Confirming Trends with the Lower Time Frames EUR/JPY Example
Hey Guys!
As you know, I'm currently waiting for a pullback to at least 131.67 for a short entry with the stop loss at 133.68 and the main target at 114.40.
Like always, I'm watching the lower time frames to confirm whether or not I will get this pullback to 131.67.
During the initial move long there were several confirmations of short term long strength on the 1M-15M charts through Trendline break outs then immediate breaks back into the trendline. ( Immediate break back in means: the break out candle's close and the break back in candle's open is at the same price level)
Thus was expecting short term long strength. However, 8 pips from my short entry level, there was a legitimate 15M Head and Shoulders that went it's target height level before reaching the right shoulder's stop loss level. Signaling waning short term long strength. ( If long strength was present, price should ignore the H&S and not reach it's target height price level and stop traders out at the right shoulder's stop loss level. )( I can't explain the details here.)
So price did not reach my short entry level at 131.67 by a whopping 8 pips! (Yikes!!!!)
Soon after, there was a 4h trendline break out with no immediate break back in further signaling 4h waning long strength.(Ti----mberrrrr!)
Currently, there was a downward 1h trendline that was broken out to the long side, with no immediate break back in signaling "slight" waning short term short strength. ( I say slight due to the 1h Trendline not being as prominent as I would like to signal waning short strength.)
In this way, I measure whether or not I will get a pullback for higher time frame entries (Weekly trade in this case) using the lower time frames to confirm short term long/short strength. However, I also use this method to confirm higher time frame trends. Or as I like to call it, higher time frame "biases".
I'll keep you guys updated with this short set up!
Have a great day guys!
