Watch big round numbers and their halvesSee how price reacts at 1000 pips increments (1, 1.10, 1.20, 1.30) and their quarters (1.25, 1.05, 1.075 and so on).
The reaction at those levels is nearly guaranteed. Once price hit 1.10 recently, we saw a pullback of 350 pips to the downside.
Those psychological levels will be highly useful to any trader. They work well on majors (USD baed pairs), less so on crosses.

Round
Microstructural phenomenons: option strikesThere's no such thing as round levels , instead:
1) You open the option chain of given vehicle;
2) You notice the step between the strikes that have significantly higher volume/OI than the other ones;
3) for example on ES dem would be xx50.00 and xx00.00;
Without further analytics of the option chain, the very general rule is that these levels usually stop & repel the sharp jumps in prices, and allow the average activity to pass through em with a little stuck around em.
Again the reason is microstructural, some of are hedging current & anticipated option positions on good prices. Usually market allows to do it right after economic releases.
About the example, if you have any platform that offers a liquidity heatmap, try to find that reversal on ES & correlated assets, that moment in time that I market with a circle, you might be surprised.
Round Numbers on Mirror ChartsTradingview provides unique opportunity to watch round numbers both EURUSD and USDEUR.
Round numbers do work as support and resistance. Perhaps the only levels that one can rely on.
But it should be remembered that American continent watches and trades primarily USD vs EUR, while in Europe it is the opposite case.
Watch for round numbers confluence on mirror (inverted) charts, i.e. USDEUR and EURUSD to find true sopport and resistance.
The top of eurusd was round number confluence 0.81 - 1.23 level.
Right now, the major resistance is 85 level (usdeur). If price will get through that it will stumble at 1.17 (eurusd)
Round bottom back to POC 6400?This situation can be nice pushup to 6700 and also 6800 POC, but we are still in down trend, 6600 is still high sell level, where some whale is holding it. Will he let us through pushup or will he push price down to 6400 ? I may short from 6550 level with close sl level at 6575 . 25% for push and 75% for going back to 6400 POC . Tooked on previous charts where was nice breakout to 6580 level.
Steem important support level low risk to high probable profit We can clearly see here two very important levels to watch for( marked with two parallel black lines). Level around 0.00013555 which was created by double bottom in the November last year. Above it around 0.00015000 level pair was holding for a while between the end of the December and beginning of the January. Mid of February level was broken and the pair went south very quickly just to rise up in mid March with very high volume. Pair for the last 16 days is testing support around these two levels. I marked three soldiers formation with blueish rectangle which is suggesting trend reversal.
I think it would be reasonable to set SL just below lower level.
TP area would be around last high around level 0.00032000 or you could just wait some time till the pair will reach 200 ema which should bring some interesting price action. I would definitely close position when the pair will be close to the 200 ema.
Nushares / Bitcoin confirmed trend reversal pattern.I marked morning start pattern on the weekly chart. Pair couldn't go down below 0.00000010 for last 18 days. We have seen huge spike of price during this week. It seems to me that it is just a begging of the new trend and price in future will touch 0.00000100 mark. I wouldn't put big money on it no more than 5% percent. I think that TP area is pretty safe around .000000060 level. SL at 0.00000009
Gridcoin vs Bitcoin rebound plus interesting breakout formationWe can clearly see here that the support has been created around round number 500. It created false double bottom buy signal in December. Area between mid of February and beginning of March shows interesting formation when pair tried to break the support with negative results. There is second important level which is created by consolidated three GAP's on daily chart. I marked this area with first rectangle. Yesterday big bullish candle went thru 200 ema and all three GAP's. I would suggest to set SL just below 0.00000500(It is rare that the pair will go thru strong support just to bounce back again). TP is set around highest highs from September. I think that 0.00002000 level is reasonable as well.
GBPUSD:Will usher in a new round of decline?GBP continued to fall two conditions required:
1.U. S. economic data must be strong next Monday,
the probability is greater than 60%,
because the employment data on Friday exceeded expectations
2.Next week, the Bank of England rate decision must clearly release a loose signal
My point of view is
The pound will continue to fall next Monday and Tuesday.
Wednesday, Thursday a sharp shock, waiting for the interest rate decision
Friday because Thursday's resolution is uncertain.
The specific operation points will be given on Monday.
EURUSD: SR line at 1.12700.1.12700 is a nice round number for a resistant level. Price has break the support level recently and I'm expecting the price to retrace to 1.12700 resistant area. I'm also expecting the price to be rejected by the level (first touch). I would go for a short position after price has reached the new resistant level.
