Fiber had a pretty good reaction to FOMC after Wednesday's price action took out most of the low hanging liquidity's.

We still have Monday low and new week gap remaining, but thats against order flow which is a bit risky.

Its good idea to let price settle and build some structures to attack instead of guessing which side of the ping pong to risk position for.

Little under the weather today, if I get energy I provide a nugget for why I decided to target current target

If fiber 2H candle stick closes like this or still red(next 12 minutes)

A short setup is created.

Invalidation(SL) above London Open/High
Target Yesterday's Low (the beautiful 4H bullish candle low, I bet there are lots of stops there, acting as heat seeker)

There are other confluences, like SMT divergence, GBP took out a high and then took the low, Euro did not take out the high, but took out the low, indicating for a local top - 4H DXY candle stick opens also in 12 minutes, giving us some room for wicks.

We got the confirmation, 2H closed as it should, activating the short setup.

This target im pointing toward, its a sexy 4H bullish candle, I imagine many have used it as invalidation for long(I would if I was long)

Making it an attractive target, if price is indeed gonna clear stops rest of the week(bearish price action)

The below is DXY, the newly opened 4H candle, coinciding with NY open - I want it to wick down to or close to the red dotted line(which is an old low pivot) this wick will make sure that fiber position gets filled, before DXY revert back and take out the highs - this is how I imagine price action to develop.

I just wanna add, the above setup is risky, since its against the order flow, but i have had a good week, i can afford to risk some of my weekly profits on this setup.

4H DXY more or less did its job, I dont mind it reverts now. We can afford more push down, but if its gonna be bullish it should act sensitive to this area.

Where my final TP is, yesterday's low.

But im out 70% of my position, letting the rest ride down there, with SL in break even. I shaved off my position at each low we broke.

Yes, this is final target, meaning you should have taken profits along the way.

also to play it safe in case of slippage, take profit slightly above the low or at the exact bottom, sometime you have double bottoms/tops taking shape, wasting your time, because it can run opposite very fast

Yes, still got 30% of my position from the absolute top and opened a new short at the inverted 2h FVG.

If I close my position before TP I will write in this thread.

Fiber/Euro 2h current candle, I wanna see it close red, 1 hour left.

If not, we can experience shenanigans when the new 4h candle open in 1 hour.

If 2h closes red, making the current 4h candle open low down, much less likely hood of shenanigans.

I will either close or keep open this coming hour.

What a great week,, I made almost 2k, missed the moves early on the week, but managed to counter trend with precision.

Final target hit - although I closed my positions yesterday at break even... because of sickness.

On a personal note, I feel horrible, maybe winter cold or food poisoning, I hope to recover over the weekend...

Friday is tricky to trade, but if I held a gun to my head, I would target Monday low
