How to Guess Support/Resistance Level Well Ahead?

In today’s example, we are going to demonstrate an example of a fundamental character of support/resistance. We know the importance of support/resistance in trading. Thus, if we get a clue about spotting support/resistance well ahead, it comes out handy. Let us find out whether it is possible or not.

This is a daily chart. The chart shows that the price heads towards the North with good bullish momentum. It makes bearish correction and keeps resuming its bullish journey. With naked eyes, we see that the price finds its support at three points. Let us investigate the chart with some drawings on it.

We have spotted out three points where the price gets rejection twice. When the price makes a bullish move, at its second wave, it finds its support at the third arrowed point. It works with a simple equation. Can you guess what that is?

Let us draw a line. We see that the price gets rejection at the same level twice. It means it is a level of resistance when the price is bearish. The price breaches the level later and finds its support at the same level. It produces a bullish reversal candle and heads towards the North. Once the price makes a bullish breakout, the buyers shall wait for the price to make a bearish correction. If the level produces a bullish reversal candle, the pair may head towards the North by offering a long entry. This is what happens here. Let us see the same chart by zooming out.

This is the same chart. We have spotted out two significant points and spotted them with two arrows. I assume this time you guess what I am going to say. Yes, the price makes a bullish breakout and finds its support at the breakout level. This is the level, which is a level of resistance in this chart. Since it gets broken and the chart produces a bullish reversal candle, the buyers may go long in the pair again. Let us draw a line here.

See how the price reacts here. Upon producing a Morning Star, the price heads towards the North with good bullish momentum. The price makes even a stronger move this time.

The plan of a buyer should be eyeing on the level to get a bullish reversal candle where the price finds its resistance when it is bearish and vice versa. This makes traders’ life easy, and in the end, it helps them make a better trading decision.

The H1-15M Combination Trading: Waiting for an H1 Reversal Candle Ensures Better Reward

The H1 reversal candle plays a significant part in the H1-15M chart combination trading. If the traders wait to get an H1 reversal candle, by using candle’s lower low/higher high, they get a better risk-reward. In a bearish market, a trader needs to wait for an H1 bearish reversal candle after the breakout. In a bullish market, he needs to do the opposite. In today’s lesson, we are going to demonstrate an example of a bullish market where the H1-15M chart combination offers an entry upon producing an H1 bullish reversal candle. Let us get started.

This is an H1 chart. The chart shows that the price heads towards the North with good bullish momentum. The price, then upon finding its resistance, has been in a bearish correction. It consolidates around a level and heads towards the North. The buyers are to keep their eyes on the chart with a hope that it may make a bullish breakout.

The chart shows that the last candle makes a bullish breakout closing well above the last highest high. The buyers are to wait for the chart to produce an H1 bullish reversal candle followed by a 15M bullish candle to trigger a long entry. Let us keep watching the chart to get that H1 bullish reversal candle.

The chart shows that it produces two doji candles. It means the price has been in bearish correction at the minor charts. An H1 bullish reversal candle at the breakout level would be the ‘getting ready’ signal to go long in the pair.

Look at the last candle. The last candle comes out as a bullish candle forming at the breakout level. The buyers are waiting for the chart to produce such a candle. They may flip over to the 15M chart now. Let us flip over to the 15M chart.

The last candle comes out as a bearish inside bar. Since the H1 candle closes as a bullish candle, so a 15M bullish candle is the signal to trigger a long entry. Let us proceed to the next chart.

Here it is. The chart produces a bullish Pin Bar. The buyers may trigger a long entry right after the last candle closes. Traders may set their stop loss below the H1 bullish reversal candle’s lowest low, which is below the red-marked level. To set take profit, they may use Fibonacci levels. If the price trends from 61.8%, it usually goes up to the level of 161.8%. Let us find out how this one goes.

Yes, the price heads towards the level of 161.8% with good bullish momentum. If we flip over to the 15M chart right after the breakout, we would take entry by setting stop loss below 00.00%. By waiting for an H1 reversal candle, we may set the stop loss below 38.2%. This ensures a better risk-reward. On the other hand, if we always wait to get an H1 reversal candle after the breakout, we may not get it all the time. Thus, we end up being offered less number of entries in the H1-15M chart combination trading.
