It needs to clear 1706 too, but near is more R 1717/18. I'm shooting for 1745 to help pull it. It may not be pretty.. the 15 5 min points down. the 60 30 min up but on the edge. below 1704 shows b/o. 1682 stopped it.
If it clears 1718 and remains to 1745.. The 5 and 15 min should turn bullish.

I closed my eu long. I doubt will close the next h above 1759. That will make me more prone to look for a place to short if it hit 1745.. Its unable to even hold 1704 atm. 1682 may hold.. the 30 min and 60 are still there but on the edge of flipping.

below 1682.. The 30 and 1h could flip. If 1682 is lost.. 1656 would be another place that may support. 1704 was a b/o level. Bulls are unable to take it back so far. The day structure bulls will fail today. 1682 looks to be tested hard.
1716/1719 could prevent LC 1745. Its having problems with 1704 already..Bulls need to make a stand here at 168x.. closing this next h below 1682 is more weakness.. 1688 can show it too..

I could of stayed out .. I took the lean pa is above 1682, and attracted to 1730. The day structure did lose some momentum, but still above 1682. My 15 and 5 are bearish.. the 30+ bullish. 1730 is above the 5 and 15 min. Above 1704/06.. Against 1682. Somebody will be wrong. R/R is ok. It would still need to clear 1704/06, 1716/19 to me..
The trend being up.. More rate cuts expected

1730 was my tp area for my longs from Asia low. Dont expect 1682 to break easily with no news to push it.
green pips.

i have got a bull confirmation after the hourly closes

Find whatever setting you like. Don't use just any ma setting. Find one that reacts more than just random over and over.. Everything you trade has its own rhythm. . Set your RSI on the same setting as the ma you choose.. +- 50%.. If its coming to the ma from above.. if the RSI is above the 50%.. Its prone to be bullish.. The same when hitting your chart ma from below.. If the ma is below the 50%.. it has a better chance of holding. And bouncing off the ma. It may help with smaller entry areas and tp.
The yellow is 267... The RSI is 267.. 5min.

yea to set trends and look for reversal signs

Mainly on 1h but i do have key trendlines on daily chart which 1682 1667 1650 important to me as that is where the daily trendline sits

i do go down to 15m and 1m to get confirmation as well

1715-20 area key as well as per my trendlines yesterday closing below indicates a potential false breakout.
but will need to sustain below

After..
That could help a tp.. and allow some retrace to enter the larger time frames that lean bullish. or the possible short.

Don't just use any setting you heard about like the 200.. Test it.. see how often it works.. 100 may work better test it too.. Use the 3 ma's or not.. settings for direction. the center ma for your RSI setting. or whatever you like for confirmation.. Play with it.. If may filter things better. It may get you in at a better price.. If it hits your tl.. see if the rsi favors the bounce

Its easy.. +or -.. In the direction you want.Just glancing at the 1h today set up a long from 1688 area..likely target 1730.
Add what you like.. Its just a filter.. It gives more value if inline.
You will see the RCI before the trade hits your entry point.
