Premarket Prep USDCAD 05052020

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

http://bearmarkettrader.com/2020/05/03/usdcad-week-19-trade-plan/

The purpose of a premarket prep is to make alterations to my weekly trading plan and adjust a certain bias if need be. 

These were the hypotheticals in my weekly trading plan:

  1. Swing Reversal H4 Supply ZOI (completed 60%)
    1. Price action confirming on H4 rejecting H4 Supply ZOI
    2. Possible short entry around 1.417
    3. Targets 1.411, 1.406, 1.402, extended target 1.396
  2. M30 VWAP BD (completed 100%, targets hit during NY)
    1. Price action + MP extending IB confirming a break below VWAP
    2. Possible short around 1.406
    3. Targets 1.402, 1.396
  3. Prev. Day High Reversal
    1. M30 Price action + MP extending IB confirming rejection
    2. Possible short around 1.409
    3. Targets 1.406, 1.402, 1.396

Observations of the market

  • Daily chart is showing an Evening star within D1 Supply ZOI just above conterminous line 1.406
  • D1/H4 QHi Swing reversal in line with weekly thesis
  • H4 Range with higher volatility in play still
  • Price getting close enough to H4 VWAP that it could find buyers on the medium term but on the short term it could still BD from H4 supply 1.405-1.409, will need further confirmation on M30
  • Price below M30 VWAP in lower half of KC range, 2nd test of M30 Demand ZOI 1.405-1.406 during AS (less reliable)
  • Market Profile
    • AS opened below prev. Day VAL but within range and then tested prev. Day Low with a developing double distribution
    • Price currently below EU VAL + range
    • Price currently below US VAL but within range

Today’s hypotheticals

  1. BD Prev. Day Low / D1 Conterminous Line (short)
    1. London open below PVAL + Range, IB extension to downside (price action confirming) indicating continuation and BD H4/M30 Demand ZOI
    2. Targets 1.404, 1.4027
  2. Range bound 1.404-1.408

Trade will either hit my target or I will close off with time-based stop loss at noon London time regardless of where the trade is.
