1/4 #PriceAction Just wanted to comment on current price action and what I personally think price is doing. Price goes from ranging to trending, accumulation to distribution and vice versa. Simple price action delivery. 1. Previous PA 2. Current PA 3. Conclusion

Price enters a range which we can mark up as distribution. Rather than make new highs/lows it distributes. MSB failure to shift new highs. Price trends down with price re- distribution.

Had a pretty good example on the power of 3 yesterday. Accumulate at day open, manipulate price down shortly after to engineer liquidity then push price up and looking to distribute.

Retracement Reversal Consolidation Expansion
It’s important to identify what cycle the market is producing before entering a trade. Went ahead and a made small brief explanation for each.
BTC/USD,60

41
5. Cycle of the market
2/6 1. Retracement
42
The market pulls back to an area of liquidity. It can either deviate and or run a significant low to trend the market.
BTC/USD,60
43
5. Cycle of the market
3/6 2. Reversal
44
The market reverses after engineering liquidity. Market Structure is broken and the trend is shifted whether it’s short, mid or long term.
BTC/USD,60
45
5. Cycle of the market
4/6 3. Consolidation
46
One of the cycles that tends to chop and cause directional flip in bias multiple times. The market trades in a tight range before deciding its next directional trend. Not the best cycle to plant setups.
BTC/USD,60
47
5. Cycle of the market
5/6 4. Expansion After a tight consolidation coming off a healthy reversal point the market decides the trend into the next area of liquidity pocket whether it’s a swing point and or a SR level (supply).

5. Cycle of the market
6/6 Conclusion
50
Market structure is key. Identifying what cycle the market is painting in Market Structure will allow you to know which trades to avoid and which have the highest hit rate. Under and know your market.

5. Cycle of the market
1/6 #PriceAction Write up on how you can set yourself up between different time frames and have a filtered bias and game plan as the market moves Using current PA: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
Importance of Multi Bias Setups HTF Resistance Setups Mid TF directional bias LTF scalps Conclusion

6. Time frames
2/6 1. Importance of Multi Bias Setups As the market moves you’re fortunate enough to play either direction. Rather than be stuck on a one sided bias have a game plan for each time frame.
BTC/USD,240

55
6. Time frames
3/6 2. HTF Resistance Setups
56
As the market trends it’s important to focus on potential reversal areas. Triggers I use are Weekly SR with formed daily/H12 Supply levels Look for developing PA in these areas along with distribution as we tend to range for a long period of time.
BTC/USD,1D
57
6. Time frames
4/6 3. Mid TF directional bias Directional bias means pick a trade in which the market trends. Triggers I use are Daily demand levels with re defined H12-H4 entries Ideally you want a trade that offers a market structure break retest and continuation of the trend.
BTC/USD,240
58
59
6. Time frames
5/6 4. LTF scalps Multi bias. Triggers I use for scalps are key levels along with ltf ranges that form and sweeps. Market exhausts and consolidates. You want to look for swing points that form and scalp either direction.
BTC/USD,15

61
6. Time frames
6/6 5. Conclusion
62
The market moves both ways and offers different opportunities. Being stuck and focused on one directional bias mindset eliminates the opportunities that come from trading different market directions. Have a plan for each time frame and trade the plan.
63
6. Time frames
1/2 Some of my best setups have been during the apex of Asia Session into LO Open/Pre Session
64
The market tends to sell off/rally before printing a reversal at formed supply/demand levels during liquidity injection Useful tool for session hours. Enjoy! https://tradinghours.com/countdown

7. Market session
2/2 Another example from last night. Sell off on Asia session and the apex into LO as price reached formed demand we managed to reverse. Knowing when to trade is also important as how to trade. Managed to catch this.

Most Alts are printing the same structure. Break of a swing low followed by a shift above and retest of any formed demand/breaker. Dips are for buying this week on Alts.
69
8. ALT
70 1/3 This is how Alts have played out the last few weeks to my perspective and currently.
1. Initial drive up (get people bullish) 2. Sell off into HTF Demand (Sentiment flips bearish) 3. Price gets back above with trapped funds in lock. Examples attached. Enjoy!
71
8. ALT
2/3 When you see price move up early in the week and sentiment favoring a certain side its good to zoom out and mark out your untested HTF Demands as we might be engineering liquidity. (Notes on chart)

3/3 Conclusion

75
Mark out your HTF Demands Don’t chase price but rather wait for certain elements to present themselves before entering. Requires patience and discipline but the clarity in the move is much clear. Block out the noise and trade your system Trade Safe

Three Tap Setup One of the easier setups to spot and play after identifying your range. This setup is tailored around trapping breakout traders and forming a base to retest at a later date 1. Swing Point forms 2. Swing Point Swept/Deviate 3. Retest Enjoy!
95
10. Three Tap Setup
2/3
96
Examples + Rant: When price reaches a formed swing point in a range its common to get “bearish at demand” and “bullish at supply” Those expecting a break will enter a breakout trade ultimately getting trapped as we return to the level the trap started at a later date. ,12H
97
10. Three Tap Setup
3/3 Conclusion:
98
The market revolves around liquidity moving from low to high and vice versa running stops on both ends. Its good to enter the market at the extremes: The area buyers stepped in and the area sellers stepped in.

2/5 Example #PriceAction Quick write up on a setup I had took last week. 1. 2. 3. 4.
Price deviation Supply formed following MSB/ MS shift Price comes to supply Entry/Target triggers
1. Price deviation Deviation confirms once price breaks back inside range and MS shifts. 2. Supply forms Untested supply forms following the market structure break and shift indicating change of ltf trend.

Entry identified following the sweep with stop placement above the swept high. If price indication is downwards then we shouldn’t revisit the same high twice. Target would be range low

1/3 RP Breaker Setup
132
Here is a current review on some current price action on a short setup using the breaker setup. High forms Price breaks the high/deviates above and prints a market structure break, Formed Demand in grey. Ideally you want this demand to hold to confirm a valid shift.

133
14. RP Breaker Setup
2/3 Demand fails to hold and you have a MSB to the downside. Price retests the newly formed breaker.
