🧠 What Just Happened? The chart opens with a classic market behavior: Price runs above recent highs — triggering a wave of emotional entries and stop hunts. Right after, it drops sharply, hinting that something deeper is at play. This sequence reflects how markets often: Bait retail traders with a breakout Break structure suddenly Then pull back —...

Sometimes the market whispers its intentions before making a move — and this was one of those moments. This GBPAUD setup was built on the core principles of Candle Range Theory (CRT): Sweep of the Previous Day’s Low (PDL) Break of Structure (BOS) confirming a shift in momentum Entry retracement into the Fair Value Gap (FVG) What stood out here was the...

Today, I took no trades and I’ll be honest, it was really tempting to break that discipline. I stared at the chart longer than I needed to. My cursor hovered around the Buy and Sell buttons. My brain tried to convince me that “maybe” this candle meant something. Even though there was no valid sweep, no BOS, and no clean entry into an FVG , the desire to just...

After a clean sweep of the Previous Day’s Low (PDL) on XAUUSD, price reacted sharply, grabbing liquidity and signaling a possible shift in order flow. This forms the first pillar of my CRT model (Candle Range Theory) : Sweep, Break, Retest . Following the sweep, we observed a strong Break of Structure (BOS) , indicating bullish intent. We will then wait for...

There was a time I thought I needed to react to every move. A clean candle? I’d enter. A minor imbalance? I’d take the risk. A zone that “looked okay”? I’d justify it. Why? Because I was chasing something. Chasing certainty . Chasing profit . Chasing control . But here’s the thing I didn’t understand back then: Not every candle needs a reaction. And not...

Price action on USDJPY reflects a clean execution of Candle Range Theory (CRT). Following a sweep of the Previous Week’s Low (PWL), price reacted from a higher timeframe demand zone, grabbing sell-side liquidity before printing a bullish Break of Structure (BOS). This BOS confirmed a shift in market intent and set the stage for a retracement into a clearly defined...

A clean structural development on CHFJPY (1H TF) After sweeping the Previous Day’s Low (PDL), price created a bullish Break of Structure (BOS) to the upside , shifting short-term sentiment. This BOS was followed by a precise retest into a Fair Value Gap (FVG), suggesting possible continuation as liquidity shifts from weak hands to strong. 🧠 Educational Notes...

On Weekly Bearish, market has been bearish. And this sets the bias we will be looking for which is the sell side. On the daily chart, Price has just broken a level that has been tested multiple times in the past. The 4hours is a little bit more interesting because we might see being rejected by: Support now turned resistance, Trend line that has held for a very...

This is very tricky. still it is interesting to note that on the weekly we are bullish , on the daily also we are bullish . So all we can just do is wait for a buying opportunity to go long. After the M pattern we wait for the retest on the neckline and then that complete the standard impulse correction impulse pattern . This is not a financial advise and make...

This is not a financial advice. Make sure to always trade with caution.

Everything indicate that a move to the upside is very plausible. Weekly bullish (retesting a demand area)m daily bullish (creation of a demand) and finally on the 4H which is clearly showing a break of the trend-line to the upside. This is not a financial advise make sure to make good use of risk management in whatever trade it is you are taking.

Just make sure to follow the trend. With a weekly that is bullish, and a visible daily trend-line, the best thing to do is wait for price to come to that trend-line. A good trade if we see rejection occurring on a lower time-frame.

Weekly bearish, and a formation of SHS on daily TF. Simple!!! If and only if price is going to break and come for a retest to the neckline of the pattern then a good short opportunity presents itself This is not a financial advice, make sure to make good use of risk management!!!

There is nothing more interesting that seeing an impulse and waiting for a retest in a trending market. Formation of weekly demand area (Bullish market), price breaking a resistance to the upside (impulse correction impulse, in a trending market sign of bullishness). All we can do is to wait, and see if there will be any signs of rejection on lower time frames on...

This is not a financial advice, and also make sure to make calculated risk before taking a trade.

Risk management!!!!! I see other possibilities in this trade, but just decided to publish this one because it has a more quality than the others and the probability than others.

Weekly, Daily bearish, daily trendline. On the 4hoursm there is an impulse move. And it is normal that after an impulse there is a retracement. there is a confluence of the 78.6 fibs and trendline. If price can retrace to that area that will be a trade to take.

With a Monthly and Weekly bearish trend, the ideal is to go bearish on the lower time frame. And on the 4H there is a supply area the coincides with the 78.6 Fib. With the 3 time frame in sync, if price can come to that area then for me it is a good short position This is not a financial advice, and make sure to calculate your risk before taking any trade
