Consistent climb and fall, expect a fall before big climb following pattern

Fibonacci Retracement(D1)

Pull back end of february pushes beyond 50 and 61.8, Fibonacci suggests holding pattern and then price will climb?? I dont think my use of this is correct as I am not sure if its relevant in this pattern?

Candlestick patterns

Doji and spinning tops over the past 4 days suggests bearish market is loosing control and market is continuation

Inverse hammer *2 suggests bull incoming

Inverse hammers * 2 suggests market will swing up

Conclusion:

Continuation patterns. Bearish pennant and bearish rectangle suggests price will continue to fall over longer term.

Sharp fall and climb pattern suggests another downturn incoming.

Short term inverse hammers suggest pair will increase in value.

Short term climb followed by longer term fall or continuation.

I placed 2 trades, a very short term buy order and a longer term sell order:

Take profit: 1.07148
Stop loss: 1.07116
Buy price: 1.07141

This closed at the TP level. :slight_smile:

Given evidence, I see price falling over short and middle term.

Take profit: 1.07015
Stop loss: 1.07240
Sell price: 1.07144

This is currently open, again, I am not happy with my RRR, my Stop Loss feels too high at 9 pips, whereas take profit at 12 pips…but I feel the need to allow my trade to breath…advice. I am finding it hard to be strict at the 1:3 RRR. I think that is because I am placing my trades early at 06:20 BST due to ability to work at this time hence the need for ‘breathing’ space.

Please critique, all feedback is very welcome.

Well, a good day actually as I made 8 trades, all of which hit the TP level.

The problem is, my hypothesis was wrong and the day spent climbing for EUR/USD!

Tomorrow - I am going to do TA focussing on D1 charts only.
