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 18 Trad­ing Plan

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

Week­ly Focus Points

• Min. 3 times hit­ting the gym + manda­to­ry cardio
• Trad­ing rules
  • M15/M30 entries and exits at 1st DTTZ, M5 entries and exits at 2nd DTTZ
  • Only price-action based exit rules (or if hit time stop comes earlier)
    • Oth­er­wise a Bart Simp­son exercise

Com­pared against Week­ly Trad­ing Plan

• Trad­ing with­in MN Bear­ish Inside Bar
• Trad­ing above last week’s Doji’s body and range con­tin­u­ing reac­tion off W1-C‑D 1.92120

Non-con­jec­ture obser­va­tions of the market

• Price action
  • D1 RBR with yes­ter­day clos­ing above D1 VWAP in DT leav­ing behind a very long sell­ing wick after react­ing off D1-C‑S 1.94900, D1 Phase 2
  • H4 con­sol­i­da­tion and Break Down at H4-C‑S 1.94650 (and H4 QHi) through a Bear Engulf (giv­ing H4-C‑S 1.94090 although high in dis­tri­b­u­tion curve) although with­out fol­low-through. Instead some demand was cre­at­ed above H4 UKC in R with near­by VWAP in UT
• Trend: H4 Up, D1 Down, W1 Up
  • Pre­vail­ing trend: Mixed Trend after a down trend

Sen­ti­ment

• Loca­tions
  • H4-C‑S 1.94650 at VAH
  • H4-C‑S 1.94090 (high in dis­tri­b­u­tion curve) at VAL

• Sen­ti­ment
  • LN open
    • With­in Value
  • Open dis­tance to value
    • N.A.
  • Pre­mar­ket
    • H4-C‑D 1.93851 was con­firmed through H4 Three Inside Up
  • Nar­ra­tive
    • Bal­anc­ing Mar­ket. There was a H4 Three Inside Up cre­at­ed pre­mar­ket just below VAL so there might be a bounce in the form of a Val­ue Rejec­tion Fail­ure of this lev­el. If price holds below in a sus­tained auc­tion price could reject value.
• Clar­i­ty (1–5, 5 being best)
  • 4
