Dont try to pick tops and bottoms
LTH STH ITH LTL STL ITL
The 1st question is, what is the current market narrative? What is it likely going to do now?
Is it going up for stops or lower for stops? Is it going higher or lower to rebalance?
LTH/LTL should not be broken
Everytime price rebalances a FVG that swing that did that is an ITH/ITL Typically an ITL will have a higher STL to the left and right
Between 2 STH will be an ITH
Use market structure within a HTF premise
You can go hunting for FVGs in the ITH leg while the STH is in the making to the right of the ITH and under the ITH
Mark everything on the TF youre trading on, dont go too low thats an overkill Daily FVG → 1h structure → 15m entries for example
LTH and LTL is generally going to be linked to a daily chart
The daily chart is what institutions and banks work off of
Daily is the most important, bias is found off daily limit your forecast to a 5 day time horizon
A break above/below an ITH/ITL is a significant break in market structure
Draw FIB from LTL to ITH when bearish, -1.5 is a standard deviation Cause thats where the swing starts
If the ITH is not higher than 2 STH that means the market is weak/bearish vice versa for bullish
In bearish conditions, all upclosed candles should be respected vice versa when bullish If that doesnt happen its only allowed if theres a STH above it, then its likely a liquidity grab (Minute 53)
The high/low that rebalances a FVG should not get taken out, otherwise you might have the wrong bias
The ITH/ITL shouldnt be violated, its a key high/low if the ITH/ITL gets broken wait on the sidelines and observer
If you think price can go either way and have no clear bias then thats low probability, if you can see it clearly go in 1 direction then thats high probability.
