Reentered Fiber sell, this time a live-trade, nice price compression and then price spikes above BRN 12500 (liquidity spike) trapping breakout traders who anticipated a break above the psychological BRN 12500,

Nice trade.

Ordinarily I'd be looking to bid EU around 1.2445 (similar setup on EJ too).

CADCHF setup for which I have an order. FTB @ SD zone which is also immediate retest on daily TF. Conservative SL above an SR within the zone (rather than just above the consolidation at the edge of the zone - zoom in to see this).

Just my two cents. I prefer entry at A on the chart.

My thought on why the cluster acts as supply more often than not.

My experience says the opposite - if the zone is strong enough then supply should come in at the edge of the zone not at the source. This is for a strong SD zone with a good FTB.

If the zone is not strong then the source of course is the next point to look for a reaction - it's the last line of defence so to speak.

So I'm always looking for a reaction at where price should first meet supply or demand on an zone FTB and never the source (unless the source happens to be coincide with the edge of the zone).

I find if I wait for the source I miss out on a lot of trades and then of course when price comes back the zone is weaker because supply / demand has been consumed to an extent from the first reaction.

The crosses can be more tricky though due to the nature of order flow that is present and this one just goes down as one that didn't work as expected.

Long triggered, I went long EU as price paused and formed a 15min pin. Also has USDx confluence unsurprisingly.

"If I wait for the source I miss out on a lot of trades." I totally agree with you on this.

But I'm not talking about every FTB setup. I'm just talking about one particular pattern:
1) A small cluster resolved north (buyers are happy)
2) Suddenly the cluster was engulfed by clean bears. (sucked in buyers are frustrated and waiting for price to come back up in order to bail near BE or with small loss)

This pattern works very well for me. Look at one more example.

(I'm still at the office so can't take any trade at the moment.)

Interesting stuff fella, something I've not noticed before.

The order-flow behind it makes sense...the initial longs were essentially a trap and now they'll be looking to bail out as close to BE as possible etc.

LJ,
The reason why you won't be taking this bid is due to the market sentiment?

LJ,

I did take it, I meant if it got hit yesterday because I wasn't trading yesterday (public holiday in UK - as it is today and I wish I'd taken today off too! lol).

The move down was too impulsive to take a direct touch for me so I got in after price had stalled and then formed a M15 pin. Got out for a partial loss as price then fell lower - the pause was more of a mini bear flag.

Thks for the clarification. Re the move down, isn't a strong fast move down into demand zone a plus point as it is likely to get a bigger reaction in the zone?

There is a difference between price moving with good momentum when close to the zone and price moving in an impulsive manner from a distance.

The former is what we want because of the order-flow it represents - the latter is not what we want because at each price level there is a big supply / demand imbalance which of course says that either demand is weak or available supply is very strong i.e. price is moving with a strong sentiment bias. This means there is a higher chance that a) the demand at our zone won't be strong enough to reverse price and b) orders will be removed as buyers don't want to get in the way of the strong move (orders like mine for example - not that I move the market).

I'll find examples of each so you can see it more clearly on a chart.

I don't get it, these trapped buyers, they would've closed their longs as soon as price drops below the cluster and thereby accelarating the downmove with their sell orders, they wouldn't wait until price comes all the way down and then returns all the away back to their original entry point. So the supply isn't coming from the sell orders of the trapped buyers ?

Yes, a few examples would be nice, one chart says more than a 1000 words
