{quote} could you explain your first sentence a bit more, thx? What's a C2 closure? What do you mean by: "at hourly resistance POT a continuation"? The riverband pattern is clear to me, great entry.
I hope my chart clarifies things further

Hi guys the price action for me has been in a huge consollidation, it took out my short position. so far 4 wins 1 and loss in the week. 3 not taken but 2 was taken
Here's Why I took the short:
1. The daily close bearish
2. C2 closed within the range of yesterdays' closure, but the market still remained bullish
3. I entered to go short because the market closed with an imbalance. with a riverband sell setup.
4. The second candle invalidated it.

I still remained bearish, I want to always have less interactions with my trades, No need to for BE for the next either TP or SL. this is what I aim for

I feel I lack a consistently and skipped a step here, the market structure shift needs to happy on the higher timeframe. discovered my previous trades were based on the trend most importantly the 1H TF, will look to see how I can adjust and ensure there's a structure shift

red news to beat out all technical analysis because we are not able to predict the outcome

The Three Friends
A traveler once walked the market roads with two friends.
One was fast and impulsive, reacting to every small movement.
The other was cautious, waiting for signs before acting.
At every crossroads, they argued. With only two voices, there was no clear answer—just doubt and hesitation.
One day, a third friend joined them. He spoke less, observed more, and looked far beyond the next turn. When the first two disagreed, his calm view settled the decision. With three opinions, a majority emerged, and confusion faded.
From then on, their journey became smoother and safer.
Moral:
Two opinions often conflict. Three bring clarity.
And in trading, as in life, the higher timeframe is the mature friend—quiet, patient, and wise—guiding decisions in the right direction.

Two sessions of waiting and finally NY has delivered. Will see in the ASIA session if it is a genuine sell off.

Today I waited patiently till I can see a sweep and a good size hammer candle(they are my guide) near Asia Low or another crucial level.
The problem is I again could not hold my excitement and closed the trade with 6 pips up : ) 4608 till 4614.

we had 2 sessions of drop during new york and asia.
something not so frequent.
2 levels to watch out. yesterday and the day before yesterday low.
price needs to close above the fib 50 during london or new york in order to continue the upward move.
