If neutral, I would think the support would be the extreme

I don't understand your logic. You are only taking the S or R at the extremes which is also wrong by default as extremes.

You are basically implying that long are right until the ultimate low is taken and shorts are right until the ultimate high is taken which doesn't make much sense, neither will help you spotting a flip.

Agree with Goosebone on the flip in buy mode.
mmmm ...So according to you where should it be on neutral and shorts?

Agree with Goosebone on the flip in buy outlook where he was drawing it.

In buy outlook, I assumed the support wasn't the extreme of the current range...

Agree with Goosebone also. Dally close below this level I thought would be bearish.

In neutral I will place it at the break of the flag 4 1/2 bar earlier. So currently it would be to late to take position or an expensive ticket

ooooh. tricky that one. good question/point.

No doubt you omitted the timeframe and instrument to force the viewer to 'focus' on relevant information .

My eye (based on my current method) was immediately drawn to the flip range indicated though I wouldn't buy yet as the last few candles have a heavy down bias. I would wait to see if the market stalls in the flip zone (again) and breaks back up and out.

Wasn't able to draw (on the road), but that was my take on it as well.

but you are choosing the Resistance in play instead of the rejection and failure.
Many areas of rejection & failure

-> When a Resistance or Support stop being valid? When we have a rejection of a trend be it up or down.
-> How can you recognise soft S/R areas and strong? Two ways for a strong S/R: TF (D, W and M) and a rejection of a trend for many times at a specific level. Vice-versa for the soft S/R.

With regard to the question on the flip in the buy outlook chart, it's at the previous candle (green one) of the last one. Few times, this level behave as a flip as well as resistance.

When price moves through the level and closes on the other side
-> How can you recognise soft S/R areas and strong?
Repeated attempts at this after retrace fail with stronger s/r levels.

I was getting ready to post my FLIP chart and yours was exactly what I had drawn. Hope we are right!

Ok interesting how a simple example can trigger so many questions and alternatives. Let's plot some 'helpers' sketching the top and bottom and flip areas to see if that answer some ? or raise even further questions before moving forward.

Assume the chart is minutes before the FED and we get the headline that they decided to hike rates by 2 points so we change the outlook from buy to Sell. Can you spot the new flip?.
