Complete Market Structure: Order Flow and Multiple TimeframesUnderstanding Market Structure: A Simplified Breakdown Market structure can seem complex at first glance. But when you break it down piece by piece, it becomes much simpler to understand. At its core, price action is a visual representation of human emotion and logistic balance. It’s both calculated and unpredictable. To truly grasp price action, we must begin by understanding the foundations of the market. 1. Sentiment In the beginning, there was just a single bar — whether on the 1-minute, 1-hour, 1-day, or 1-week chart. That one bar only had one defining trait: direction. At this early point, there was no trend, no supply or demand zones — only bullish or bearish sentiment. Over time, as more bars formed, sentiment shifted. What was once bullish became bearish, or vice versa. This shift gave rise to a new phenomenon: engulfment . 2. Engulfment An engulfment occurs when one candle overtakes the previous one, signifying a strong shift in sentiment. When this happened for the first time, it created what we now call an order block around the engulfed candle. The engulfment generated a gap, which led to an imbalance in the market. Naturally, price tends to return to fill this gap to regain balance. Often, price will later engulf back in the original direction, continuing the cycle. 3. Order Flow / Sequence As more bars appeared, patterns began to form. Series of bullish bars created bullish order flow, and bearish sequences formed bearish order flow. These sequences, when viewed on higher timeframes, appeared as single candles. As these larger candles began to engulf each other, it triggered a new surface-level event: bullish sequences began overtaking bearish ones, and vice versa. This is what I call internal shifting . 4. Internal Shifting Through internal shifting — where sequences start overtaking each other — the chart begins to display more defined highs and lows. These fluctuations deepen as order flow keeps switching back and forth. Eventually, the structure is no longer just internal. Highs and lows start breaking, and broader, more visible structures form. 5. Highs, Lows, and Breaks of Structure (BoS) As this cycle continues, the external structure of a timeframe emerges. Highs get higher, then lower, and this alternation continues. The result is a zigzag pattern — the hallmark of market structure. But this structure is not random. It’s the collective output of sentiment shifts, engulfments, sequences, internal shifts, and breaks of structure, all working together to create the full picture. 6. Multi-Timeframe Principles In simple terms, the external structure of a smaller timeframe is just a more detailed (fractal) version of its higher timeframe. Likewise, the internal structure of a given timeframe is the external structure of its lower timeframe. This creates multiple perspectives of the same phenomena, depending on scale. 7. Same Concepts, Different Scales What’s called an order block on a higher timeframe may be known as a supply or demand zone on a lower timeframe. An engulfment on a higher timeframe can appear as a sequential engulfment on a lower one. An internal shift on a lower timeframe might just be a pullback when viewed from above. If you go two timeframes apart — say, from low to medium to high — you’ll notice even more complexity. For instance, a higher timeframe order block becomes a premium/discount zone in the lowest of those three timeframes. 8. Low, Medium, and High Timeframes: The Complete Picture By analyzing the market using three timeframes in unison, you can establish a complete view of market structure. When you truly understand this approach, trading becomes more strategic. Your setups gain better risk-to-reward ratios, and consistent profitability becomes more achievable. Market structure is both logically and emotionally driven — simple, yet intricate. And while we’ve covered the logical side, the emotional side lies in trading psychology — a topic I’ll be exploring in detail next. Want to apply this concept using indicators? I've developed custom indicators that reflect the principles explained above.

Squeeze in Progress: Will BOJ Trigger the Next Breakout?USDJPY 17/06 – Squeeze in Progress: Will BOJ Trigger the Next Breakout? The USDJPY pair is currently consolidating just below the key 144.650 resistance, stuck within a tightening triangle structure. As markets await more clarity from both the Bank of Japan (BOJ) and the Fed, price action is showing signs of indecision — but pressure is building. 🌐 Macro & Sentiment Overview BOJ maintains a neutral stance: Despite growing speculation of a hawkish shift, the BOJ held rates steady, providing no strong forward guidance. Markets remain cautious. US Dollar remains resilient amid stable bond yields and expectations that the Fed may delay rate cuts, adding short-term support to USDJPY. Geopolitical risk is on the rise: Ongoing Middle East tensions are fueling safe-haven demand for JPY, capping bullish momentum. 🔍 Technical Setup (M30 Chart) Price is trapped inside a symmetrical triangle, tightening between 144.652 resistance and 143.126 support. EMA 13/34/89 are aligned bullishly, but EMA 200 (red) is acting as a dynamic ceiling near 144.300. Key support zones: 144.071: Minor structural level and trendline test. 143.126: Major liquidity zone and untested demand. 🎯 Trade Scenarios 📉 Scenario 1 – Sell on Rejection at 144.652 Entry: 144.650–144.700 Stop Loss: 145.250 Take Profit: 144.071 → 143.600 → 143.126 Ideal if BOJ shifts tone or USD weakens post-Fed comments. 📈 Scenario 2 – Buy on Bullish Reaction at 143.126 Entry: 143.100–143.150 Stop Loss: 142.700 Take Profit: 143.600 → 144.071 → 144.650 → 145.200 Valid only with clear bullish confirmation on M15–M30 structure. 🧠 Final Thoughts USDJPY is coiling tightly ahead of a potential breakout. Macro uncertainty from central banks, geopolitical instability, and upcoming CPI data make this week highly volatile. Instead of chasing, let price come to your zones and react accordingly. 🔔 Focus on structure, confirm with price action, and avoid emotional trades. Patience and discipline are key in this compression phase.

USDJPY 1HThis chart illustrates a USD/JPY (U.S. Dollar / Japanese Yen) price action setup on the 1-hour timeframe with a potential bearish reversal pattern forming. Key Observations: 1. Rising Wedge Pattern: The price is moving within a narrowing range (highlighted by the two converging trendlines). A series of higher highs and higher lows is visible, but momentum appears to be weakening. 2. Rejection at Resistance (Red Arrows): Several attempts to break the upper resistance line failed. Each red arrow indicates strong selling pressure at those peaks. 3. Support Zone (Green Arrows): The lower trendline (acting as support) was tested multiple times and held—until now. 4. Breakdown Anticipated: The orange path suggests a projected move downward if the wedge breaks. The price has started to move below the wedge, signaling a possible breakdown. 5. Target TP (Take Profit): Marked at around 143.600, based on the height of the wedge or past support zones. This target aligns with prior swing lows, making it a reasonable objective. --- Interpretation: The chart anticipates a bearish reversal from the rising wedge pattern. A short position might be considered on confirmation of the breakdown with stops above the last swing high (~145.200). Traders are targeting a move to the 143.600 area. Let me know if you want help analyzing this trade idea further or need other timeframes or indicators added.

Fake breakout, support, trend line and stop loss for USDJPYI am still bearish on USDJPY. However, you can see from the shorter time frame, there are multiple occasions where fake breakouts happen. This usually stops out the traders with tight SL. Unless you have a clear strategy, after being stopped out from this pair, it is highly likely that you will move on to other pairs/asset classes to find your next pot of gold. But if you are persistent and have the patience, you will notice this fake breakout patterns. It is getting shorter and shorter. Now, with the support at 142.472, a breakdown will be great as it sends the price to 140 level. If you wants to short now, it would be better to have a wider SL, say 145.60 , the previous peak where it is more likely not to surpass. A higher SL will mean you cannot be greedy in your position size initially to rein in the gains if it moves in your favour. It is better to have a small position and the market agrees with you than to go on an aggressive mode of say 5-10 contracts position size and shortly market moves against you. The stress would be too much to bear seeing the losses running........ Find one strategy that suits your personality , risk profile and work on it tirelessly.

Bank of Japan Leaves Interest Rate UnchangedBank of Japan Leaves Interest Rate Unchanged This morning, the Bank of Japan (BOJ) released its interest rate decision, keeping the rate unchanged as widely expected. According to Forex Factory, the BOJ Policy Rate remains at 0.5%. BOJ Governor Kazuo Ueda noted the following: → Japan’s economy is recovering moderately. → The Bank will continue raising rates if economic and inflationary conditions improve. → The situation surrounding trade tariffs remains highly uncertain. The fact that the decision was anticipated by markets is reflected in price action on the charts. Technical Analysis of the USD/JPY Chart A brief spike in volatility occurred on the USD/JPY chart this morning, but it did not significantly alter the broader structure of price movements, which in June have formed a contracting triangle pattern. In recent days, the pair has been climbing from the lower boundary of the triangle toward the upper edge, forming a short-term ascending channel (highlighted in blue). However, in the near term, this bullish momentum may weaken as the USD/JPY rate approaches the upper boundary of the triangle, which coincides with the psychologically significant level of 145 yen to the dollar (indicated by arrows). From a medium-term perspective, traders should watch for a potential breakout from the triangle pattern, which could trigger a meaningful trend. One possible catalyst could be news of a trade agreement between the United States and Japan. This article represents the opinion of the Companies operating under the FXOpen brand only.

Sell attempt on USDJPY ahead of the news.We're going for a sell attempt ahead of the news on USDJPY. Our idea is that we sell at market with a stop loss at 146.14. That will give us a risk to reward of 1 to 1.7 (not that great). But we will calculate our position (1% risk) based on these levels. After the news volatility has ended entirely we will then put our stop back to where it would normally be, above the high of the last 1hr green candle, after which our risk to reward will then turn into something around 1 to 5!

USDJPY Downside continuation below 145.85The USDJPY currency pair is displaying a bearish sentiment, consistent with the broader downward trend. Price action is currently in a sideways consolidation phase, suggesting indecision as the market pauses before a potential directional move. Key Resistance Level: 145.85 — This level represents a prior intraday consolidation zone and serves as a key pivot for the next move. Support Targets: If the pair rallies toward 145.85 and is rejected, expect renewed bearish momentum targeting: 143.00 (initial support) 142.25 (intermediate support) 141.40 (long-term support level) On the other hand, a confirmed breakout and daily close above 145.85 would invalidate the bearish outlook and suggest growing bullish momentum. In that scenario, price could aim for: 146.85 (near-term resistance) 147.60 (extended upside target) Conclusion: USDJPY remains technically bearish within a consolidation pattern. A rejection from the 145.85 resistance zone would confirm a continuation toward lower support levels. However, a daily close above 145.85 would shift sentiment to bullish, potentially triggering a retest of higher resistance levels. Traders should closely monitor the price reaction around the 145.85 level to confirm direction.

USD/JPYIn my previous analysis, I held a long bias on USD/JPY; however, recent geopolitical tensions and market-moving news have shifted the outlook. The pair has now broken below a key trendline, forming new lower lows, suggesting a potential change in structure. At this point, two possible scenarios could unfold: Scenario 1: USD/JPY may retest the breakout zone around the 145.000 level before continuing its move downward. Scenario 2: The pair may continue its bearish momentum, break through the next significant support at 142.480, and potentially offer a shorting opportunity following a confirmed retest of that level. Although the chart has shown mixed signals with both bullish and bearish formations, I’m reminded of an insightful quote I read this morning by Mihai_Iacob: “Trade the chart, respect the world around it.” With that in mind, I will continue to focus on technical structure while remaining mindful of external factors such as geopolitical events and high-impact news that could influence volatility and market direction.

USD/JPY – Bullish Breakout Setup (1H Timeframe)I’m currently monitoring the USD/JPY pair on the 1-hour chart. The pair was in a bearish trend earlier, but after forming a Bullish Divergence, it has started to print a series of Higher Highs (HHs) and Higher Lows (HLs) — a classic sign of trend reversal and strength. I’m planning a Buy Stop entry above the most recent Higher High. If the breakout occurs, I’ll execute the trade based on this bullish continuation setup. 🧠 Technical Confluences: ✅ Bullish Divergence observed — signals momentum shift. ✅ Market Structure shifting to HHs and HLs. ✅ Entry planned above recent HH to confirm breakout. 📊 T rade Setup: Pair USD/JPY Timeframe 1H Trend: Bullish Entry: Buy Stop @ 144.789 Stop Loss: 143.834 Take Profit 1: 145.744 Take Profit 2: 146.699 Lot Size: 0.15 Risk–Reward 1:1 and 1:2 Risk $200 Reward $300 📌 Trade will be activated only upon confirmation — a break above the previous high.

The US dollar retreats as the Japanese yen stages a resurgence.The USD/JPY has continued to decline, hitting a low of around 143.50 during the European session, marking a new weekly low. In terms of exchange rate dynamics, the key support level lies at 142.500, which has withstood multiple tests recently without being breached. A valid break below this level would open up further downward space, with the next support to be monitored at 141.78 (lower Bollinger Band). On the upside, resistance is seen near 145.500, a level that has repeatedly formed phased highs and suppressed price rebounds. Humans need to breathe, and perfect trading is like breathing—maintaining flexibility without needing to trade every market swing. The secret to profitable trading lies in implementing simple rules: repeating simple tasks consistently and enforcing them strictly over the long term.
