Beginners Guide to Market Structure

Market Structure is the most fundamental aspect of analysing charts, mastering it goes a long way in increasing one's reading of price. It provides us with a narrative with which to look at price. At a glance market structure looks quite simple but when studied in depth it has many nuances & can provide with very valuable information. Market structure is fractal in nature which means that the same pattern of price making higher highs & lower lows or vice versa repeats on all time frames. A bullish market structure on a higher time frame can have a bearish market structure on a lower time frame in its retracement leg. To analyse market structure a Top Down approach is used in which we start out by marking the structure on a higher time frame & then move down to lower time frames repeating the same process till we know where price is presently.
