Understanding Market Structure In 5 MinutesThis video goes into depth on the types of market structures and how they happen. Ranging -> Breakout (Spike) -> Channel (trend or a ranging trend) -> Climax. The market moves in these repeatable patterns over and over and over again. If you can diagnose where we are in these cycles then you can harness this skill to improve your trading.
Ranges
Very basic understanding of support and resistance areas (2 min)In trading, support and resistance are key concepts that help traders analyze price movements and make informed decisions. Here's a basic explanation:
Support:
Definition: Support is a price level at which a financial instrument (like a stock, currency pair, or commodity) tends to stop falling and may even bounce back up due to buyers.
Analogy: Think of support like a floor that prevents the price from falling further. It's a level where buyers are more inclined to enter the market, seeing the current price as attractive.
Resistance:
Definition: Resistance is a price level at which a financial instrument tends to stop rising and may face difficulty moving higher due to seller pressure.
Analogy: Picture resistance as a ceiling that prevents the price from going higher. It's a level where sellers may be more active, considering the current price as too high.
In summary, support and resistance are like psychological levels in the market where buying and selling interest tends to cluster. Traders use these levels to make decisions about when to enter or exit trades, set stop-loss orders, or identify potential trend reversals. When the price approaches support, traders may look for buying opportunities, while at resistance, they may consider selling or taking profits.
There are two possibilities on GBP/AUD with short-term...Sterling is still displaying a degree of resilience on BoE rate recalibration grounds due to Governor Bailey’s NIRP push-back yesterday, but also on a slightly more positive note from UK PM Johnson who claims to see signs that national lockdown is stemming the pandemic spread. Cable has rejected 1.3700 again, but bounced from sub-1.3650 lows after a temporary breach of a Fib retracement level (23.6% of the move from 1.3450 to 1.3701 at 1.3642) and Eur/Gbp is filling what looks like pre-fix RHS orders just above 0.8900 after failing to extend the downside through the round number. Aussie under 0.7750 pre-NZ building consents and retail sales by card payment, plus Chinese trade data, with little lasting support for Nzd/Usd from ANZ retracting its forecast for the RBNZ to adopt NIRP. There are two possibilities on GBP/AUD with short-term upside favoured.
