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
- Price trading below last week’s body within W1 QLo (no close yet)
Non-conjecture observations of the market
- Price action
- D1 huge bear engulfing after reacting off overhead supply and D1 200MA giving D1-C‑S 1.91955 closing above MN-C‑D 1.89745 within W1 QLo with slight reaction off D1-C‑D 1.89878
- Mid D1 swing
- Clean arrival at H4 QLo formed an Inside Bar and some demand
- Premarket: H4 closed as bear engulf
- Trend: H4 Down, D1 Down, W1 Down
- Market Profile
- Price trading below value
- ADR: 1365
- ASR: 964
- 25
- Day

Sentiment
- Locations
- N.A.
- Sentiment
- LN open
- Below Value,Outside Range
- Open distance to value
- 1.2xASR
- Narrative
- Large Imbalance. Yesterday we had a unidirectional day and today’s open shows a large imbalance that we could possibly have some form of a mean reversion. If we do hold below and take out newly formed demand we could see a continuation to the move.
- LN open
- Clarity (1–5, 5 being best)
- 4
- Hypo 1 — Mean Reversion
- Narrative: Open sentiment, H4 QLo, D1/MN C‑dem
- Preferred: Bullish price action with IB extension up and sustained auction. Target around VAL although some LTF congestion along the way.
- Con: H4 bear engulf premarket
- Hypo 2 — Responsive activity
- Narrative: H4 consolidation continued
- Hypo 3 — Trend Continuation
- Narrative: Continuation to D1 move
- Preferred: Early taking out of newly formed demand, IB extension down (momentum) sustained auction.
- Con: Large Imbalance at the open as well as D1/MN c‑dem below.
Additional notes
- Last two days of the month so might not trade at all.
