I need to get better at
1. Identifying what state the market is in
2. What number 1-5 in the cycle it is in
3. Avoiding numbers 1,3,5
4. Only trading in cycles 2 and 4
The market only goes between narrow states and wide states
My strategy is the 21ema and the 200sma
I use the 5 minute, the 15 minute and the 1 hour timeframe for Intra Day Trading
I tend...
Looking at the week ahead on the hourly chart, the first thing I notice is that the hourly 21ema is now trending down and declining. The hourly 200sma looks to remain flat and a cross is set to happen later in the week.
I am looking for a pullback into the declining 21ema, whether it stalls right at it or pops above it by a little bit.
I see two spots on the...

Fortify Michael J Huddlestone's concepts that I have studied to consistently predict where the market is more likely to go.
This includes;
- Market Structure
- Buyside/Sellside Liquidity
- Order Blocks
- Liquidity Voids
- Fair Value Gaps
- Optimal Trade Entry
- Premium/Discount Array
- SIBI/BISI
- Many More!

Todays the interest rate decision.
Powell already signaled, that we will not cut rates too early (they already did that in 1970 and the inflation spiked then).
With lasts weeks Consumer Price Index Inflation data (0.1% higher then expected), FED will most likely NOT CUT the interest rate today.
Stocks will react on that by selling off (because interest rate stays...
The 1 hour time frame on the ETH chart is identical to the 15 minute chart on the RTH session chart.
I prefer the RTH session chart due to the cleanliness of the price action.
15 Minute RTH
1 Hour ETH
YM has been frontrunning the market, with all-time highs printing on the 23rd of Feb 24 and this Fridays close being a short term high @$39,008.
$38,399 is where my interest is drawn to with $38,323 being the intermediate EQ which I aim to target.

I see the start of a down move over the course of the next 6-8 weeks to drift down to the bottom of the range in order to achieve a couple of objectives.
1. Fill the Gap from January 19th
2. Hit all the stops from Longs along the way
3. Hit the 1X range expansion of the High/Low from Feb 23rd- Mar 5th
I am bullish over the next decade but right now it looks...
I have been getting my behind kicked the last two months due to this range bound market.
Something that I just now noticed is that on the hourly, the 21ema (purple line) is the same exact average as the 5 minute's 200sma. They are one and the same.
Since price is not respecting the hourly's 21ema, then logically, it will not respect the 5 minute's 200sma and...
Just like January 19th how price closed above the 21ema after a couple of down/sideways days, it went on to continue the bull trend.
Today did the same thing. Closed above the 21 after a couple of down/sideways days.
After placing a trendline at the exact 50% mark of today, I believe price should stay above it and the 21ema IF the bullish trend is to...
Well As you can see, we can see the SMT here so we can expect a downtrend.
The first condition is, that we see the price close the candle body below the bullish FVG, only then can we expect the price to go lower to collect the sell-side liquidity.
After that, If the first condition occurs, we need the candle closure below the sell side liquidity, then the...
I see two gaps that need to be filled. Will they get filled? I don't know. I am leaning bullish. I can see the market bumping up against the 200sma one more time before falling down to fill the gap on the bottom. Then a bullish climb higher to fill the gap higher?
Or perhaps it doesn't fill the gap on the upside yet on Friday and will wait for Monday or Tuesday?...
I found an interesting pattern that has happened 3 times so far.
A sell off day
A gap up and fill
A second gap up and fill. Sometimes doesn't fill, just continues bullish
First Pattern
Second Pattern
Third Pattern
This could mean nothing but it was something I felt sharing
Unlike ES and NQ, YM has failed to create a higher high on the daily timeframe suggesting that if we were to see some form of a retracement, YM could be the first mover.

Now that Monday has finished trading, I have a better idea of what is likely to happen.
Price is looking like it is in a 2 legged pullback to find the next higher low.
Price has been inside of a bear flag since the 27th
I will be looking for shorts on Tuesday and Wednesday down into major 1 hour support for a new higher low.
My stops are always 30-40 ticks...
This is my demand zones for US30, it has been a long time since I traded US 30, but it's looking very bullish! We have made some new highs and expect to keep pushing! The target could be 40000 in the longer term since that´s a round number and a psychological level.
Apologies for the quality in this recording. My previous one deleted last minute and I never had time to create another detailed review before work.
Last week, we were looking out for shorts but never got the full range.
This time, 39,050 - 39,040 is in the cards for this weeks trading

Market is extremely bullish, and likely to try the 4000 USD psychological level to attract more buyers. In any case, we need to see the H1 schematic to play out, and in this case, wait to see what happens in Phase C and D.
