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 trade the main account
Compared against Weekly Trading Plan
- Price trading within last week’s body above W1 QLo
Non-conjecture observations of the market
- Price action
- Big D1 Bull Engulf after reacting off MN-C‑D 1.89719 closing above W1 QLo arriving but closing below D1 200MA
- H4 Phase 1 transition to 2 arriving at H4-C‑S 1.92219 (and within H4 QHi) followed by trading below said supply and H4 Qhi
- Premarket: H4 closed as a DBD
- Trend: H4 Down, D1 Down, W1 Down
- Market Profile
- Large (1.3xASR) value area was created last Friday above the previous value
- ADR: 1555
- ASR: 1100
- 28
- Day
- Yesterday’s High 1.92884
- Yesterday’s Low 1.89381
Sentiment
- Locations
- D1-C‑S 1.92964 at ADR 0.5 High and previous day’s high
- Sentiment
- LN open
- Above Value, Outside Range (range equal to VAH)
- Open distance to value
- 0.4xASR
- Narrative
- Moderate Imbalance. Asia traded slightly lower. Due to larger timeframe bullish sentiment we might see a Return to Value (premarket traded lower) before continuing higher. On the other side a value acceptance could mean more balancing on the short term plus it would be opposing the move on Friday. Due to some congestion at PPOC this might prove a bit risky of an opportunity although the trend is down and price has moved lower below H4 supply.
- LN open
- Clarity (1–5, 5 being best)
- 4
- Hypo 1 — Swing Reversal
- Narrative: Medium timeframe range with price trading at top levels might see a move to the other side
- Preferred: Bearish price action with IB extension down followed by value acceptance
- Con: Congestion at PPOC
- Hypo 2 — Return to Value
- Narrative: Larger time frame bullish sentiment. Asia traded slightly lower.
- Preferred: Bullish Price action with IB extension up and sustained auction. IB extension down (testing VAH) with failed auction might be a better opportunity as it clears some space to leave for a better profit target.
- Con: Overhead H4 supply, H4 QHi Rejection, huge D1 bull engulf might see some retracement
