I’ve just come back to see the Grade A Buy REVFIB from earlier, well done Alex for taking this one 🙂
It was textbook:
- Reversal from H1 KZ – see the H1 chart below.
- Low Probability M1 Sell MAB
- M5 Sell MAB
- Excellent GZ
The 61.8 level was PERFECTLY confluent with the top of the H1 KZ at 12824, that’s why tested it so precisely as can be seen on the M1 chart above.
That’s two tests of the H1 KZ, 8 am and 1 pm, see below.
Not a lot going on today but this was the juicy salmon that swam by, everything about it was excellent, structure and context!
A Buy Micro-REVFIB formed after the H1 KZ mentioned earlier was tested for support, since then it’s been tough as price has oscillated around the 12873 level.
I was not at my desk when this took place but it had great context as you can see below from the updated H1 chart showing the wick of the 8 am candle.
Yet another great example of the H1 KZ from last week in play this week. See the early morning blog where I posted the H1 chart anticipating the KZ coming into play.
Since last Tuesday’s high, we’ve had a few down days and are waiting to see if this is a PB before another move higher or is there more downside to come?
The EQZ@12873 is key again, let’s let the PA guide us.
Below is the H1 chart with two KeyZones highlighted where possible setups might occur.
Tough day indeed!
I managed to get a M1 FIBCON winner earlier on, but nothing of interest since then.

You timed that perfectly and got the 2R before price reversed back up, well done!
Ongoing on a REVFIB, stop loss placed well below due to US market open fears of a double bottom!

If that was the bottom, I might be in for 2 or 3 R!
I’ve just come back to my desk and marked this one up, well done for entering it.
I think the best entry was with the stop below 12817 as you’ve got your trade tool in the screenshot, I’d be wary of the H1 MAB pushing price back down. It’s looking like PA is moving in your favour at the moment though!
In hindsight, even the tightest stop loss sometimes is all you needed! It’s fascinating how REVFIBs very often reverse almost exactly at the 61.8 level. Have you imagined entering that trade with a tight stop loss? Multiple R’s would be achieved easily!
Tight SL always look so good in hindsight… In reality, the trade you put the tight SL on will be the one that takes you out quickly and then pushes on in your favour. That’s happened to me too many times.
You’re right that REVFIBs seem to conform to that 61.8 level well a lot of the time. I will have to have a look back and see just how often, that could be another edge, with tighter SL on REVFIB trades?
If PA can win this tussle with the H1 ema and get through 12873 you could be onto a great trade here…!!
…Here it goes!
Regarding the stop loss placement I think they call it the law of the sod 🙂
Nice one Alex, you got a great entry! I hope price continues to move in your favour, good luck!!
I wont’ be able to keep monitoring the trade, and considering that since I started trading again I never had a 4R day, even with the trade looking very promising (I do think PA will make an effort to reach the High of the day), I did close the trade with 2R.

Have you all a nice afternoon!
Great setup, well done on the 2R.
