Re-entry to 30min downtrend??

Pullback in 5/30min downtrend from 6240 extends to 6296, (5min fib channels ascending into price at the bottom,...good confirming indicator...

5min hidden-divergence based re-entry set-up develops (timed as a 1min Reversal set-up) but @ a HH after 3 x HL on this t/f, although @ still a LH on 30min into whose downtrend the set-up indicates a potential re-entry after the pullback..all in all though not optimum pa conditions for a re-entry for the reasons mentioned..

Have therefore rejected the set-up @ the potential sbr = prev 1hr swing lo=prev supp=potential sbr..

Right decison,? well, whether price goes down from here or not, on the t/f's I am trading and for the reasons mentioned, yes it was...you can only trade what you see on the t/f's of interest to you....

This is the 1min trigger to the above Rejected 5min Re-entry set-up, an oscillator extreme based Reversal set-up with a whole reversal candle (dark cloud cover) closing outside the 20bol (white)...a case of extreme deviation...shame as decent trigger set-up to the 5min Re-entry to 30min downtrend, and has seen +20 at time of writing.

Had the above set-up devloped at a HH instead of the 2nd HH, I would still have been interested in trading it for small pip gain and see-ing if any downward momentum on 5min candles worth holding. but @ a 2nd HH after 3 x HL, - no...subsequently price has found support at the 50% of the move up off 6240...as seen in 5min pic below...

 

[Technically Fundamental]

Looks like this channel I predicted might be taking... if it does, next high prob touch/ major support is at the 161(ish) area which would be retest of prev swing, 100%, mid-channel, and s turned r. That top has had far too many hits with proceeded by a succession of lower lows on the turnabouts. IB at 9 oclock hourly shows indecisiveness after Fridays huge move so I'll be looking to get short here if the action shows it.

Price pulls back off the 3rd HH in 5min uptrend to create a 1min hidden-divergence based Re-entry (to next higher t/f-5min uptrend after a pullback) set-up for a quick +10pips booked before the regular divergence based reversal set-up @ the 50% fib of the 6398-6240 , mni earlier touting offers around 6320/25,...no 5min supporting set-up but a 15min hidden divergence based Re-entry set-up (Re-entry 4) to 1hr (? questionable) downtrend,...have just closed this trade from the set-up for a small pip gain for the reasons stated...Am wondering if today's current 6240 Low is the base from which the bulls make a push for a new HH above 6398 in 4hr uptrend?...howevere - will continue though to trade what I see, not what I think !

HL and a H although that H not above last LH now in 15 and 30min downtrend.

 

[bbmac]

Just looked agian @ 1hr and there was a better downtrend than I had seen at first glance re that 1min Reversalset-up with 15min Re-entry (to 1hr downtrend after a pullback) set-up discussed in post #189 above...shame as would have held for more pip gain...15min hidden-divergence based Re-entry set-up is shown below

and the 1hr downtrend is here

Set-up came at a H on 15min although still at a LH on 1hr into whose trend the set-up indicated a re-entry opportunity...entry fine-tuned on the 1min

G/L for rest of session

New HH in the 4hr uptrend yesterday and an even HH today @ 6447...Nice regular divergence/extreme oscillator based reversal set-ups @ 0710am London extending to the 4hr t/f...@ this HH -the potential resistance of the previous daily swing hi=prev res=potential res and the descending potential res t/line on that t/f...price had entered a 4hr prev sw hi=prev res=potential res zone too....a sell-off below the asian/overnight session Lo has resulted off the London open.

G/L

 

[bbmac]

It's in the Charts !!

Funny how the technicals always know , this was the 5min t/f ahead of the 0930am London Uk data release after some heavy selling off the London open,...a bullish divergence based reversal set-up...and price duly bounced up on the release of the data..There was a regular sequential bullish divergence set-up on the lower 1min t/f also.

what oscilators you using? none of mine picked that up (was long anyway tho 😀)

In descending order.... osma/macd/cci wrapped around a 20bol. Mni had touted bids @ 6360/50 beforehand and the 100day sma was also there.

[For the avoidance of doubt the macd shown is actually a histogram of the signal line not the 'standard' macd histogram of the difference between the signal line it's ma line, which is effectively the osma.]

Further cable upside progress struggling (at time of writing) at the base of that 1hr/4hr prev swing Hi=prev res=potential res zone, co-existant with 76.4% fib 6446-6352 (cuurent intraday Hi-lo) aftre the early see-off from 6446 and recovery @ 6352..1hr chart below shows the potential supp/res/sbr/rbs factors as I see them and the yellow horizontal line is the 100sma on this t/f, speaking of which, the current lows @ 6352 were right on the 100day sma. Fibs shown are 5707,5919 and 6240 to 6446.

U.s data due later,

Weds 21st Oct-early london session

The 5min chart below shows how quickly a trend can change from the uptrend to a downtrend...and see how price found resistance @ the previous swing lo's marked by the green lines, [previous swing lo=previous support=potential sbr.]

@ the 2nd LH a hidden-divergence based Re-entry (to next t/f trend after a pullback) set-up developed on the lower 1min t/f see-ing +30+ pips available;

 

[bbmac]

Non-optimum Re-entry

I did trade the following set-up as price approached the prev 1hr swing hi=prev res=potential rbs zone:

A 5min hidden-divergence based Re-entry (to next higher t/f trend after a pullback) set-up developed, but as shown on post above @ a LL although still at a Hl on 30min into whose uptrend the buy the dip entry was indicated:

Entry was timed on 1min as a regular bullish divergence based set-up:

I have booked profit as the LL on the 5min (ie on the t/f the re-entry set-up developed on, was not optimum coming at a LL not an immediate HL like the 30min.) Will it see a 'with trend' follow thru above current 6436 intraday Hi,? ...no idea, but you can only trade what uyou see within own rules/guidelines. Had 5min price action been compelling I would have held for more upside pips.

2nd bite of the ' long ' cherry

So that long described in post above pulled back from the first HH (that printed below last LH of prev downtrend) to a HL at the potential rbs of the previous 5min swing hi (non-fractal prev swing hi...so slightly imperfect) but the market entry with the 1min hidden-divergence based Re-entry set-upo, also shown below saw 5/30/1hr/4hr macd signal lines all pointing north...

The 1min Re-entry (to next higher t/f trend after a pullback) set-up is here:

Price breaks above Yesterday's Hi as well as 76.4% 6740-5707, now approaching 61.8% of main 7044-5707 fall now.

Excellent analysis there bbmac,
As it has pierced the 61 fib I generally find it will continue up, I watch the 15 min at these points for price action

We are also near a pivot
If the 15 min goes negative would be a good point to exit

Thx Gamma yeh that 61.8% of 7044-5707 is at 6533 so just breeched...mni saying offers to 6550.. and mention 6570/80 as well then 6589 as being a 1.618 fib extension tech target...so will see what happens

 

[gamma]

A Doji on the 15 min good point to exit .
wait for the pull back which generally takes place about this time

Are you shorting the pull back?
