Simple Break of Structure BoS Trading Strategy Explained One of the best and reliable strategies to trade break of structure BoS is to apply multiple time frame analysis. In this article, I will teach you my break of structure gold forex trading strategy. You will get a complete step-by-step guide with examples. Let's start with a quick theory and let me explain to you what is break of structure BoS in Smart Money Concept SMC trading. In a bullish trend, break of structure BoS is an important event that signifies a continuation of an uptrend. It is based on a violation and a candle close above the level of the last higher high (HH). After a breakout, the broken level becomes the first strong support for trend-following buying. Check multiple examples of confirmed breaks of structure BoS on GBPNZD forex pair on a weekly time frame. In a downtrend, Break of Structure BoS means a bearish trend continuation . Break of Structure is considered to be confirmed when a candle closes below the level of the last lower low (LL). The broken key level becomes the closest strong support for buying. That's the example of a healthy downtrend on USDJPY forex pair on a daily. Each break of structure BoS pushed the prices lower, providing a strong signal to sell. What newbie traders do incorrectly, they trade break of structure without a confirmation strategy, and it leads to substantial losses. Though GBPCHF is trading in a bullish trend and though each BoS provided a trend-following signal. The price retraced significantly lower below the broken structure before the growth resumed. When the price retests a broken structure after BoS in a bullish trend, start lower time frame analysis. If you identified a break of structure on a daily, analyze 4h/1h time frames. If on a 4H, then 30/15 minutes. After the price sets a new higher high with BoS in uptrend, it usually starts trading in a minor bearish trend on lower time frames. With our strategy, your signal to buy will be a retest of a broken structure and a consequent bullish Change of Character CHoCH . That will provide an accurate bullish signal. In a bearish trend, analyze the lower time frames after a retest of a broken structure. Your signal to sell will be a bearish Change of Character CHoCH. Look at a price action on EURCHF on a daily. We see a strong bullish trend and a confirmed Break of Structure BoS. According to the rules of our trading strategy, we start analyzing 4h/1h time frames after a retest of a broken level of the last Higher High. Our signal to buy is an intraday bullish CHoCH. We open a long trade after that with the stop loss below the intraday lows and take profit being a current high. That's how simple this strategy is. Multiple time frame analysis provides the extra level of security. Strong lower time frame confirmation substantially increases the win ratio of a trading setup. ❤️Please, support my work with like, thank you!❤️ I am part of Trade Nation's Influencer program and receive a monthly fee for using their TradingView charts in my analysis.

BTCUSD – 5M Premium Zone Rejection | Short Setup Activated🧩 BTCUSD – 5-Minute Breakdown | May 4, 2025 The BoS has happened, but don’t let it fool you — price just entered the danger zone. This is where Smart Money loves to trap late longs and send price tumbling. 🧠 SMC Playbook: 🔨 BoS Identified: Minor bullish BoS after initial reaction from the previous low. 🟥 Supply Zone (Entry Area): 79%–100% retracement zone from the latest swing high to low. 🔄 Reversal Point: Entry just above the 79% zone (95,499–95,629). 🎯 Target: Weak Low = 95,200 🧼 Stop-Loss: Above 95,629 (structure invalidation) 📏 RR Ratio Potential: 1:3 to 1:4+ 🔎 Narrative: Price is engineered to grab liquidity before making the real move.

xau/usd continuation sell of from $2,678Gold has been showing clear structure to the downside on the 1H. However, on the 4H time frames and above we didn't actually see price further BOS to the downside buy rather it pushed back up the 8H imbalance to create EQH liquidity. This makes me wonder whether or not we will see a last push up from Gold before price then makes it way further down. However, this week we can be sure to catch some sells on gold as we see a lot of bearish indication on the lower time frames. I am expecting for price to open and consolidate before it takes the ASH and potentially fails the 30min supply zones i have before reacting from the 6H supply. It is also possible that price may want to fill the 6h Imbalance above and actually react from the 4H supply instead. If price truly wishes to respect these Asian highs and simply further react without having a significant retracement then I can potentially expect price to react from these lower time frame 30min supply order blocks.

The recent break below 153.819 confirms bearish momentum, with sellers firmly in control. Key Levels Resistance: 153.962 (Minor), 154.653 (Major) Support: 153.276 Possible Movement Bearish Continuation: Likely toward 152.466 (target) as long as the price stays below 154.653.

Will BTC Push Up Soon? The Key Level is at 65000.00 !!! I will be looking for LONG opportunities on BTC after the resistance level at 65000.00 has been broken and thereafter forms an upward confirmation Break of Structure(BOS) signal, and the two reasonable take profit levels are set as "TP1" at 70000.00 and "TP2" at 72000.00, shown on the 8H Chart. At the moment, BTC is consolidating locally. It seems that the market needs to grab more liquidity from supporting areas down below in order to push up later and the 8H green Demand Zone can be a potential area for that. If the "Caution level" at 58000.00 below the 8H Demand Zone has been broken first, then new analysis on BTC will be made.

USDJPY 1H Big Push-Down is Coming !?!? USDJPY 1H local trend might start pushing down alongside with the strong down-trend at higher timeframes, after the green 1H supply zone has been reached today. For that to happen, we need a downward confirmation signal Break of Structure(BOS) to emerge first, which is at level 144.229. Two rough scenarios have been drawn on the chart, we need to be patient for the BOS in order to seek Short opportunities later on. This push can potentially go to the Daily low targets at 141.684 or 140.249 (seen clearly on Daily chart). The "Caution Level" at roughly 145.645 indicates a potential trend reversal signal once it's broken, new USDJPY analysis will be made at the time.

GOLD 1H Situational Analysis Gold has been pushing up for a long period of time, now it has finally slowed down and started consolidating seen on 1H chart. For LONG opportunities, we need a upward confirmation signal Break of Structure(BOS) to happen at level 2517.580 first, which increases the probability of the market going towards the TP level 2531.765, after which we can start seeking for entry area at lower timeframes to BUY. There are two scenarios for the market to reach BOS, briefly marked by the blue and green prediction paths. At current moment, it is not easy to Short the Gold, since the uptrend in higher timeframes still seems very strong. But I've suggested a rough "Caution level" at 2491.000, indicating a potential trend reversal signal once it's broken, it's lying below a 1H green demand zone.

Bitcoin price looks settled following todays Breakout BTCUSD_2024-08-09_00-06-51_87596.png As per my last post on Bitcoin which showed Bitcoin's strength in breaking out to the upside today from recent zones, this breakout occurred when Bitcoin was looking very bearish with D Tops across most timeframes. Be aware of a massive cup and handle formation on the weekly chart. The chart here displays Bitcoins healthy price action as it settles in a rising wedge across 1hr, 2hr and 4hr timeframes. We won't see these low prices again for a long time is my feeling. The interest rate reduction in the USA is practically in the bag for September and we are ever so close. Also today pleasing figures in unemployment assistance in the USA. Going forwards to the September I am holding contracts in Silver but I have sold out of Gold as I see much more upside in Silver and potentially even more in Bitcoin. Buy the dips in small parcels that your margin can afford and safe and happy trading to everyone.

Bursa Malaysia Technology Index - Bullish Break of StructureOver the past six months, the Bursa Malaysia Technology Index has exhibited moderate performance, reflecting the global tech sector's fluctuating conditions. The index saw a notable uptick in the last quarter of 2023, driven by a rebound in semiconductor demand and increased investments in digital infrastructure. However, it faced headwinds in early 2024 due to concerns over global supply chain disruptions and rising interest rates impacting tech valuations. Overall, the index demonstrated resilience with a gradual recovery in recent months, although it remains below its peak levels from the previous year. Supported with the Nasdaq Composite Index, a prominent benchmark for U.S. tech stocks, has been relatively strong, reflecting the interconnected nature of the global tech market. When the Nasdaq experienced a surge in late 2023, fueled by impressive earnings from major tech firms and positive investor sentiment, the Malaysia Technology Index mirrored this trend with a delayed but noticeable rise. Conversely, when the Nasdaq dipped due to regulatory pressures and inflation fears, the Malaysia Technology Index also saw declines, albeit to a lesser extent. This correlation underscores the global tech sector's sensitivity to macroeconomic factors and investor sentiment, influencing market performance across different regions. Last week we can see that the index became one of the factors that lifted the FBM KLCI Index to make new high as the index made a valid Bullish Continuation Pattern by making Break of Structure on Thursday with a bullish closing on Friday. There are two key things that are worth to be observed: 1. Bullish Break of Structure (BoS) at 69.91 on Thursday. 2. To observe rejection at the area of weekly supply around 75.00 to 80.00 confluence with the fibonacci area. 3. Minor supports at the area 66.64, 62.20 and 60.53. A break below 56.93 is a sign of Bearish Change of Character (ChoCh) where the index changes the trend from bullish to bearish.
