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
- Moved above last week’s body
Non-conjecture observations of the market
- Price action
- D1 closing higher at D1 200MA and deeper into D1 QHi after reacting off W1 QLo
- H4-C‑D 1.92000 formed through a huge Bull Engulf followed by some pullback leaving behind a long buying wick.
- Price continued to form a H4 Bearish Inside Bar, probably a consolidation
- Premarket: H4 RBR
- Trend: H4 up, D1 up, W1 down
- Market Profile
- 5 day bracket with value created below
- ADR: 1109
- ASR: 936
- 24
- Day
- Yesterday’s High 1.93334
- Yesterday’s Low 1.91641
Sentiment
- Locations
- H4-C‑S 1.94113 above ADR exhaustion
- D1-C‑D 1.920000 at VAH
- Sentiment
- LN open
- Above Value, Outside Range
- Open distance to value
- 1.1xASR
- Narrative
- Large Imbalance. Due to open sentiment we could see a pullback to VAH or LTF demand as we have D1-C‑D 1.920000 at VAH this could be the pullback in the larger timeframe bullish narrative.
- LN open
- Clarity (1–5, 5 being best)
- 4
- Hypo 1 — Return to Value
- Narrative: Larger timeframe bullish sentiment, large imbalance at the open
- Preferred: Pullback to LTF demand above VAH before continuing higher, bullish price action, sustained auction possible exhausting ADR
- Con: Trading right into D1 supply we could see a low/medium initiative activity day
- Hypo 2 — Mean Reversion
- Narrative: Large imbalance at the open
- Preferred: Asia moved higher, we could see a slight continuation to the move during the early hours of the session before a failed auction and move lower.
- Con: Larger time frame bullish sentiment
- Hypo 3 — Trend Continuation
- Narrative: Larger time frame bullish sentiment with H4 having formed a RBR
- Preferred: Momentum move higher with sustained auction exhausting ADR
- Con: Trading right into D1 supply we could see a low/medium initiative activity day
