BTC - Market Structure 101 📚 Keeping It SimpleHello TradingView Family / Fellow Traders,
📊 I find the BTC H1 chart interesting as it has been respecting the market structure cleanly inside the rising channel recently.
📈 As the price approaches the lower bound of the channel, the bulls are taking control for an impulse after breaking above the last high in blue and the 21 EMA.
📉 Conversely , as the price nears the upper bound of the channel, the bears take charge for a correction after breaking below the last low in green and the 21 EMA.
Today, BTC rejected the upper bound and broke below the green low and 21 EMA, signaling that the bears are currently in control.
📉 The bears are expected to maintain control, and we anticipate a movement towards the lower bound of the channel.
📈 However , a shift in momentum could occur if the bulls regain control by breaking above the red channel and reaching 38,100. In such a scenario, we would anticipate a bullish continuation towards the upper bound of the rising channel.
What are your thoughts? Do you believe BTC will continue to adhere to this simple market structure?
📚 Always follow your trading plan regarding entry, risk management, and trade management.
Good luck!
All Strategies Are Good; If Managed Properly!

EURUSD 30 Nov 2023 Intraday Analysis - EU CPI / End of Month!This is my Intraday analysis on EURUSD for 30 Nov 2023 based on Smart Money Concept (SMC) which includes the following Time Frames:
4H
15m
Before the analysis, i want to share my trade taken yesterday based on the analysis shared with the idea of looking for Shorts to play the pullback for the 15m Swing and the 4H INT Structure.
As per the plan yesterday, i was waiting for Bearish INT Structure to signal that the pullback had started and i can look for Shorts after. We did that yesterday and formed a Bearish CHoCH on the 4H where i took my shorts in anticipation that the INT Bearish Structure will hold bearish to facilitate the pullback.
I know it will not be a smooth trade because we are trading against the trend, but as per the plan i can trade these options with cautious.
This is the current trade for reference on 15m Chart:
4H Chart Analysis
1.
Swing Bullish
INT Bullish
2.
Swing low and last demand for potential buys.
3.
After the Bullish iBOS we expect a pullback. We created a CHOCH yesterday which confirmed the INT High and the pullback of the INT Structure started.
Most probably we will be targeting the Demand zone in the 4H Swing Discount before looking for longs.
Be mindful that the Bullish momentum is so strong and shorts wouldn't be a smooth ride, So patience is always the key of success! plan and wait for confirmation.
15m Chart Analysis
1.
Swing Bullish
Internal Bearish
2.
INT Structure turned Bearish to signal the 15m Swing Pullback and we are in short term bearish momentum.
Most probably price will be targeting the unmitigated 4H / 15m Demand zones and the Swing EQ for this pullback. Could extend to the Swing Extreme but our expectations is to look for longs from the extreme after confirmation.
Be Mindful that the Bullish momentum is strong and shorts will not be a smooth ride.
3.
Price had mitigated the 4H Supply and created a CHoCH on the 4H which created a new Supply that was mitigated within the current Bearish INT Structure.

4H Chart Analysis
1.
Swing Bullish
INT Bullish
2.
Swing low and last demand for potential buys.
3.
After the Swing BOS, we expected a pullback but price still in Bullish momentum and still creating Bullish INT Structures. We didn't have Swing pullback till now which will be identified by a Bearish iBOS.
Price did another Bullish iBOS and reached a 4H Supply and mitigating a Daily Supply. We are expecting a pullback for the INT Structure and the first sign will be a bearish fractal CHoCH which will be the 15m Bearish iBOS.
Be mindful that the Bullish momentum is so strong and shorts wouldn't be a smooth ride, So patience is always the key of success! plan and wait for confirmation.
15m Chart Analysis
1.
Swing Bullish
Internal Bullish
2.
As expected, price created another Bullish BOS following the Bullish momentum. After a BOS we expect a Swing Pullback.
The first sign that the pullback maybe starting is a Bearish Fractal CHoCH. But as we formed INT Structures after the BOS, then we will wait for INT Structure to turn bearish first to:
1- Confirm a Swing High
2- Confirm that the pullback is starting
Be Mindful that the Bullish momentum is strong and shorts will not be a smooth ride.
3.
Price is currently mitigating a 4H and Daily Supply Zones.
Pullback could start from here, but as we identified in the previous point that we need a confirmation with a Bearish iBOS.
Longs are currently the only play from the INT Demand areas after confirmation till INT Lows fails and we get the bearish iBOS.

4H Chart Analysis
1.
Swing Bullish
INT Bullish
2.
Swing low and last demand for potential buys.
3.
After the Swing BOS, we expected a pullback but price still in Bullish momentum and still creating Bullish INT Structures. We didn't have Swing pullback till now which will be identified by a Bearish iBOS.
Price reached the extreme of the Bullish INT Structure and we may react only from there as our expectations is to reach (And maybe extend above) the Weak INT HIgh. So the current supply there may provide some bearish reaction, but our expectations on the 4H TF is to continue up.
But keep in mind that the bearish scenario we have from the Weekly and Daily could be starting from this area or a bit higher. In all ways, bearish scenario will be confirmed with bearish structure formation which we don't have till now.
So patience is always the key of success! plan and wait for confirmation.
15m Chart Analysis
1.
Swing Bullish
Internal Bullish
2.
INT Structure continuing bullish following the 15m Swing bullish structure and our expectations is to reach the Swing high and most probably we will take it out.
3.
Price still moving to the upside but i can see there is no momentum.
So my expectations that we can see a break of the INT/Swing High, mitigate the 4H/Daily Supply and then we can start a pullback.
There is no confirmation yet for the shorts, So most probably will wait for at least a bearish iBOS.

4H Chart Analysis
1.
Swing Bullish
INT Bullish
2.
Swing low and last demand for potential buys.
3.
Following the bullish INT Structure, after the iBOS we pulled back to the structure extreme and mitigated the 4H demand.
Currently price is mitigating the formed demand from the bullish CHoCH.
Current expectation is to target the INT High. But be mindful that the Swing Pullback could happen at anytime and the current INT Bullish structure can fail to start the pullback.
15m Chart Analysis
1.
Swing Bullish
Internal Bullish
2.
INT Structure turned Bullish to Signal that the 15m Swing is over and we are currently targeting the Weak Swing High.
If price going to respect the current INT Low there is a high probability that we are going to continue up. So this demand zone is the last opportunity for longs to continue up.
3.
Price didn't mitigate any 15m/4H supply up. So we may have another push to the up side specially after the Bullish iBOS.

4H
15m
Before i start my analysis, i want to share the current trade that i planned it in my analysis yesterday in regards to the buy opportunity from the 4H Demand.
Current trade is based on the idea of following the Bullish structure on 15m and 4H and as long the 15m Swing is bullish, i'll be looking for longs from 4H demand.
This is the current long trade with SL now at BE as we reached the INT Bearish Structure Extreme Supply.
4H Chart Analysis

Swing Bullish
INT Bullish

Swing low and last demand for potential buys.

Following the bullish INT Structure, after the iBOS we pulled back to the structure extreme and mitigated the 4H demand.

15m Chart Analysis
1.
Swing Bullish
Internal Bearish
2.
Price in bearish INT Structure to facilitate the 15m Bullish Swing pullback.
We reached the discount and almost the extreme and mitigated a fresh 4h demand zone.
Most probably if this Swing is going to hold bullish, we are expecting the INT structure to turn bullish and target the Swing High.
3.
Current INT Bearish structure extreme supply zone which could provide short opportunities to continue bearish. But be mindful that we reached the discount and mitigated the 4H Demand.
RNDRUSDTIs RNDRUSDT exhausting at highs?
As the price is been on high bull run but now it seems like price is lacking bullish momentum after printing double top pattern at resistance level and bearish divergence suggesting the sell pressure is about to start.
If the bears took control , the 1st target could be 2.8 followed by 2.4.
What you guys think of it?
LUNCUSDTLUNCUSDT was trading in symmetrical triangle pattern. The price was reacting well the support and resistance of triangle.
Currently the price has given the breakout of triangle and now retesting the broken level where it is also forming a local support zone and seems like the price may go for another leg higher.
If the breakout sustain to upside the optimum target could be 0.000088.

4H
15m
4H Chart Analysis
1.
Swing Bullish
INT Bullish
2.
Bullish Swing continuation happened as expected and we created a Bullish BOS.
After a BOS we are expecting a pullback and first sign will be a CHoCH.
We just formed IMO 1 demand zone within the Swing that it's also a FLIP to the supply formed. So most probably if we reached that level we will have potential longs.
3.
After reaching the Daily/4H Supply, price started to show some reaction. Yesterday the CHoCH was below the 4H Demand (FLIP) down, which is far away for price to reach to indicate that the 4H is starting a pullback.
Put price yesterday with US news created a new high and for that the CHoCh is moved to the upside. If price did the CHoCH today and hold the supply formed that then there will be a better probability that that pullback is starting.
15m Chart Analysis
1.
Swing Bullish
Internal Bullish
2.
Price did another Bullish BOS yesterday with US news. This means that in order for price to start the Swing pullback on the 4H, we want to see a break of the Swing Low in order to have a Bearish Structure on the 15m and the 4H will have the CHoCH which is an indication for the pullback.
Buys makes sense because the 15m Swing in still bullish but the HTF are looking for a pullback so there is more probability we will have this pullback soon.
3.
There are no unmitigated POIs in this Bullish Swing for longs. So the ChoCH on the 4H idea and the current 15m Swing low being near is adding for me a probability that we will take out the 15m Swing Low / 4H CHoCH to initiate the pullback.
Most probably Monday will be interesting to see the setup.
Have all a nice weekend.

Bullish Swing continuation happened as expected and we created a Bullish BOS.
After a BOS we are expecting a pullback and first sign will be a CHoCH. Currently the CHoCH is far away and i'm expecting price to create a higher CHoCH to initiate a sign that the pullback maybe starting.
We just formed IMO 1 demand zone within the Swing that it's also a FLIP to the supply formed. So most probably if we reached that level we will have potential longs.
3.
After reaching the Daily/4H Supply, price started to show some reaction. Still there is no Fractal CHoCH to indicate that may be the Pullback is starting. So we may have another push to the upside to mitigate the 4H Supply up before we start the Swing Pullback.
If price didn't create a new high, then we can look on the LTF to guide us for potential Pullback from the current Daily Zone.
15m Chart Analysis
1.
Swing Bullish
Internal Bearish
2.
After a BOS we expect a pullback, with the Bearish iBOS, we confirmed 15m Swing High and the start of the Pullback.
Currently price in a series of bearish structures to facilitate the 15m Swing Pullback.
Following that bearish structure till we reach the Swing EQ or the INT Structure turns bullish to confirm that the pullback is over and we are in the Bullish Swing Continuation.
3.
Potential Supply zone for Shorts if we are continuing the Swing Pullback.

After a BOS we expect a pullback, As we did a CHoCH on the 4H and iBOS on the 15m the pullback started and tapped into a 4H Demand Zone.
Price had swept the Liq below the 4H zone and we could be now targeting the previous high formed.
Failure to break the previous high will put us in a deeper pullback within the 4H Bullish structure.
Always will let the LTF (15m) to guide me.

4H Demand zone could hold the price to continue up after sweeping liquidity on the left.
15m Chart Analysis
1.
Swing Bullish
Internal Bearish
2.
Price is in a series of unclear INT structures moving from bearish to bullish to bearish to bullish to bearish which is a clear indication of indecision and ranging.
Recent structure is bearish so most probably we will have the selling pressure from the 4H Supply zone and most of the 15m zones are mitigated there.
I'll be on the sideline until we turn INT bullish (iBOS) then will be looking to play the longs again. Shorts are not currently in my plan as 4H Swing and Daily OF are both still bullish, so will not play against.
3.
15m Demand is mitigated and most probably the INT low will be taken as we are in a bearish INT Structure.

After the iBOS we expect pullback, price tapped into Liq on the lift and a demand zone which showed a reaction that the pullback of the internal bearish structure maybe starting but still the OF is bearish
3.
Potential flip supply zone to continue the INT bearish structure and Swing bearish leg.
Price didn't tap it yet and was close to it and started to move down.
Possibly that price had pulled back and in the continuation down which i don't prefer. Instead i prefer that price is targeting the Liq above the Flip zone for better move to the down side.
4.
Extreme supply within the bearish INT structure with Liq below it. A potential zone located in the Swing premium for continuation down

OF Bullish
2.
After BOS we expect a pullback
OF turned bullish to facilitate the Swing pullback and most probably we will continue bullish till we sweep Liq on the lift which reside below the Weekly and Daily Supply zones before we see bearish continuation.
Price swept the Liq above the Daily Flip zone and and didn't tap the Weekly/Daily supply zones yet.
The pullback after sweeping the liq is currently in progress and price could pullback to the daily demand before continuing up.
I don't like price to deeply pullback as it's for me a sign of weakness, but f we did pullback deep i'll watch how price will develop to continue bullish if possible.
3.
Weekly/Daily supply zone and the extreme of the bearish INT Structure which could provide a short opportunity if we are going to react from these zone.
Let's watch LTF to guide us for potential shorts.
