How to Find Legitimate Head and Shoulder PatternsHey Guys!
I just wanted to post a quick tutorial on how to find legitimate Head and Shoulder patterns.
In this lesson, I explain the 5 rules that a Head and Shoulders pattern must abide for it to be legitimate.
Here's the rules:
#1 Both necklines must be parallel.
#2 The main neckline cannot be broken out of surpassed before the right shoulder's price level is reached.
#3 The Head and Shoulders must be relatively flat.
#4 The top neckline can only be adjusted to a wick between the main pivot and the last correlating major pivot.
#5 The prior trend must be in the opposing direction. (which is up in the case of a "short" Head and Shoulders Pattern )
That's it! I hope this helps!
Have a great day!

NZDUSD: Time to Grow? 🇳🇿🇺🇸
Hey traders,
NZDUSD is taking off from strong structure support.
The price formed an inverted h&s pattern on a 4h time frame
and just broke and closed above its horizontal neckline.
I expect a bullish continuation to
0.6918
0.697

EURJPY: Reversal Pattern to Watch🇪🇺🇯🇵
Hey traders,
EURJPY dropped to key weekly structure support.
On that, the price formed an inverted head and shoulders pattern on hourly time frame.
To buy the market with a confirmation you need a bull breakout of its neckline.
125.55 - 125.95 is the zone that must be broken.
Then buy aggressively or on a retest with the goal 126.9

Mandatory Price PatternsHey Guys!
When it comes to price patterns, there are many. I mean, look up "price patterns for trading" on google and you'll find countless variations. Just like in the movie "A Beautiful Mind", where Russel Crowe's character locates patterns in Russian Codes; a price action trader, can find endless variations of patterns on their charts.
However, these variations actually deter the trader from their sole purpose of trading. Which is to make money. Period.
With so many patterns multiplied by the different time frames that a trader utilizes in their trading, it is bound that there will always be multiple price patterns on the chart at any given time. What does that do? It confuses the heck out of the trader.
That said, price patterns are a foundational element of price action trading, and is necessary to trade at higher levels. But it is not the amount of patterns that a price action trader must master. If the price action trader can master the Double Top/Bottom, and the Head and Shoulders patterns at the initial level. Out of my experience, these 2 patterns alone are more than enough to extract consistent profits from the markets.
Simply put, it's about quality over quantity.
That's it! Hope this provided some insight into price patterns!
Have a great day!

GBPJPY ShortThe Pound has been showing some serious weakness for weeks now coupled with the ongoing crisis, investors tend to put their money in safer places like the Yen. So, I will still be expecting bearish prices on GJ but I will wait for a pullback for safer entries. That being said, the market can go wherever it pleases but let's watch and see what happens.
AUDUSD: Potential Pullback Trade Explained 🇦🇺🇺🇸
AUDUSD is approaching a strong structure resistance.
On that the price formed a double top formation.
To catch a pullback you should wait for a bearish breakout of its neckline.
You need an hourly candle close below 0.723 - 0.725 area.
Then shorting on a retest your goals will be 0.7185 / 0.7145
If the price sets a new high, the setup will be invalid.

Gold May not stop before $1975.Gold is on fire and aiming to test its near-term swing high zone of $1970/1975.
Gold's near-term support 1930/1932. As long as above $1930, it is possible to test the $1970/1975 price zone. Fundamental, technical, and market sentiment still suggests more upside bias.
But we may see some correction at the $1970/1975 price zone.
On the other hand, if xau/usd breaks below the $1930, it may test its another trendline support level of $1900/1910 price zone.
I remain bullish on gold-based of all three types of analysis. But of course, remember profit-taking factors and overbought conditions of gold.
US30 Analysis (Daily Timeframe)Last week US30 tanked with the news regarding the Russia vs Ukraine situation. At the end of the week the market rejected 32250 and had a strong bullish retracement.
Even though this was a strong rejection I am not in favors of the bulls just yet, because price is currently closing below the 200EMA which is a key indicator in identifying the trend.
If price rejects the 200EMA and forms resistance after printing a bearish candle, I will be looking for sell opportunities to possibly retest the low that was created last week.
But, if price pullback to form support and creates a higher low from the rejection wick, then this will confirm more bullish momentum. Waiting to see how price reacts throughout the week with a true trend direction identified by the end of the week. Keep in mind that there are a few important news reports regarding the economy this week which will bring volatility to the markets.
1.Price is in a bullish trend.
2. Market structure was broken here, but price has closed back into this range.
3. Price has closed below the 200 EMA (which is great indicator for identifying the trend) if price rejects, this is a great indicator for a bearish continuation.
4. Price did have a strong wick rejection from 32250, but I think price may retest this low since price is now closing below the 200EMA. If we form resistance and reject the 200EMA, price can definitely continue bearish to retest the lows
Characteristics of Price Action TradingHey Guys!
I know price action trading can be somewhat a mysterious and confusing style of trading. So I just wanted to jot down the basic characteristics of price action trading to help clarify this ambiguous trading style.
#1 Price action trading only uses price action to make trading decisions. No indicators, fundamental analysis, intermarket analysis, etc... Just price alone will do.
#2 The Price action trader "Reads" naked price ( using candles, trendlines, price patterns, distinct ways that price itself fluctuates) to predict how much future long/short strength there is in a asset and makes trading decisions.
#3 To the price action trader, misanalysis is never the fault of price, fundamentals, or any other analysis method. The fault is always on the price action trader's misinterpretation of price.
#4 Price action trading techniques can be directly applied to any time frame, thus can be used for any style of trading. Long term/Swing/Day Trading. Moreover can be applied to any asset class.(though some techniques must be tweaked somewhat.)
#5 The price action trader does not require a logical understanding of "why" price moves in a given direction. They have the mentality that if it works, there is no reason or need to explain it.
#6 To the price action trader, current price is more valuable than past price in terms of analysis. So what happens closer to current price has more weight in the analysis process. Thus must watch current price and cannot just buy /sell and let a higher power take the wheel.
That's it! Hope this clarifies price action trading a little!
Have a great day guys!

ICT Market Maker Sell ModelFirst you must have a clean consolidation which you are anticipating that it will be taken once market come up.
Secondly you must have an old low Significant OB which market is chasing it(magnetic) and you know that after market taken out that old low then it will reverse quickly to come up to attack your consolidation.
And finally you will investigate if you have any bearish SMT divergence that will give you a confidence that market will chase that old low
How to trade Bullish Momentum Here's a tutorial on how to trade bullish channel using price action.
So when we see price ranging in a channel, we suppose to trade as per breakout or wait for retest entry. Here in BITCOIN when price broke down channel support we'll wait for retest and when we don't see retest and simply price reverse here we'll plan for bullish entry and call it as bullish channel. As soon as price breaks out the channel resistance with a strong candle we'll entry in trade by keeping the stop loss as recent swing low and channel high as our take profit.
Gold Analysis 1H TFGold has found support in this range where the previous breakout happened. This could be a strong demand zone, but won't be confirmed until we break and close above resistance at 1917
1.Price trended bearish today to retrace yesterday nights' bullish run
2. Price has retested this major level of support and failed to close below
3. Price has rejected the 200EMA which indicates a possibility for a continuation for bulls
4. There could be a minor pullback as price approaches this resistance.
5. If there is a break and close above 1915.50 it can continue going bullish due to the fundamental analysis
USDCAD: Classic Range Trading 🇺🇸🇨🇦
Hey traders,
As we earlier discussed, USDCAD is stuck within a horizontal trading range.
Yesterday the price reached its upper boundary.
A bearish engulfing candle that was formed then is a perfect indicator of the strength of sellers.
For that reason, the pair will most likely drop to 1.269 / 1.2665 levels.

Price Action Trading Is A Style Of Trading That Utilizes Price Movements Across A Specific Time Period
Price Action Traders Base Their Trading Decisions Off Of Price / Market Movements Rather Than On Market Indicators
