Premise To Swing Trade Strengthens

Scan Of The Markets

The demise of the USD keeps ongoing. It has been and continues to be a bloodbath for the world’s reserve currency with EUR/USD breaking into its highest in 21 months circa 1.1750, Gold ballooning into all-time highs, Bitcoin taking out $10k, you get the picture.

The risk sentiment has also adjusted to the positive side, as reflected by the more stable behavior in the Aussie or the recouping of recent losses in the equity space. The complex of the 3 most followed global indices (SP500, Nasdaq, Dow) saw solid buying.

Today, I’ve come up with a total of 16 markets that remain in an active buy-side or sell-side campaign (watch my video analysis), in other words, markets where the convergence of the 4h and daily timeframes measured via structures and momentum grants us permission to build a premise to expect one side exerting overall control.

This translates in plenty of markets to add as part of our watch list. That’s step one. We should then be pragmatic enough to let the price come into contact within the 13-LWMA vicinity and then let the market forces dictate if enough technical evidence re-surfaces to engage again in buy or sell-side business.

Trending Markets On My Radar

In this section, from the table above, and after scanning through the charts, I short-list the markets that meet the criteria or may soon do to engage on a directional trend off higher timeframes through a 15m timeframe entry. To get a deeper dive into the markets included in this section, watch my daily video analysis below.

Hot Trade Of The Day

In this section, I pick a market or several ones that presented an opportunity to buy on weakness or sell on strength based on the higher timeframes outlook. My video analysis below will further elaborate on the logic behind the trade. 

In line with the ongoing bearish rally in all things USD-denominated, the USD/CHF pair presented an opportunity to reinstate short exposure in the battered USD following the European bounce. Once the 15m chart fractal got taken out well within what I label to be a discounting region (13-LWMA +-0.13% envelope), this was the admission by the market forces to reinstate short positions. This trade is now risk-free and aims for a 3:1.

MARKET STRUCTURES

Markets evolve in cycles followed by a period of distribution and/or accumulation. To understand the principles applied in the assessment of market structures, refer to the tutorial How To Read Market Structures In Forex.

In order to assess the market momentum of a particular asset, I’ve promoted for years the idea of using what I call the smart money tracker.

SUPPORT & RESISTANCE

Unlike levels of dynamic support or resistance or more subjective measurements such as Fibonacci retracements, pivot points, trendlines, or other forms of reactive areas, horizontal areas of support and resistance are universal concepts used by the majority of market participants. It, therefore, makes the areas the most widely followed. The Ultimate Guide To Identify Areas Of High Interest.
