This is my pre­mar­ket prep for today’s Euro­pean ses­sion for the Forex pair GBPNZD. This prep builds off of my week­ly trade plan I made here:

GBPNZD Week 1 Trad­ing Plan

The pur­pose of a pre­mar­ket prep is to find setups with­in my week­ly trade plan bias

Week­ly Focus Points

• Don’t take trades where SL place­ment is sub­op­ti­mal. Instead, reassess for a bet­ter entry if pos­si­ble. Unless there is a momen­tum play.

Com­pared against Week­ly Trad­ing Plan

• Trad­ing away from W1 sup­ply deep­er into MN demand

Non-con­jec­ture obser­va­tions of the market

• Price action
  • D1 trad­ed down tak­ing out demand and arriv­ing clean at D1-C‑D 1.87573 and D1 QLo
  • H4 Phase 4 form­ing a sup­ply base at H4-C‑S 1.88284 through Bear Engulf arriv­ing at D1 QLo (no rejec­tion yet) while still mid H4 swing.
  • H4 clos­ing fur­ther down into D1 demand premarket. 
• Mar­ket Profile
  • Yes­ter­day left a poor high at 1.88740
  • After val­ue was cre­at­ed on top of the pre­vi­ous brack­et­ing range we now have a val­ue below it
  • ADR: 1267
  • ASR: 1012
    • 26
  • Day
    • Yes­ter­day’s High 1.89176
    • Yes­ter­day’s Low 1.87577

Sen­ti­ment

• Loca­tions
  • H4-C‑S 1.88284 at VAL
  • D1-C‑D 1.87573 at yesterday’s low
• Sen­ti­ment
  • LN open
    • Below Val­ue, Out­side Range
  • Open dis­tance to value
    • 1xASR
  • Sen­ti­ment
    • Large Imbal­ance. With val­ues expand­ing and try­ing to break from brack­et­ing range com­bined with near­by D1 demand and QLo we could be see­ing a tran­si­tion to Phase 1 and then 2 com­ing into the mar­ket on a longer term. Espe­cial­ly since we still have some way to go before hit­ting the W1 demand. On the medi­um term hori­zon I will let pro­file, val­ue open sen­ti­ment and price action guide me (as always). 
• Clar­i­ty (1–5, 5 being best)
  • 4
• Hypo 1 — Mean Reversion
  • Price trad­ing with­in D1 QLo, near­ing H4 QLo, near­by H4/D1 C‑dems
  • Pre­ferred: Strong Bull­ish price action rever­sal per­haps dur­ing IB after a fur­ther retest down to H4-C‑D 1.86623. Oth­er­wise a failed auc­tion after an IB exten­sion down. 
• Hypo 2 — Trend Continuation
  • ADR exhaus­tion (just below H4 QLo, no rever­sal pat­terns, IB exten­sion down with sus­tained auction
