What is Higher High, Higher Low, Lower Low, Lower High In this educational article, we will discuss the foundation of price action analysis: the concepts of highs and lows. In order to grasp that concept, you should learn to perceive the price chart as the sequence of zigzags. Depending on the direction of the market and the shape of these zigzags, its peaks will be called differently. There are 6 types of them that you should learn to recognize. 1️⃣ Equal Highs (EH). The peaks of bullish moves will be called equal highs, if they perfectly respect the same level (resistance), retracing from that and not managing to break above. 2️⃣ Equal Lows (EL). The peaks of bearish moves will be called equal lows, if they perfectly respect the same level (support), bouncing from that and not managing to break below. 3️⃣ Higher High (HH). The peak of a bullish move will be called Higher High, if the price manages to violate the previous high after a retracement. 4️⃣ Lower Low (LL). The peak of a bearish move will be called Lower Low, if the price manages to violate the previous low after a pullback. 5️⃣ Higher Low (HL). The peak of a bearish move will be called Higher Low if, after a retracement from the high, the price manages to set a low that is higher than the previous low. 6️⃣ Lower High (LH). The peak of a bullish movement will be called Lower High if, after a pullback from the low, the price sets a high that is lower than the previous high. Why these terms are so important? Because, firstly, you can apply them to objectively identify the market trend. Secondly, all the price action patterns are based on a combination of these highs and lows. You should learn these terms by heart, and you should learn to perceive the price chart as the sequence of zigzags, with a strict designation of each peak. ❤️Please, support my work with like, thank you!❤️

Learn Top 4 Price Action Pattern to Trade Reversals Hey traders, In this article, I will share with you the list of 4 best reversal price action patterns. 📍Ascending & Descending Triangles The main element of the ascending triangle as the REVERSAL pattern is the BEARISH impulse leg, preceding the formation of the pattern. The pattern consist of 2 main elements: a horizontal neckline based on the equal highs, a rising trend line based on the higher lows. ❗️The trigger is a bullish breakout of a neckline of the pattern and candle close above. 📈The position is opened on a retest. 🔴Stop loss is lying at least below the level of the last higher low. 🎯Take profit is the next historical resistance. —————— 📍The main element of the descending triangle formation as the reversal pattern is the BULLISH leg, preceding the formation of the pattern. The pattern consist of 2 main elements: a horizontal neckline based on the equal lows, a falling trend line based on the lower highs. ❗️The trigger is a bearish breakout of a neckline of the pattern and candle close below. 📉The position is opened on a retest. 🔴Stop loss is lying at least above the level of the last lower high. 🎯Take profit is the next historical support. 📍Rising & Falling Wedges What makes a rising wedge pattern a reversal pattern? Before the formation of the pattern, the price should form a strong bullish impulse and trade in a bullish trend. The pattern consists of 2 contracting, rising trend lines based on the higher highs and higher lows. ❗️The trigger is a bearish breakout of a support of the pattern and candle close below. 📉The position is opened on a retest. 🔴Stop loss is lying above the high of the pattern. 🎯Take profit is the closest horizontal support. —————— What makes a falling wedge pattern a reversal pattern?

After a strong bearish impulse, the price retraces, sets a lower high and retests the current low. Instead of going lower, the price retraces one more time, retests the level of the last lower high and breaks it. Such a formation confirms a bullish reversal. ❗️The trigger is a bullish breakout of a neckline of the pattern and a candle close above. 📈The position is opened on a retest. 🔴Stop loss is lying below the lows of the pattern. 🎯Take profit is the closest horizontal resistance. —————— Double top pattern usually forms at the end of a bullish trend. After a strong bullish impulse, the price retraces, sets a higher low and retests the current high. Instead of going higher, however, the price retraces one more time, retests the level of the last higher low and breaks it. Such a formation confirms a bearish reversal. ❗️The trigger is a bearish breakout of a neckline of the pattern and a candle close below. 📈The position is opened on a retest. 🔴Stop loss is lying above the highs of the pattern. 🎯Take profit is the closest horizontal support. 📍Head & Shoulders Pattern & Inverted One Inverted H&S pattern usually forms at the end of a bearish trend. The price forms a zig-zag movement with 3 main elements: the left shoulder with a lower low, the head with a new lower low, and the right shoulder with a higher low. While the price sets multiple lows, it keeps setting the equal highs, composing a so-called horizontal neckline. A bullish reversal becomes confirmed once the price breaks and closes above the neckline. ❗️The trigger is a bullish breakout of a neckline of the pattern and a candle close above. 📈The position is opened on a retest. 🔴Stop loss is lying below the lows of the pattern. 🎯Take profit is the closest horizontal resistance. —————— Head & Shoulders pattern usually forms at the end of a bullish trend.

In order to increase the accuracy of trading these patterns, I would recommend trading them only if they are formed on key levels: Bearish patterns on key resistances and bullish patterns on key supports. Also, higher is the time frame where you spotted the patterns, higher is the chance that it will give a valid reversal signal. ❤️Please, support my work with like, thank you!❤️

USDJPY BEAR SWING RESUMEEOur USDJPY bear swing paused about 300 pips ago and created a temporary bottom from which we took short term buys from After a nice run of 200+ PIPS we are EXIT the shorts. Now USDJPY should resume its bear swing on the route to new lows. From a technical aspect this retracement has come up to retest the overall trend at the 38 Fib level. Normally I would be expecting a further correction, up to the 50 area but under these economic conditions I expect USDJPY to resume its bear trend at a much more aggresive rate than most trends. Right now the "Carry Trade" is about to work against the dollar, as outflows continue to pull USDJPY down. Make no mistake there is a LOOONG way for this pair to fall still. We are emtering longs with stop losses above the recent "Lower high" If for some reason the bullish momentum were to resume, I would still be looking to SELL USDJPY around the 50 fib or 134 area. Theres not much to update on the fundamentals. The US economy is still heading towards recession faster than the FED RESERVE can control. Yen has a long way to go before it becomes "overvalued" in this environment currently. USDJPY sells will always be the safer option for the near term.

GBPUSD: What to Look at This Week 🇬🇧🇺🇸 GBPUSD broke and closed above a solid horizontal resistance cluster on a daily time frame last week. The pair is correcting now. The market is steadily falling within a bullish flag pattern on 4H. To catch the next bullish move, I would recommend waiting for a bullish breakout of the resistance of the flag. 4H candle close above will confirm the violation. A bullish continuation will be expected at least to 1.25 then. If the price breaks a support of the flag, the setup will become invalid. ❤️Please, support my work with like, thank you!❤️

Key Levels and US Market Review for the Asian session open 3/04Major Indexes ended the month and Quarter on a positive note and held the recent trend up although the price action is extended and hints at some profit taking to come. We are now into a new quarter so could see some longs unwind into the new week; add to that the spike in Oil (cough, cough...manipulation from OPEC); and markets will see some increased volatility. With US Key employment data at the end of the shortened week, I feel new bulls will remain on the sidelines into Easter. Asian markets are expected to open stronger but may find some weakness as they digest the macro economic costs of higher Oil prices. I remain of the view that sticky inflation is the big issue but it remains a balancing act for the Fed as they potentially come to the end of a rate rise cycle. With the OPEC Production cuts and resultant spike in Oil, bulls will have something to think about regarding inflation. A review of the price action from the European session and the US session where I look at some key levels to watch and the price action setups I expect to see play out on the major markets below.

Key Levels and US Market Review for the Asian session open 30/03European markets rallied from the open which led to a strong open to the USD and a very bullish session. All indexes were up as stock traders went bargain hunting as they brush aside banking woes. For me inflation still needs to cool a lot further before bulls can take control and US consumers are not in a good way which may eventually weigh on markets again. Bond yields are also hinting at inflation concerns as they go higher while the USD is showing signs of basing for a leg up. The US was generally supported by a handful of big Tech stocks and banking shares. Asian markets are expected to open higher with the ASX set to open up 45pts. It will be interesting to see if the HSI has another squeeze lower or fires up the rockets again for a big move up. I remain of the view that sticky inflation is the big issue but it remains a balancing act for the Fed as they potentially come to the end of a rate rise cycle. The Fed will need to see hard evidence that inflation is coming under control first.
