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:

GBPNZD Week 47 Trad­ing Plan

The pur­pose of a pre­mar­ket prep is to find setups with­in my week­ly trade plan bias

Week­ly Focus Points

• Don’t take trades where SL place­ment is sub­op­ti­mal. Instead, reassess for a bet­ter entry if possible. 

Com­pared against Week­ly Trad­ing Plan

• Price arrived at and is trad­ing just above W1-C‑D 1.92065

Non-con­jec­ture obser­va­tions of the market

• Price action
  • Weak D1 Three Inside Up at D1/H4 C‑Dem return­ing back at D1-C‑S 1.92947 which proved reac­tive again form­ing an Inside bar
  • Arrival at H4-C‑S 1.92739 with no clean break away (test­ing sup­ply twice) trad­ing with­in D1 QLo just above H4 VWAP after test­ing H4 QLo and D1-C‑D 1.91857 (at W1-C‑D 1.92065) proved reactive
• Mar­ket Profile
  • Brack­ets expand­ing dis­tance with cur­rent­ly price trad­ing below Friday’s VA
  • ADR: 1503
  • ASR: 955
    • 25
  • Day
    • Yes­ter­day’s High 1.93147
    • Yes­ter­day’s Low 1.91817

Sen­ti­ment

• Loca­tions
  • H4-C‑S 1.92739 at VAL (LTF Sup­ply as well), D1-C‑S 1.92947 VAH (not far above (tighter VA)
  • Wide ADR exhaustions
• Sen­ti­ment
  • LN open
    • Below Val­ue, Out­side Range
  • Open dis­tance to value
    • 0.4xASR
  • Sen­ti­ment
    • After a reac­tion off new­ly formed D1-C‑D 1.91857 H4 closed as a pos­si­ble Base so there might be more down­side on the short term ast here was no fol­low-through to the move. Prefer­ably a return to val­ue play would be best. With rel­a­tive close prox­im­i­ty to VA, even though out­side range, we could see a con­tin­u­a­tion to the leg down as well. 
• Clar­i­ty (1–5, 5 being best)
  • 3
• Hypo 1 — Return to Val­ue (short)
  • VAL + H4 C‑Sup + LTF supply
  • Pre­ferred: PA rever­sal with­in IB + exten­sion down (momen­tum)
• Hypo 2 — Con­tin­u­a­tion (short)
  • Pre­ferred: IB clos­ing below W1 C‑dem prefer­ably tak­ing out LTF demand with IB extend­ing down (prefer­ably on momentum)
• Hypo 3 — VAA (risky)
  • If there is a VAA we could see a move (slow ini­tia­tive activ­i­ty) mov­ing deep­er into over­head sup­ply although this move is not favored.
