Weekly Bias for SPX - 10/1/2023Weekly Chart: Traded into last week's bearish engulfing candle and then took out its low.
Traded into a +POI (W+FVG), wicked near MT at 4236.6
Weekly Idea: Because we are bearish but entered into this +POI, with may get a bounce but would look to see if the PWL is taken out for a continuation lower. For now, I'm 505/50 on this mainly because of the W+FVG. A bullish scenario would need to be revisited
Daily Chart: Price took out the PWL and set a low on the Daily in the W+FVG, however, price bounced from the area without making a new high. This is logic to stay on the downside for now. Another thing to note, Friday's close is at the mid point of the weekly range, Weekly high 4347.4, Weekly Low 4243.2, and Weekly mid point 4295.3, finally Weekly close/ Friday closing price 4295.3.
Daily idea: Because of the close and the price failing to make a new high this give reasoning to at least look for the price to take out the PDL and -LP ( $ trend line liquidity) with best case scenario, price taking out the PWL. A bullish scenario would need to be revisited
4H Chart/Idea: We have a 4H-OB and 4H-FVG, one the LTF, do we have price return to mitigate this area? The +breaker is hold price up for now and this will be the first thing that I look at for a response of what price decides to do. The low was made in a +POI, a +OB but will it hold?
Weeklyrange
Weekly Bias for Nas100 - 10/1/2023Weekly Chart: Price took out the PWL and the August low into a W+OB and we did close positively for the week. We did create the low of a W-FVG (not drawn but, it's there) and price closed near the middle of the weekly range, Weekly High 14906.5, Weekly Low 14429.3, Weekly Mid point 14667.9, Weekly close 14741.8.
Weekly idea: Price took out lows into the W+OB but for now there is a W+FVG below that may be the target. If we take out the PDL, this will be my target into the the W+FVG(H) near 14232.7. In order to turn bullish I will need to see a high taken out and I'll want to see what price does inside the W-FVG.
Daily Chart: Price traded into a D-FVG and set the high near the D-FVG (MT) and left a huge wick with a Friday close near the Mid point of the Weekly range. We took out the bearish engulfing made on Tuesday but by Friday we traded back into it.
Daily Idea: Price leaving that large wick will cause for me to look at how price response to the close, middle and high of the candle. Do we fail inside this wick or take out the high? This is the question I'll be looking to answer. If we fail, I'll be looking to take out the PDL and THURS PDL. If we take out the high, price should close the D-FVG and trade into another D-FVG just above (not drawn) with the low near 14974.1.
4H Chart: Price left a 4H-OB inside the daily wick and the low was made inside a 4H+FVG(H) 14661.5. There is a +CHOCH above THURS PDH and the this is my hesitation to go full on bearish on the short term. There is also a 4H+Breaker that Friday could not take out as well.
4H Idea: I want to see if price will take out the 4H-OB or the PDL
SPX top down short 9/29/22So far we've rejected the weekly high and pushed down into the LTF points of interest. Going into the premarket and NY session I'll be looking for signs of rejection to return to the upside or a continuation of the overall trend.
Mostly favoring a neutral to bearish point of view on this but I don't mind reacting on movement to the upside for a buy if the level 2 data confirms it
SPX Top Down Analysis 9/27/22We are trading within a range near the most recent low on the daily after a big move to the downside. Definitely still overall bearish but we are trading into HTF points of interest to the downside, basically buy to sell setup's in the making. Missed the trade yesterday off of the range high but that's okay. Lots of news today so I won't be so quick to pull the trigger and just be more reactive today.

GBP/USD Weekly Range ExampleHello Traders!
As you can see this was last weeks trading range.
Open, High, Low, Close
Sunday Opening Price is drawn out to Friday
We knew heading into this month that DXY was bullish and GBP was bearish (sessional tendencies).
As I say as usual the high of the week when bearish will form either on Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday
(I personally favor Tuesday and Wednesday). The same can be said vice versa when bullish.
I also when bearish the low of the week will form either on Thursday or Friday. The same can be said vice versa when bullish.
Friday typically will give you a higher close from the low of the week when bearish. The same can be said vice versa when bullish.
Overall last week has given traders a Judas Swing. A fake move above S.O.P (Sunday opening price), then a sell off
for the rest of the trading week.
Does this occur every week? No. Will it always be like this? No.
This is the simplest form or most basic level of weekly market templates.
Sunday Opening Price Bullish Tutorial Hello Traders!
We know that these markets are not random and have an algorithmic structure to them.
Sunday Opening Price is important to keep in mind when day trading or swing trading.
Each new trading week the market will reset its oversold and overbought levels.
S.O.P (Sunday opening price) allows us to see those levels WITHOUT INDICATORS!
Anything above S.O.P is premium (overbought) and anything below is discount (oversold).
When bullish we are seeking buying opportunities under S.O.P.
Mon., Tue., and Wed is typically going to give you the low of the week.
Thursday is typically going to give you the high of the week then give a mid-week reversal.
Friday can also pose to give the high of the week or follow Thursdays reversal trend.
The same can be said when in bearish conditions, just vice versa.
Market Range - Anticipating Price ExpansionI have mentioned several times in my post that when a pair didn't reach its minimum range based on the 20-day average daily range, the market will compensate that "pips shortages" in the following day, in two or three days or the following week.
These small ranges are more common in a flat market, where it is in an accumulation phase. "Ranging market begets trends" was the common belief back when I first started trading. I do not think it's necessarily true BUT I do believe ranging market or market in an accumulation phase, whatever you want to call it, will beget price expansion and more often than not, when the price do expand, it will pay back all the pips shortages few days/weeks earlier.
How can you benefit/what are the actionable you can do from this repetitive yet tend to be overlooked market behaviour? Here are the three things I tend to use this information into my advantage :
1) Liquidity Pool will be there in a day where the range is so small because price is in accumulation phase
2) You can start managing your trades as small ranges particularly after a price expansion, means a retracement or reversal will happen. This gives us opportunities to look for either continuation trades or to move your stops to protect your profits
3) If you have a trading signal during the accumulation phase, you can expand your profit target more than usual as the smaller the ranges in the previous day(s) the bigger the price expansion would be. The smaller the ranges and the longer is the period of accumulation, the bigger the liquidity pool going to be hence the more delicious the price expansion going to be
Read the Right Side of the Chart : XAUUSD Sept 10thThis pair has certainly moved to the downside followed by the bank's price manipulation around 1555.225-1555.400
You can read the post about where the current wave originated (the setup that I missed. Yes writing this isn't easy for me
:
Price closed below last week's and Friday's low. Monday was pretty quiet and low volume trading day as this pair didn't reach the 20-day average daily range, which I believe it will eventually be "paid" the following days which it did during Sydney session today.
Price also trading inside the liquidity pool that I have determined but there is also price zones that I have determined below it and I would love it if price reach in that zone. I would be an interested buyer at those prices, but of course, after there is a bullish trigger.
Depending how volatile this pair going to be this week, if this pair goes off to the upside with momentum, price entering the liquidity pool at 1520-1535, I will be looking for a bearish signal and would seriously consider it as a continuation of the bearish wave
