I hope this helps.
A is the pivot that the price was attacking before we could get a C point.
So how do we arrive at C? We arrive at C because price has pushed the RSI above the level it was at when pivot A formed.
We then measure the distance between A and B which is my grey box and place it on C. The rest you know. It either goes up or down to test 50% of the predicted move or it goes up or down to the measure target.

Ok you seem to have the AB = CD's down ok.

Now why on the 5 min has price shot up and then shot down again?

I will when a couple have had a go.

Nothing that I haven't already told about.

Hi Alan,
is it anything to do with attempting to push up on the H4 and hitting previous HH on the MA29, just a guess

Hi Alan,
Both shot up then down because of bullish & bearish RSI on H1.
Is this correct?

The question was on the 5 min chart, nothing to do with the 1 hour which hasn't had time to do the moves. Well maybe it has but I wasn't referring to that. That was a good inference though.

Hello. From here in the UK it looks like the price was affected by Brexit news: Buying the headlines, then selling the details. So the news moved the price but then it returned back to it's expected path (pretty much).

OK … When the session begins I tend to watch the 5 min intently for the signals produced there.

For this I need to show the two RSI indicators.

The first was a bull RSI div (D1) but the run up ran into a bear div so we either close or hedge depending on your circumstance.

The run down went to another RSI div (D2) so it was now set up to pass the latest swing high average which it did convincingly with an impulse bar taking it to and above the target level.

This then pulled back because it was a reg bear div. but the bulls found support (dotted green).

From the support the price ran up and into trouble with A HD sending it back below the EMA where it then ran into another HD of a bullish nature..

Now the price action is contained between the two average swings.

The point is that every move was indicated by a signal on the 5 min chart.

I have nothing to question these moves. Signals-driven moves.
As a starter, I always look for inference on higher TFs like H1 first before drilling down to lower tfs for entries.
Trading absolutely based on M5 still too complicated for me to react ontime.

I saw them all and acted well today. Just that I did not take another trade on the HD since I was done.
Trading S/R with PA only. No indicators anymore!

Thx Alan, great explanation as Always, but weren't those moves to be seen on the h1, every move had its divergence. Only it was everytime in the candle that was built up or are such divergence signals not to be trusted

In this case the two primary moves were to be seen, but I saw several more on the 5 min.
