Hey everyone!

Entry

Trade Description

An overall long-term bullish structure has been formed since last year, technical indicators (MAs and Stoch) signal demand presence after the market broke a resistance area to then pull back to it.

Lack of supply pressure is shown when the market interacted with the (in theory) new support zone, both through price action and the Stoch indicator.

TP1 is set at the high of the impulse that broke the resistance zone, and TP2 will remain open with a trailing SL. There are some long-term areas that can work as potential targets for the second take profit, routine market monitoring will tell when a manual close of the second half is good. SL placed 1 ATR below the last low made on the resistance breakout test.

Follow up:

Lack of follow-through signals potential strong presence of supply around the newly formed support area, however, H4 shows strong signs of consolidation which backs-up the idea of a continuation as long as the support remains valid.

The triangle seems to be breaking to the downside, but the support is older and the price hasn’t made any significant bearish run to suspect a potential fake breakout.
