This is my premarket prep for today’s European session for the Forex pair GBPNZD. This prep builds off of my weekly trade plan I made here:
The purpose of a premarket prep is to find setups within my weekly trade plan bias
Weekly Focus Points
- Only take trades according to a hypo unless there are multiple conditions met
Compared against Weekly Trading Plan
- W1 Bull Engulf closing above W1 QLo negating any lower time frame QHi
Non-conjecture observations of the market
- Price action
- Arrival at D1 QHi with some reaction, trading within D1-C‑S 1.91538 (D1 RBR bull engulf with longer selling wick turned this level into demand D1-C‑D 1.91538)
- H4 Bear Engulf, price above H4 VWAP
- Premarket: No follow-through on the H4 bear engulf instead a close within newly formed supply
- Trend: H4 up, D1 up, W1 down
- Market Profile
- 3 day bracket although swings are wider with price currently trading within value
- ADR: 1101
- ASR: 868
- 22
- Day
- Yesterday’s High 1.92426
- Yesterday’s Low 1.90960
Sentiment

- Sentiment
- LN open
- Above Value, Within Range
- Open distance to value
- 0.1xASR
- Narrative
- Moderate Imbalance. Very close proximity to value edge so we might see a value acceptance. However, due to larger time frame sentiment we could see a move higher.
- LN open
- Clarity (1–5, 5 being best)
- 4
- Hypo 1 — Trend Continuation
- Narrative: Close above W1 QLo, multiple tests of D1 supply and thus D1 QHi
- Preferred: 2nd chance entry (testing value) on Bull Engulf formed premarket with a close above value, IB extension up with sustained auction taking ouit overhead supply.
- Hypo 2 — Value Acceptance
- Narrative: near-proximity to value edge, D1 pullback to newly formed demand
- Preferred: Early Acceptance and quick follow-through
- Con: larger timeframe bullish sentiment, ADR 0.5 low and D1 C‑dem at VAL
