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 arrived at W1-C‑D 1730 and W1 LKC in UT with some reaction

Non-con­jec­ture obser­va­tions of the market

• Price action
  • D1 arrival at W1-C‑D 1730 
  • H4 DBR Bull Engulf at W1 C‑Dem with con­tin­u­a­tion higher
  • Pre­mar­ket: H4 trad­ed high­er clos­ing as a spin­ning top with longer sell­ing wick. M30 Bear Engulf pre­mar­ket at VAL.
• Trend
  • Trend: H4 Down, D1 down, W1 up

Sen­ti­ment

• Loca­tions
  • H4-C‑S 1770 above VAH with­in Range
• Sen­ti­ment
  • LN open
    • Below Val­ue, Out­side Range
  • Open dis­tance to value
    • 0.3xASR
  • Nar­ra­tive
    • Mod­er­ate Imbal­ance. Due to larg­er time­frame bear­ish sen­ti­ment and ini­tial reac­tion off W1 c‑dem lev­el we could see a con­tin­u­a­tion down. WIth the open some­what near VAL and Bear Engulf pre­mar­ket back­ing enhanc­ing this bias. Although price action shows we could be in for more upside as a spin­ning top with longer sell­ing wick has proven to be unre­li­able quite some times. 
• Clar­i­ty (1–5, 5 being best)
  • 4
• Hypo 1 — Return to Value
  • Nar­ra­tive: Larg­er time­frame bear­ish sentiment
  • Pre­ferred: Bear­ish price action, pos­si­ble test­ing val­ue but not clos­ing with­in fol­lowed by an IB exten­sion down
  • Con: N.A.
• Hypo 2 — Val­ue Acceptance
  • Nar­ra­tive: 
  • Pre­ferred: 
  • Con: val­ue very tight, lots of con­ges­tion above plus H4 c‑sup above VAH, larg­er time­frame bear­ish sentiment
