The higher-timeframe picture resembles the following:
• Weekly timeframe: Current price action is seen trading just above weekly demand at 0.79631-0.78623. As we see it, price still has room to drop further into the aforementioned weekly demand area due to there being likely consumed demand area to the far left.
• Daily timeframe: A break south has been seen below daily demand at 0.78862-0.79206, price should be relatively free now to hit the next daily demand area below at 0.78117-0.78533, however, expect the possibility that price may rally to the 0.79751 area before hitting the aforementioned daily demand below.
Current price action shows price to be capped between a 4hr S/R flip level at 0.79358 and a weak-looking 4hr demand area at 0.78862-0.79048.
The market has not seen much action since it opened at 0.79091, both buyers and sellers seem very indecisive at the moment. We believe a small rally north is likely to be seen around the aforementioned 4hr S/R flip level at 0.79358 or 4hr supply above at 0.79795-0.79684 before lower prices are seen. Why do we believe this? The weekly timeframe is NEARLY at the weekly demand area, and has a little way to go before reaching this, also as reported above, the daily timeframe analysis predicts we will see a small rally higher before lower prices are seen, due to the consumed daily demand area (for levels, please see above). So, taking this all into consideration, higher prices are likely to be seen on the 4hr timeframe before a much bigger sell off is seen to around 4hr demand below at 0.78602-0.78320 which is also neatly located just above daily demand at 0.78117-0.78533.
Pending/P.A confirmation orders:
• Pending buy orders (Green line) are seen just above demand (0.78602-0.78320) at 0.78641. The reasoning behind setting a pending buy order here is due to its current location on the higher timeframes. Our 4hr demand area is just above daily demand at 0.78117-0.78533 and also just within the upper area of weekly demand at 0.76931-0.78623. • No P.A confirmation buy orders (Red line) are seen in the current market environment.
• Pending sell orders (Green line) are seen just below the supply area (0.79795-0.79684) at 0.79651. The reason for a pending sell order being set here, rather than a P.A confirmation sell order was because this area looks very hot for a first-time reaction. Notice how price faked above the S/R flip level at 0.79679 then dropped back down, there is very likely unfilled sell orders still lurking around this area, hence the need for a pending sell order. • New P.A confirmation sell orders (Red line) are seen just below the 4hr S/R flip level at 0.79358 at 0.79293. We have set a P.A confirmation sell order because price could very well smash straight through this level up to the 4hr supply area at 0.79795-0.79684 which is beautifully located around the daily S/R flip level at 0.79751.
• Areas to watch for buy orders: P.O: 0.78641 (SL: 0.78288 TP: Dependent on price approach) P.A.C: No P.A confirmation buy orders are seen in the current market environment.
• Areas to watch for sell orders: P.O: 0.79651 (SL: 0.79828 TP: Dependent on price approach) P.A.C: 0.79293 (SL: Dependent on price action after the level has been confirmed TP: Dependent on approaching price action after the level has been confirmed).
