📊 Market Structure: BOS VS CHOCH📊What is market structure?
Market structure is the levels that are created by the price of any currency as it moves up and down.
Price never moves in a single direction for too long. It always takes a few steps in one direction, then moves a few steps back, then a few more steps, then a few steps back.
Over time, these steps form distinct structures in the market: zones of consolidation, zones of support, zones of resistance, and zones where price impulses up and down.
Market structures that form in the past are often respected in the future, and analyzing previous market structure can form a basis for a trading plan.
BoS carries on in the same direction it was initially heading in where as a CHoCH can be viewed as the Markets turning point
🔷BOS - Break of structure forms in the direction of the trend creating continuation patterns.
Break of recent Lower Low when bearish or break of recent Higher High when bullish.
🔶CHOCH - Change of character form at the end of a trend. For example, if we see an uptrend in the market, characterized by higher highs and higher lows,
this means that the overall trend remains bullish. However, when a new high is formed and then impulsively broken to the downside,
this could signal that the bullish trend might be coming to an end, and that a possible choch transition may be happening.

Choch
CHoCH - Orderblock EntryAUDCAD after breaking quite strong resistance in a contraction phase seem to form reasonable CHoCH, which then has also formed a rejected orderblock demand zone. Now we have to see supporting the bullish orderflow will it take on to the mitigation and will buyers fill enough to push the price.
Price could also give a SNR scenario if price keeps onto the first orderblock
USDCAD BUY?USDCAD has been in the D demand zone for 2 days now and although there's a lot going on in there its still a valid level. Furthermore seeing this failed attempt at a lower low and also full body candle break of the zone, it leads me to see that price could perhaps still very well buy from this level. So my entry is an H1 BOS in the gan discount and also my entry is right on/near the fib 61% which in this case matches up with the H1 demand zone OB. My SL will be 50 pips below structure and my Tp will be the daily highs of USDCAD around 1.40000
same strategy and entry technique as the USDJPY trade. lets see how they play out
US 30 - Ready to drop?On US30, we have an interesting price action forming. We have a breakout of the rising wedge which also caused a change of character on the uptrend. Currently price is in a corrective phase(bearish flag) which can potentially break to the downside
Fantom $FTM Long-term LongLet's see the price in up coming weeks, this could be the change of character. Something is cooking. TBH i kinda skeptic that we would see bull before we meet Q2 2024(BTC Halving). But you know, you still want keep an eye.

Could be nice sell setup for EURCHFAs we see market were bullish and there was many BOS to the upside
But market just shifted to the downside with good momentum
Price came to test the last supply zone and reacted from this area
Will wait for the bearish movement to be confirmed and go short
Feel free to comment with ur thoughts! Peace
SPX 10/31/22 Choppy Sells Today was a good day but a choppy one. Took 3 sell entries and all of the were stopped out. Took 2 additional sells this morning at the open and those went straight to SL, traded a bit too tight initially this morning but the SLs weren't large at all took about a 3% L on those.
The remaining trades were taken off of the -CHOCH (Change Of Character) and -BOS (Break Of Structure) on a couple LTF order blocks on the 1m, 5m, and 15m charts.
Closed the trades for partials manually and left the stops at break even to eventually end the day 9.61% up.
