This rally has good momentum and previously, i mentioned I only take trades when the candle formations are within the zone.
Now, at 61.8% retracement, there is a good case when I always use risk to reward to confirm possible setups. Although i am
planning to short, it has to be in my favour. I am using a longer term 4 hour time frame to trade so i'd look out for lower high,
lower candle on the 4 hour chart, must be within the zone and place a stop entry below that candle.

Comment:

FYI, actually my entry method is dependent if i'm trading patterns or market structure. For patterns, it's always fixed but for structures, i take into account the momentum and volume taking me to the zone.If, it creeps up slowly with low volume, i may decide to enter on 61.8% instead of waiting for a lower high lower low to form in the zone.

Comment:

I'm preparing to short, wont chase it. I'd like to see it pop up to 2445 area and above. Currently it is selling off after bad housing numbers.

Comment:

It is right now popping back. I'd be looking at 1 hour chart for my lower low lower high close.
