the daily chart will say "no" to the bearish move, and we will close the position, if not, we will go down with the Daily chart, having taken advantage of a bearish move that wasn't even started on the daily chart. Cool, isn't it? *"How can I know if H4 keeps prices down?" you're asking yourself, aren't you? Well, I can see it through minor timeframe, such as H1 or 15 minutes, waiting for a double top. Let me know what you think about it buy commenting and liking this idea. Also, prices could normally continue the daily bullish move! Mine is just an idea, a project, to which I stay faithful up to a new breakout appears, not because I just believe in my ideas, but because it's really important to stay consistent and following our plans to succeed in trading!

GOLD / D1-W1-M1 : MultiTimeFrame Analysis with Elliott+SinewaveTook me quite some time to build this up but the result shows a very clean sceanrio here ! Everything tends to correspond between each different timeframe and so the forecast is even more likely to occur. It shows that on the biggest timeframe, gold has made it's 5 wave impulse and is now retracing in 2 impulses . The first have been completed and we clearly see it confirmed by multiple timeframe sinewave signals. We're now working on the corrective wave of this rectacement ( the A to B wave ) . Which normally plots as ZigZag and tends to be the case here. Looks like we've made the first impulse of our sub ZigZag... working on the corrective wave (that appears to be a barrier triangle on daily chart). The next move should be a 3 wave bullish impulse reaching out to 100-127% extension of the previous wave . Completing this will give us our B point of major count that we will the sell for the second corrective wave of the monthly corrective count. It can seem messy... but hold on, zoom in and take the time to read ! You'll have much clearer sight of what would be about to come ;) Hope this idea will inspire some of you ! I'm pretty new to TradingView so I'ld appreciate any like/follow if you feel like it deserve it ;) You can check my indicators via my TradingView's Profile : @PRO_Indicators

Possible Long Setup on USDCADHi guys, lately CAD pairs have been very weak, on this particular pair we can see price is testing a key support area that was relevant on the daily timeframe (left-hand side). This means it could still be effective for price's movements and we can then search for long opportunities down on lower timeframes, such as 4hr. In addition to that you can see the RSI is in oversold condition, both in the daily and in 4hr charts. As we go down on the 4hr timeframe there's a huge pin signaling buying pressure at this precise level. Now, this doesn't mean we can now long but it could represent an early stage of a reversal pattern, that could be confirmed by the next candles. I'll keep you updated in case of an entry. If you have questions or if you want to share your ideas, feel free to comment below. Otherwise, see you in the next chart!

$amt negative divergences and descending trianglehigher time frame is showing negative divergence in rsi intermediate time frame is showing distribution and no conviction in buying pressure and forming a descending triangle further supporting higher time frame alignment lower time frame is showing a downtrend breaking below support and retesting on pullback will look to enter on 130.2x area for a move down to 129.3x area as first target and break lower to the 125.18 which coincides with the higher timeframe

NZDUSD Buy IdeaPrice is currently trading inside this H4 channel and it is near the bottom of it. I want to see one more push down, towards the range marked on the chart and bullish divergence being created on the M15 chart. Ideally we will also get a false break on the bottom trend line of the channel. Once that happens, look for the most recent trend line's breakout up (m15) and go long. Protection should be placed below last low, and final target would be the opposite trend line of the channel.

Head & Shoulders on NZDJPY!!Hi guys, here it's an Head&Shoulders pattern on NZDJPY. I'm very interested on this cross because i think we have a nice rally ahead. On the daily price has formed 3 consecutive candles with buying pressure and we also have a divergence on the RSI. I patiently waited for a break of structure as a confirmation and that happened today. Now there are two levels where i'm going to pay attention to: previous resistance and previous support. If price will give us a weakness sign i will be buying this. If you have any question or you want to share your thoughts about this, feel free to comment below. Otherwise, see you in the next chart!

Potential AUDUSD Long Reentry Possibility?!Hello Traders, AUDUSD is in a big triangle pattern in the daily chart, as you can see in the first chart. It was flirting with the last significant breakout highs at around 0.7536. Where also the 200-day moving average comes across. The main idea is now that the market should at least bounce from its current daily levels. Therefore, we waited last week for a confirmation in the 1-hour chart. As a matter of fact, the 1-hour chart gave as an ending diagonal. With a breakout and a retest of this broken falling trend line, as you can see in the second chart, we decided to take a long position at 0.7555 with a stop loss of 0.75688 and an initial target of the last daily highs at 0.7715. It is an approx. 5:1 risk to reward ratio, which is pretty good. The trade is currently with +70 Pips in profit. But we will wait now for another consolidation pattern, like projected in the second chart. With a break again of its potential consolidation, we will take another long position to scale into our existing position. In case of a scale in we will put our stop-loss from the first position to break even. We will keep you updated. We wish you a successful start in this upcoming week and please do use a tested strategy, this is just our opinion and we don't share OUR exact multi-timeframe strategy here. This will just give a sense of market direction. Cheers

Multi time frame StochasticThe idea for this is quite simple and no rocket science necessary to make decisions. This is to help you (hopefully) to anticipate instead of participate. The thick yellow line is the default Stochastic (14,3,3); the shades of blue are lower time frame lines while the shades of red are higher. When the 17 strands form a rope it's time for action, buy or sell. When the rope disentangles be cautious and/or exit. Another good place to act is where the strands form angles (peaks & valleys) but not necessarily a nice rope yet. Check that you are in the overbought/oversold areas when actioning this. When the rope forms a fishnet, beware, you will get caught! Hopefully you are out by then and waiting for the next peak/valley/rope to form. You can also change the time frame to differ from that of the chart's time frame if you want to study or test strategies. Use this with other indicators (Bollinger Bands, MA's) to help your decision making. Hope this helps.
